Why is fast food so expensive now? This morning I paid $9.00 for two sausage biscuits from Mcdonalds and a ice coffee, I could have gone to a diner and gotten a home cooked meal for that.

I've always loved McD's breakfast, but the last time I went there I was outraged at how expensive it was for just me and I usually don't care about things being expensive. I think it was over $12 for a breakfast meal and two additional hash browns. Haven't been back since.

One of the beauties I have learned getting older and teaching myself to cook is realizing how much of a snob I have become. I can cook anything and everything. Why the fuck do people still pay that much? Laziness that's why. You could have made that easy dude, but you're lazy as fuck and you're inconsiderate of your own time.

You know it costs 9 bucks? because you don't respect yourself, your time, and your body. You lazy OP. You have no one to blame but yourself. I can't feel bad for your wasting of money. Convenience is the nice way of putting it. Laziness is the reality of it.

I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.

She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.

I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.

That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?

How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

McDonald’s sources its fresh ingredients from the same places my supermarket does. Bagged Greens? Yes. Blueberries from the Central Valley? Done. Major Brand Apple Slices? You got it. Also, the egg McMuffins are made with eggs that are cracked right onto the griddle. Sure the strawberry banana smoothie has a lot of sugar in it, but so do smoothies everywhere else and the ones at McDonald’s have the most vitamin C. For the record, my kids order the small strawberry-banana smoothie which is a 12 oz drink clocking in at 210 calories.Not to mention the fruit and walnut salad, a great snack for kids. It is the most hidden item on the menu. Even most employees don’t realize it’s there, but if you ask for it by name, they can find it. Above all, the kitchens and pantries at McDonald’s are immaculate.

It shouldn't have cost that OP. Iced coffee is 99c. Hrm. I think you messed up and just didn't order the better special of the day. There will always be something BOGO or the better deal. Also I can't tell you how often I get breakfast coupons in the sunday paper or the mail for fast food from McDs to dunkin donuts. I rarely do breakfast drivethroughs, since it's no time to make that stuff at home. My coffee is better too.

But, in general, yes, I have noticed that most fast food has some very expensive value meals now, topping $12 at lunch. But, I would be concerned that there is something wrong with most restaurant prices, where simple diners are having those burgers at the same price point. But for breakfast, any place that has senior citizens often will have one simple breakfast inexpensive but might charge a lot for coffee.

If you're gonna brag about your backyard, at least have the decency to post pictures.

Goto order for McDonald's is to leave, head to Dairy Queen and get a Flamethrower combo for around $7.

If there's not a Dairy Queen, I live in the midwest, so there's definitely a Sonic, which means I can get a chicken sandwich combo instead. Sonic comes with a Route 44 cherry limeade to last a few hours too.

Honestly, fuck McDonald's. If there's literally nowhere else to eat, I order two $1 McChickens or the McPick 2 for $3 menu with a large Hi-C or Powerade.

I swap between cherry and raspberry on a whim; both are top-teir fruits for drink mixing
