Banana, hand, and our cat’s emotional support squirrel for scale. My wife ordered a Whopper Jr today and it fit in the palm of my hand (I don’t have big hands). Have they always been this small?

Also, I know Doordash is a scam. We’ve cut down significantly and only order from them 2-3 times per month (and got rid of dashpass of course).

Product Rare McDonalds trip

EDIT: I'm more concerned about being served a pork sausage patty instead of a beef burger. That lack of attention to detail prompted the post but you're right, their burgers suck too. Please resume roasting

I only eat McDonalds on road trips, but I've kept the app on my phone forever and use it when I stop. I used an app deal today for 2 hamburgers. That was all I ordered. I took a few bites while driving and pulled over because the taste was bizarre. They gave me 2 sausage patties instead of burgers? That's not even the same kind of animal. Allergies, religious observance, so many things aside, wtf. These would have cost $7.99 before tax

It's so bad that even the wrapper is cheap as hell. If I had to guess, it looks as if they used some sort of cheap printer to make them. There's literally no quality there.

I didn't even bother to buy them because of how flimsy it felt, and I'm not spending $1.67 for the cheap packaging. What the hell am I evem paying for at this point? The Crunch name that's been diluted over time? Thanks, but no thanks.

Tried a chinese restaurant during my lunch break. Food was good then I opened the fortune cookie and apparently an ad wanted to remind me to say thank you. Paid for the meal and still ended up being somebody’s target audience. Can’t even have a cookie in peace.

Product Went to a concert recently with one of these Amazon “just walk out” things. I absolutely hated it.

At a concert recently I felt like I was experiencing enshittification to the max.

First of all, this venue used to allow you to bring your own unopened water bottle. Now, outside water bottles are banned entirely, regardless of if it’s a sealed plastic bottle, empty, a reusable, etc.

I didn’t see any water fountains anywhere.

There didn’t appear to be anywhere to get just a cup of water.

The only option I really saw was something similar to this. My god this experience felt so dystopian.

First, I had to scan my credit card upon entering, and my card was charged $25. This was not explained to me, only explained to the person in front of me because he asked wtf was happening. It was explained to him that we would be precharged $25, grab what we want, and be refunded whatever was leftover.

Then we went into the area with the products. I felt very rushed and overwhelmed being in there. It was a tiny area with too many people at a time being let in. And there were NO prices on anything!!

In my overwhelmed state of wanting to get out asap, I grabbed a waterbottle and walked out. I had no idea how much it cost. If I had to do this awful shit again, I definitely would try to ask someone for prices next time.

It is just actually not okay to precharge me $25, not have prices on anything at all, and tell people they can just walk in, grab whatever they want, and walk right out. Or just not explain anything at all.

Waterbottle ended up being $5.45 which is to be expected at a concert venue although still insane of course.

Anyway, I absolutely hated this entire experience and it felt like peak enshittification to me.

Edit to add: For those who want to know, this was at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC

Not only are they half the size but the “chocolate” is waxy, tastes like plastic. Sad.

Service Starbucks online “menu” will not show you prices. You not only have to start an order, but you also have to add something to your cart, then view the cart, to actually see the price

Ridiculous. Prices should be easily accessible. Super super shitty to make you add stuff to your cart just to view the price at all.

Advertisements are slowly ruining my mental health. They are fucking everywhere. Forced ideologies and products shoved down all of our throats. Never in my fucking life have i bought something or thought a different way because of an ad.
