/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>20048759
Because I’ll pay whatever they fucking ask me to. As long as they slowly jack the price up instead of overnight, I won’t really notice. $20 for a burger, fries and a coke? No problem and you know I’ll leave a tip too.

>tfw can't afford junk food
This made me cook more...

It's unironically the new rich. They're always driving gaudy SUVs and have zero class.

>>20048759
People know they’ll never be able to afford to own a home or raise children so they just comfort eat and doom spend. There’s no reason to be careful with money anymore.

>>20048759
That's a fairly small amount of McDonalds for an average-sized person, I'd say? The main reason fast-food cooks so fast and "lasts" so short is that there isn't much density to it. I wouldn't WANT to eat a double helping of nuggets in that timeframe, but I could easily.

>>20048759
A lot of retards don't know how to cook and have no choice other than buying pre-made sloppa.

>>20048759
We've been brainwashed. That pic makes me want to drive to McDonald's and get dinner.
In fact, I'm fighting really hard not to.

Reminder that you have to use their app to preorder to get non-exorbitant prices on their food. If you're just pulling in and ordering in person, they're fucking you over with their normal meniu prices.

Are you still hungry? Use code ck now and get 10% off your order. Find a mcdonalds near you! Based on your current location a mcdonalds is only 2 miles away from you.

>>20048845
If it were only two miles I'd already be in the car

>>20048844
I'd rather pay $16 than install a fucking fast food chain's app on my phone.

>>20048759
The coupons in the app bring the prices back down to being reasonable. For example, my app has had a get two free any size fry with the purchase of a 20 piece nugget. So, I pay $8 and get 2 large fries and a 20 piece and feel as if I got a decent value.

>>20048872
Just download the app goy

>>20048872
don't eat fast food
don't have a smartphone

>minimum wage reflects inflation
you didn't really think you'd get that "raise" without consequence, did you?

>>20048777
it sucks, I used to enjoy all sorts of junk food, potato chips especially. I haven't binged on chips for over a year now, I used to enjoy being a fatass on a friday night, visit the local grocery store, buy a couple bags and some soda, and pig out while watching something stupid, then I pass out on the couch from all that junk. Now my only joy is from sipping an energy drink before working out

>>20048976
Federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009. Try again, schlomo.

>>20048759
>How do they do it?
the majority of their customers are poor people making poor decisions. Prices may have changed but their behaviors' has not.

>>20048992
right, the feds are the ones flipping boigas for $15+/hr.

>>20048976
If it reflected inflation min wage would be 60+ an hour

>>20048976
>the poorest of wagies getting a few extra crumbs is the reason inflation is spiraling out of control and making everything expensive goyim, not corporate greed or the trillions of dollars printed out of thin air and given to (((business interests))) and (((overseas allies)))

>>20049079
Inflation is the increase in money circulating not the rising prices.
You are actively contradicting yourself.

>Most common measure of Inflation in the US is the CPI
>CPI is the consumer Price Index
>It is calculated by taking a basket of goods and having secret shoppers go out to various stores to purchase the items
>as the total price on this basket of goods increases by a certain percentage the CPI is said to have increased by the same percentage
>anon somehow thinks inflation is not rising prices

Damn that looks hella good. Finna get me some mac dolans today mmmm mmmmm I'm lovin it

3 mcdonald's threads right now i'm not complaining i just think it's kinda funny

>>20048759
The other day I had Maccas for the first time in about 3 years. It was fucking terrible. I only had a Big Mac without cheese and a medium Coke and it cost like $12 AUD.
Not to mention the quality of it - everything tastes like it's made entirely out of sugar now. The buns were so sweet it was practically like eating a donut. The best part was the lettuce and even that tasted like it was two days old.
But the best part was the clientele around me - fat fucks as far as the eye could see. I'm not exaggerating when I say that about 80 percent of the people around me were obese. There was like one other skinny dude there and everyone else was staring at us like we'd just beamed onto the bridge of the fucking Enterprise or something.
Fuck Mickey Ds, fuck a Happy Meal, fuck Ronald and fuck every 60-inch waistline-having motherfucker who steps into that soulless carb-cave. Next time someone is going to pay me to do that shit.

Someone is jelly because they can't afford to eat 3+ meals a day at McDonald's. I'm sure you enjoy hating on all the "fat fucks," but all of us are curvy because we are rich and can afford to feed ourselves. You're skinny because you are a poor. Keep being jelly of our immense wealth and our waistlines, poorbro.

>>20048797
Unironically this

>>20048759
I got the app, 2-for-1 happy meals and other shit was nice for a while. But that shit would just open itself almost every time I unlocked my phone, so I deleted it, and it just isn't worth the price without the app.

>>20048759
RELATIVELY SMALL

Meanwhile, on the west side.

>>20048836
I've eaten mcdonalds about 10 times this year, but it's always because it's convenient and cheap if you use the (((app))). Every item in OP's image looks like shit.

>>20048759
looks good

americans are fat, ugly, miserable and used too of living greasy life

>>20048759

>>20048976
oy vey

>>20050339
Amazing i can get a double + fries for less than 10 here still.
And their burgs are amazing when you haven't had one in a year.

i went to in n out for the first time in probably over a year last month, braced for the worst walking in because ive heard about fast food prices (havent gone to a mcdonalds in decades). was pleasantly surprised to see the prices pretty decent

its so funny how angry it makes people around the country. theyll reee about in n out and praise five guys which im sure in todays age its probably even MORE expensive tan it was years ago when i already felt it was ridiculous

>>20048844
I'll save more money not having the app on my phone because I wont think about McDicks as an option as often. Zoomers fall for the dumbest shit
