Joke probably worked better 10 years ago when McDonaldâs wasnât priced like gourmet dining.
If you go to a foreign country and think every local restaurant is overpriced then the problem may actually be you.
One of the best parts of living in the SF bay area is literally anywhere you go isnât particularly expensive per what you are used to. My wife and I went out to a particularly fancy restaurant on Santorini and the bill was less than weâve often paid in Berkeley.
Iâm in SF right now recovering from medical stuff. Food prices here shocked me how relatively cheap it is compared to where I live in Seattle. Had Yamo the other day, best fried rice Iâve had since visiting Taiwan, only $30 to feed three people. That meal would have been like $60-80 in Seattle
Wanting affordable meals
- At the waitstaffsâ expense
Thatâs why you think other countries are overpriced, theyâre paying their staff
A decent wage, what a concept! Ring ring USA ($7.25 an hour, I ask youâŠ).
Would be interesting to see grocery store/wholesale pricing too as that should be a factor too.
Well, here where I live, McDonalds IS the weird overpriced restaurant.
Judging by your instance thatâs wishful thinking⊠Not saying maccas isnt garbage but it certainly isnt exotic or unusual here in Germany. I give you the overpriced part though, they went right along with the covid greed pricing.
I knew they call McDonaldâs âMaccasâ in Australia, but I didnât know they did so in Germany too.
Is not McDonald weird overpriced restaurant?
The overpriced part is a (relatively) recent development, but point taken
I feel like charging for the garbage McDonaldâs produced even before the price gouging was overpriced.
McDonalds is a real estate company not a burger joint. Their burgers are good enough only to maintain the value of the brand and the land
Iâd go to the local places and mcdonalds. I want to know what they taste like in a country with actual food standards.
Survey says: the same.
McDonalds tastes the same everywhere. Which is why itâs the go to home food for people who travel.
Just like Panda Garden is for Asian people at airports lol. Itâs American food thatâs close enough to what theyâd actually prefer.
Yes McDonaldâs tastes the same but the menu can change wildly, with a definite sway towards local tastes for menu item variations.
McDonaldâs seemed way different to me while I was in England. The burgerâs actually seemed to have seasoning on them (despite being in England), they had rotating âTasteâs of Americaâ (called something like that) menus that featured interesting variants that I never saw over here. I think there was a really good one with a sour dough bun.
