A single McDonald’s hash brown is now 3.09? We use to be a proper country.

[Mike Nasty]

why do people on here love to get on their high horse about NOT eating fast food? I mean who gives a fukk? how does this contribute to this discussion?

and then act like Chick-fil-A and Canes ain't the same deep fried bullshyt.

It’s an evil world we live in

I am thoroughly entertained and disturbed, all at once, at how effortlessly the Hash Brown Index just got created as a measure of "proper country" status.


Godspeed, citizens.

I shyt you not there is a hash brown shortage. I tried to buy a pack of them from the supermarket and they were sold out. A pack of 12 is like 5 dollars.

I used to buy them at trader joes til they got hard to find. Went to wal mart yesterday and they had a big pack for around $3, funny enough

I remember there was a time where people would call Five Guys overpriced and bigged up McDonalds and Burger King over them due to convenience.

Nowadays, without apps, Five Guys isn't even much more expensive than them and Five Guys outdoes themself in the quality department compared to regular fast food places which either do the bare minimum or leave you with cold fries and lukewarm burgers.

I'm in NY, that shyt is 1.89.

They trying to make money back they think they lost from 2020

They'll jack up the price as long as people keep paying.

Some things I ain't paying for anymore. I don't buy new games, I don't buy name brand food items, and I only buy clothes on sale and after my current gear has been compromised

Yup. It's feeling like 2008 all over again.

They are calling it Greedflation. Greedy ass companies squeezing consumers.

That's all this egg shyt is...watch the crazy profits when it's time to report.

Bu bu bu bird flu! Meanwhile profits break new highs.

I agree. If people compare five guys price to other burger joints, u gotta compare it to compaeable food items. U cant compare a five guys meal to a wendys $5 biggie bag

Compare a 5 guys bacon cheeseburger (which has 2 burger patties ) a small fries (they give u more fries in a small than other places large fries and a large dring to a wendys double baconator meal biggie sized, and theyre about the same price

I one thing I noticed about McDonald's is some stores are more expensive than others.


Today I paid 9 bucks for the two burgers with fries & drink combo whereas another store it cost 10 bucks

This could be a test to see if we're paying attention before a full roll out...

Not making as much or more money as usual=no growth to show investors. They need to show in each quarterly report that they're making more money.

That pressure to deliver to the shareholders incentivizes them to do shyt like layoff workers and Jack up prices.

These restaurants and grocery stores made record profits during COVID. People would wait for their unemployment to hit and go straight to the grocery store, liquor store, and McDonald's in that order.

The reason they hiked the prices is flat out greed. They wanna continue making the same record profits they did during COVID
