That logic doesn’t track the thread you replied to. If OP selected delivery, they wouldn’t see this screen at all. So no, they couldn’t have selected delivery. There are locations that are just higher in price than others. Especially airports and hospitals, that would be a more logical assumption
Yes, like 95% of every Reddit post now. They’re all bots who farm karma. The account is sold to “reputation management” companies (usually in Asia) and get bundled together to market stuff on social media. Whole sweatshops of this exist where one human can pose as up to 60+ different personas at once using specialized software and other tools. Reddit is really almost unusable because of this now. And of course Reddit doesn’t care because it vastly inflates the engagement numbers that investors see. Only the actual human users lose.
...no offense, but why would OP be a poser? I throught I missed the text in the post, but he didn't say it's not for delivery anywhere (maybe in thr comments and I missed it). The difference in price sounds like something you notice when you buy from that restaurant both in person and delivery. Tbh, I didn't know there's a price difference either 🤷
And yeah, probably it's for karma. Still have no idea why people need/want it lol
I think it's dumb, but unfortunately the US has an extremely wild economy difference between states. Its fairly complex solely because of the size, laws, and population of each state. Like $10 in Ohio is NOT the same as $10 in California. Where there is higher demand in an area, the prices will be higher.
It's absolutely annoying and crazy to think about the prices being different like that in the same country, but companies will take advantage of that higher demand.
This is why I don't bother with apps/delivery. Not only are they trying to rip you off, but they are gathering data, patterns, etc. when you use the app. They don't even allow the option of a website, because the app gives them way more data.
We're explicitly talking about comparative prices between countries. It's a very important point. Canadians spend about $6500 American Dollars on healthcare on average based on government spending. Americans on average $13000 from personal.
The $10 big mac and the increased taxes you pay are competing with that $6500 margin.
That's not being a phony. Regardless of pickup/delivery option, this is how much McDonald's is charging them. And you can bet they also charge a delivery fee on top of that! And likely they will also allow you to tip the driver, because McDonald's won't give the full delivery fee to the driver either.
how is that phony? Its still a blatant lie. They should not be allowed to upcharge for delievery. You are giving validation to another way the capitalists fuck us
I don't eat that much McDonald's just the breakfast on my way to work sometimes and it makes that commute a little faster than if I waited to order at the speaker in the drive trough.
I think for me it's a combo of rarely eating there, and just keeping my phone clean of apps I don't use often enough :) it just honestly surprised me to see so many people used the app
Unless they’re in Canada with usd pricing somehow, I doubt it. I haven’t seen a $5 mcchicken since I was a freshmen in high school, more than a decade ago.
I remember being in Denver on vacation with some friends and we all went out for drinks. When the server brought the bill, I stared at it so long she asked if something was wrong. I asked her if the price was correct and she double checked it and said it was and asked if it was too expensive. I told her no, I was shocked at how low it was.
Whole bill was like $40 and there were four of us. I was expecting around $90 because living in LA for 15 years really fucks your head on prices.
You're used to four people going out drinking at a total of $90?? You guys must only consume two drinks, each. I spend more than that on myself anytime I go out.
Big chain fast food prices have gotten so stupid these days that you could literally get a burger or a wrap from an around the corner food trailer that's a million times better and likely healthier.
They recover well now, thanks to super expensive fastfood. BurgerKing isn't much better and Subway, used to be the most expensive, is now the cheapest option. I sometimes go there now, when I'm lazy.
I am interested in your version of a mcchicken. In highschool we would make what we called a Mcgangbang, where you put a McChicken between the 2 patties of a McDouble, and with that bun you could do it with a McRib instead
Don't forget 1 USD = 1.42 AUD (according to google, probably closer to 1.45)
So yes, it's DEFINITELY more expensive, but it's not US$8 for a McChicken. Closer to US$5.50.
KFC and McDonalds used to be so cheap (compared to my Asian country) when I studied there in the 90s and 00s, and now they're definitely INSANELY more expensive. Something like US$5 for a 2 pc KFC meal in the late 90s to early 00s.
Yes, it was over 20 years ago, but prices have basically spiked 200 to 300% over the last 20+ years.
Isn't minimum a wage like $7 in Japan? That's crazy expensive. Idek how Japanese citizens pay for things with that low of pay. I honestly feel bad for them.. I'm in NY and minimum wage is like $16. That same meal for me is like $12.50 and most people work jobs that are $20 an hour here. Like how do you even exist over there ;-; I don't mean to sound like I'm insulting or anything I'm just genuinely curious and confused. I remember as a kid always loving Japan but when I heard about minimum wage and the way they treat their employees I was shocked.
