    The price difference between fast food and restaurant to go has shrunk too much to make sense

    The McDonald’s app/rewards program is one of the worst available that I’ve seen for fast food. When I used it, I earned points and had nothing worth spending them on. The deals often exclude their most popular items. The app is also extremely buggy and needed to be reinstalled multiple times.

    Pretty much zero incentive to go.

      It’s only “fast” now. If you need to get something quick, it’ll do, but you’re paying far more than you should for the quality you’re getting.

      The hubris of these guys to raise prices as high as they did and to keep it there is for the type of food they produce is silly.

        It is not fast near me. Sticker shock, poorly made food and extremely slow service makes it easy to say no.

        You can also get fast food much cheaper at a grocery store. A fresh rotisserie chicken, potato wedges, a nice salad. I’d much rather eat that than McDonald’s!
