What am I supposed to be buying to treat myself once in a while if I can’t afford to go to a proper restaurant? Or are you suggesting there are cheaper burgers than McDonald’s shit?
No judgement for choosing to eat fast food, but in my experience/area, yes there are cheaper options. Fast food prices over the past 10 years have leap-frogged local small business prices while still being much lower quality. I’d look around at your local joints and see if it’s the same as my area
McDonald’s costs just as much as a proper restaurant now. Fast food used to be cheap, which is how they got away with being trash. Now it’s actually more expensive than some much better quality fast casual options out there, but is still shit
The Ronald McDonald house charity does the things our tax dollars should be going to. Putting a for profit company between the public and social services is just free advertising and good will for the company.
That’s not how point-of-sale donations work. Feel free to donate if it’s a charity you agree with. The business gets no benefit other than the positive association of the charity.
I dunno’, if you’re buying McDonald’s overpriced flavorsponge products, you can’t be that needy. (not that McD’s deserves the round up what so ever)
Such a stupid take.

I don’t eat it daily. My local joints are selling proper burgers with real meat and they cost twice as much.
tbf if it’s US-sourced it’s still probably barely fit for human consumption
The local bodegas (deli/convenience store) do a burger and fries for like $10. I don’t eat McDonald’s but that seems pretty close in price.
My local Banh Mi place gives you a big ol’ sammich for under $10, and it’s a fucking masterpiece of delish.
Something actually good?
rofl a proper restaurant is the same fucking price depending on where you live, but you go pay for those flavored sponges.
Fucking pathetic losers sypporting megacorps, holy fuck ya’ll are beyond a joke.

It’s definitely regional. McDonald’s is about half the price of a restaurant burger where I’m at.
To be fair, the Ronald McDonald House is a fairly good charity, at least in my opinion. They were very helpful when my newborn son was in the NICU.

Not to defend McDonalds but RMH is one of the best charities out there.
You should look them up; the Ronald McDonald House is the one thing that McDonald’s does correctly. They are worth it.

The Ronald McDonald house definitely deserves money

Every charity is evidence of where capitalism has failed us, and how it needs fixed.
Don’t forget a tax break for the company that’s supposedly donating. They’re ‘donating’ our money and taking it back out of taxes.
That’s not how point-of-sale donations work. Feel free to donate if it’s a charity you agree with. The business gets no benefit other than the positive association of the charity.
