[@Erick726]

"Do people just not care about McDonald's anymore?" This is the main reason. McDonald's has gotten stingier with its sauces and prices have gone insane after covid. It's not that it costs more to run the business it's pure corporate greed and artificial inflation. I remember just a few years back I could order Mcnuggets and they'd line the bottom with packs of BBQ sauce. I love their food but it just isn't worth what they're charging these days. I might as well go to Domino's. They're the same prices they've always been and you get a large pizza at the cost of one Big Mac. Wages aren't going up so where do these businesses get off raising prices?

[@SonicBoom224-iz7lp]

I normally choose KFC's burger even though they're more known for their fried chicken. The burger is actually delicious and the deals are crazy on KFC from at least where I live. I'd say KFC and Mc Donald's are both trying to get one or another thing from each other so that it's like, "Oh well KFC is good but doesn't Mc Donald's have everything they do and more?". That's why they have secret ingredients so they live out. But Mc Donald's burgers are expensive, at least the actually good ones. But KFC would give you so much in a low price deal.

[@RachelA147]

I'm almost certain that McDonald's raising their prices to 2x the original price preemptive to actual inflation rates is the reason customers are pissed 😡. A $1 item is now $2.50, and a meal used to be between $5-7 and now meals are $10 or more! They set the bar on inflated pricing, and other restaurants followed suit. Yet, McDonald's in my area charges more for their items than any other fast food chain years later. I'm actually angry that the inflation rates are said to be around 3% when soda used to be $3 for a 12 pack of cans, and now it's $9 for a 12 pack of cans. The soda industry inflated their prices in lockstep with McDonald's. Corporate food chain restaurants are so predatory and they don't try to hide it or justify it. I assume they believe in the phrase, "all's fair in love and war"....in their case it would be "all's fair in profit and capitalism"

[@youtubesucks1821]

That is totally fair for them to do that as it is THEIR business, nothing wrong with it. I fully support McDonald's and soda companies raising their prices to ridiculous degrees, I hope they keep rising. Just take the nudge these companies are giving you. Stop eating McDonald's and stop drinking pop. You should only really be drinking water anyway. And if you want a burger so bad, go to the local Safeway and you can spend $6 on a bag of 10 freezer burgers that are 91% lean. These burgers don't produce much grease and since they're frozen, will last you a long while.

At least for me, it was all just confusing. I remember seeing the WcDonald branding and thinking: "That's weird, when did they start doing that and for what?". None of the employees even mention it either, no "would you like to try/add WcDonald sauce, nothing". I looked up WcDonald and saw that they had some kind of manga/anime tie-in, but again, I had no interest in going any deeper, shrugged it off, and moved on.

[@Igod9114]

[@kaleoy7584]

I work at McDonald's in Hawaii, and it is barely ordered. My suspicion is that customers are more than likely not willing to try it because these promotions are for a limited time only and/or seasonal items, are getting tired of liking something, that one cannot try all year round no matter how good it is.

[@stronensycharte64]

this is literally me, i go to taco bell wanting my usual and every fucking time they change the menu like every 2 months at this point and its infuriating

[@ghostspooky4974]

The WcDonalds joke is cute if you're in on it, but the biggest mistake is expecting the novelty alone to get hype. The Grimace shake was huge not just because it was funny and brought back a fan character, but because it also had a unique menu item. The celebrity meals are very boring since it's just regular food items with their choice of toppings, but I'm aware to a lot of people that matters. This is just a sauce in an event that's supposed to celebrate and poke fun at how McDonalds is portrayed in Japanese media and they took the cheap and cowardly route out of it. The teritama burger is huge in Japan and could easily have been an item here for it, it's a burger with a fried egg on the patty, and having that along with the sauce would have gotten a lot more attention.

[@goreweeb4566]

It honestly feels like America is extremely lazy or likes to play it safe with fast food items tbh. I guess it would also be a hassle for the employees to deal with bringing out eggs for lunch and dinner as well. But Taco Bell may be the only place that likes to brand out when it comes to items.

[@feykingjulian]

💯 agree. it could have been a fun promo, i like the reference, but you're right that they didn't really... do anything with it. also based on comments i'm reading they may have over estimated how many people would get the joke. and above all that, people just DON'T want to waste their money at overpeiced fast food joints anymore!

They didn't base it on any good or famous manga. They would have done better with a cowboy bebop toy for the happy meal, and a cup for the soda that matches. The branding looks like the burger king ads from the 90's with the cartoon kids, and doesn't even resemble Japanese anime. They were trying to capitalize on manga culture and threw a dart blindfolded hoping they would hit some interested kids, and got nothing back because most people who have been to Japan know the McDonalds there is way better, and people who know anime know that this is not a nod, its a disgrace.

This. As Report of the Week said, no originality too. To be fair, the purple shake was original. Besides that, it's basically repackaging the current menu with celebrities that no one asked for.

[@rushyrulz]

Gone are the days where people receive an incorrect order and then go back to or contact the store to get a correction. Instead, I think more and more people are eating the loss and compartmentalizing the restaurant into a category of being unreliable, and not worth going back to. This is the case with McDonalds for me. Their order accuracy has plummeted over the last few years, where items will be lower in quality, incorrect, or just straight up missing. Because of this, I no longer go to or care about anything McDonalds does. That's the reason for me why I haven't been interested in this promotion.

Then about a year later, that one started messing up our order. The burger king up the street from us, had 1 staff in the whole building trying to take every one's orders. The one down the street from us was fully staff, but all we hear is yelling and fighting from the staff. Crazy!

It's a fast food restaurant at the end of the day so I'm never expecting good service but when I wait 15 minutes for the slop and then get an F u on the way out the door vs a place like Chic Fil A where I wait 5 minutes and they give me a gift card for free food why on Earth would I ever choose the former.

McDonald’s has been too busy sniffing their own farts, that’s the problem. During the pandemic they saw astronomical record profits, and as any large corporation does, they want to keep that momentum in sales, so they’ve been gradually raising their prices. They’re forgetting that at the end of the day, they’re a fast food place. Not a fancy restaurant. No one is using McDonald’s as a status item. So when they try quirky marketing, it doesn’t stick. The fact that a Big Mac meal is $13 now is ridiculous, I’m just not gonna pay for it, and that’s on top of them making their food items SMALLER gradually. A Big Mac used to BE a BIG Mac, now it’s a couple slim beef wafers and all bun.

They handled it as can be seen from 2022 8.5% high to the end of 2023 3.1% low. These corporations never lowered their prices to consumers when their supply chain and material costs lowered.

Coincidentally, we too had a friend in the hospital. She also requested a fish sandwich (without tartar sauce). Total cost including tax was $5.60. The sandwich was so small, they could almost fit two in the box. You're lucky you got a half slice of "cheese", ours was like one third of a slice.They should rename it the filet o fish slider.

Filet o fish have had only a half piece of cheese for at least the past 29 years

To get good value these days you have to use the apps. I can buy two quarter pounders for like $5-6 on the app. I don't because they aren't good but I could.

[@AngelaJonesReviews]

The money grabs by these fast food places is just pathetic.

Mcdonalds has gotten too expensive. You can get a better burger for the same price now.

[@expert244]

Why? Everyone is broke! Cant afford $87 fast food!!!

[@MeAF111]

I'm tired of limited time promotions altogether. I don't want to try a product, like it, then never be able to get it again. I don't even bother anymore.

[@joshzheng7365]

U really want the manbo sauce back

[@MeAF111]

@joshzheng7365 Ha! I didn't try it. I lived in DC for 20 years, so while I was curious about McD's spin on Mambo sauce, I didn't bother trying it out when i can get authentic mambo sauce at Target. What I REALLY want is for them to come back with the Szechuan sauce. But even then, Jack In The Box has something similar all the time.

[@TheBlackDeath3]

That, or in it's in stock for all of twelve hours and you never get to try it at all (looking at you, Arby's).

[@keithbream3517]

For 2 people at McDonald's the other week, I spent $17.79. I spend half of that at Taco Bell for the same amount of food. McDonald's was in their prime during the Early 2000's "Dollar Menu" Years. That was a major success with the public, but a major failure internally due to all of the items on that menu being "Loss Leaders". As soon as they removed the Dollar Menu, interest went down. Also, unlike Taco Bell, McDonald's doesn't have a frequent innovation schedule. All of their new items prove to be relatively boring.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

It was probably much better back when they first opened in like the 70's and still used all real beef and fried in rendered beef fat.

[@chrissyellem7397]

Man where do live?! I have spent $25-30 for two people at Taco Bell in the last few months. I finally said no more. I won't support this corporate greed anymore. I worked there when burritos were 69 cents. I've had it.

[@DJKinney]

But how much will we all have to pay for your colorectal cancer when you get diagnosed after never eating an unprocessed food?

[@Arc_Viper]

Seriously? McDonalds: I got a large fry, a cheeseburger, and a 6 piece nugget for 3.32 including rewards and promotions Taco bell: No promotions/offers ever. $11.75 for 1 chalupa and 2 tacos.

[@steveedsinger8714]

It's going to be a new thing now. The rich kids go to McDonald's parking lot and hang out. You get it rich kids. Only if you want to be seen. 😎

[@Shiftarus]

I think the name "WcDonalds" sauce is terrible, it doesn't sound like food

[@glennbeadshaw727]

When I'm busy searching through my crystal ball I see the collapse of McDonald's because of their utter failure to follow their tried and tested menu and price allocation

[@michael931]

I don't think so. Too many stupid and or rich people eager to get rid of their money.

McDonalds looks at Costco food court and concludes the solution is more price hikes

I agree, McDonald's will go out of business eventually. Plenty of titans have already fallen

[@Colby_00]

My Philly cheesesteak restaurants still give out free sauces and sides. We also never charge for toppings like every other restaurant does today. .20 for lettuce and tomato?? Or charging for mayo when it’s not even real hellmans. The audacity.

[@hanniballecter4283]

They're even charging $0.10 for onion now.

[@Colby_00]

@@hanniballecter4283 an absolute travesty

[@saltycrow]

20 cent for lettuce & tomato. You’re lucky. The Taco Bell in my area (northeast US), charges 60 cent to add tomato to my steak quesadilla and if you open it up and look, you’re lucky… lucky to see 5 little pieces of cubed tomato. And that’s IF they remember to add them in the first place and heaven forbid you point out their error. Then you gotta deal with a hormone driven, pimply faced teen, who passive aggressively, “fixes” your order by adding a whole handfull of tomatoes smack dab in the center of the quesadilla so big it makes a tomato lump in the center of the quesadilla. I mean… come on. No need to be a jerk cause YOU screwed up. It’s not like I threw a fit at all. Just pointing out, I ordered tomatoes which is an upcharge I gladly pay as I love tomatoes especially in a stk quesadilla, so good. I pay that up charge and I expect some tomatoes. Sometimes, someone isn’t reading the order or hearing the ‘add tomatoes’ bit cause sometimes they aren’t on there at all. Other times you get 3-5 wee tiny bits. As to the McDonald’s in my area, my biggest issue is price increases, and undercooked food. Nothing is worse than biting into a filet o fish that’s still frozen in the center. Or a big mac that’s sat so long the edges of the roll are hard to bite through and is crumbly at the same time. How is that even possible. I suspect reheating via microwave. Ughhh🤢

[@Sniperboy5551]

Who puts mayo on a philly cheesesteak? Hopefully they only use it for fries, anything else is cursed.

[@Sniperboy5551]

@saltycrow I’m a fan of the Mexican Pizza and taco supreme, but only one TB in my area (within like 20-30mi) actually gives you a lot of tomatoes. I’m lucky to get one tomato per slice on my Mexican Pizza, but I know what to expect there. I’d never pay extra for tomato.

[@martx2058]

For a second, I thought you changed the aspect ratio, but your framing is just really good here. Neat!

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Mcdonalld's and such fast food joints are just too expensive for what they are and those other deals with famous celebrities repackaged items is a brain-dead pointless concept.
