    Its 18 dollars for a combo meal the local McD’s right now. Across the street is a Puerto Rican place, where I can get a steak sandwich for $21 (or shrimp for $20, or chicken for $18) and it comes with a side of gandules rice or tostones.

    Its not that complicated.

    They can’t grow anymore, so they had to ramp up the prices to continue to please shareholders.

    Next will be a certain decline in quality, like more air in bread (“fluffier bread”) and nuggets and more water in the meat (“juicier”) and shakes, maybe they’ll even remove the free refill stuff.

    Someone had posted recently the price inflation of different fast food chains and if I am not wrong McDonald’s was having one of the steepest price hikes. So hardly surprising.

    The prices went up drastically. And the taste stayed behind dramatically. I can’t even describe the taste of the burger patty’s, so damn tasteless.
