      Yeah, I can get an actual pub burger for 3-5 more than a quarter pounder… and I don’t hate myself after it? Why should I go to McDonald’s?

        I’ve been asking myself the same question lately. If Maccas is nearly the same price as an actually good burger, why not just get the good burger?

          Exactly this. It was “fast food” where you didn’t expect greatness because it was cheap. Now it’s not at all cheap and crap anyway.

              Near me it’s none of the above, teenagers arent winning any races and I dont expect them to. $15 minimum for a meal, and $30 for my partner and I, so fuck it, might as well go to the local burger joint where it’s $36, feeds us both ,and I get a blue cheese and bacon burger for my trouble.

                That’s the way nowadays… good gravy I remember scoffing at a $10 burger… now finding one that cheap is like a unicorn!

      I have never understood people’s weird obsession with going to Macca’s at the end of a night out, instead of the obviously better choice of literally any local kebab shop run by whoever

        Oh God in my younger years ( a long long time ago ) after a nightclub in North West England I would hit the kebab shop and my mates would go for KFC. To this day I don’t bother with that greasy stuff unless it’s bought for me say at work or similar.
