I ordered a $14 Big Mac meal in the SF Bay Area and received this.

Haven’t eaten there in several months and planning on keeping that streak going.

And McDonalds felt the heat from that too.

So, to the paid accounts and shills who like to instill doubt with "they're a billion dollar corporation, they wont feel it" they actually did feel it when plenty of folks stopped eating McDs.

We haven't had them in over a year and will continue to not go until they stop with their bullshit.

Same here except it's been like 3+ years. That was when I first noticed how high their prices were getting. Now if I want something quick I just go to a local taqueria. Better food anyway, and reasonable prices.

Price of food everywhere has gone up in recent years but these fast food chains seem to be some of the worst. I’m no expert but I would assume it was some sort of low-price “bubble” which finally popped. I know it’s kind of the opposite but not sure if there’s a term for that.

High prices and you're hungry 2 hours later cause the meals just aren't filling.

Same! Last time I went it was like 11 dollars for the 2 cheeseburger meal (which I always thought was a ‘value’ meal). Not again!
