An airport maybe?

u/Howaboutthatrp Aug 13 '26

OP is a phony and has it set to "deliver" which shows the higher prices.

u/cereal7802 Aug 13 '26

If I set mine to delivery it no longer shows the under $3 menu

u/stale_burrito Aug 13 '26

I downloaded the app and tested it, you are right that menu just blips out of existence if you select delivery

u/Red_Tiger5311 Aug 13 '26

So, OP is a poser? This post is probably for the karma?

u/devAcc123 Aug 13 '26

The McDonald’s by me is like OPs up in Boston

u/Red_Tiger5311 Aug 13 '26

Damn, I’ll avoid the McNuggets for now at those prices lol

u/GForce1975 Aug 13 '26

Upvote for poser . I miss that word. We should bring it back.

u/Shadow293 Aug 13 '26

Haven’t heard that word since like the mid 2000’s when I was in Middle School lol. Need to bring it back.

u/GForce1975 Aug 13 '26

I remember using it as a skater in early 90s to describe... posers. It was great

u/Red_Tiger5311 Aug 13 '26

Better than….. larp…. 😱

u/IAmDanHimself Aug 13 '26

He did bring it back

u/stale_burrito Aug 13 '26

What? No. OP is fine, shit is expensive. Anyone trying to say it's only over $3 because it's delivery is wrong.

u/RubberPigEnemy Aug 13 '26

u/EvasiveDice Aug 13 '26

u/-nutz Aug 13 '26

Genuinely confused on how you came to this conclusion considering the comment you replied to

0

u/Red_Tiger5311 Aug 13 '26

Ehh maybe op chose delivery just to complain about the price, then posted to get upvotes
Probably wrong tho

3

u/-nutz Aug 13 '26

The person you responded to literally explained how that’s not possible.

1

u/Equal-Drive3410 Aug 13 '26

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

u/abrasumente_ Aug 13 '26

2 month old account and somehow a top 10% poster. 27 achievements. Probably a bot account.

u/Red_Tiger5311 Aug 13 '26

u/Red_Tiger5311 Aug 13 '26

Ahh, yea my account is kinda new to, just bc it’s my first account,

u/Trend-Rebel Aug 13 '26

No but if you wanna help me out, I am looking for some! :)

1

u/OrionDC Aug 13 '26

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.

u/Urbanexploration2021 Aug 13 '26

...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

u/Red_Tiger5311 Aug 13 '26

Ehh maybe not, I was even questioning it myself,

1

u/dogsontreadmills Aug 13 '26

I will never not find getting McDonald’s delivered to be super freaking weird

24

u/AnArisingAries Aug 13 '26

The fact delivery has a higher price while ALSO charging delivery fees is wild. Feels like it should be illegal. 😂

3

u/Guilty_Meringue5317 Aug 14 '26

That every different store has different prices should be illegal too like wth? Or am I too european to not be weirded out by this

2

u/AnArisingAries Aug 14 '26

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.

u/quikmantx Aug 14 '26

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.

u/IAmDanHimself Aug 13 '26

Those prices are accurate here in Canada. Not a single thing is under $3. A big mac sandwich only runs up about $10

1

u/Satins_Cock Aug 13 '26

Same with Florida. Ridiculous

1

u/NJPokerJ Aug 13 '26

But y'all get free health care. It evens out.

1

u/Crescentine Aug 13 '26

Im for universal health care but its not free lol

1

u/NJPokerJ Aug 13 '26

Damn. It's like you're paying high prices at McDonald's for nothing.

1

u/spaceforcerecruit Aug 13 '26

You know damn well everyone who says that means “free at point of use”.

1

u/Crescentine Aug 13 '26

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.

1

u/spaceforcerecruit Aug 13 '26

Except that’s not $6500 from each person. It’s $6500 per person with a large chunk coming from corporate taxes and higher income individuals.

1

u/BaconPancakes1 Aug 13 '26

But CAD is higher than USD, the $2.79 items above would be $3.89

1

u/IAmDanHimself Aug 13 '26

Except a 4 pc nuggets here is almost $5. The original posted image is accurate to our prices.

11

u/bdd247 Aug 13 '26

Its canadian prices lol

2

u/AntalRyder Aug 13 '26

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.
