This thread is McChicken approved.

Large fry? Lol, more like fat thigh, amirite?

>>20378304
Lol, the small side of fries at Lenny's Burgers of Glendale AZ is twice as big as the "large" fries at the clown-toilet. And a large side of Lenny's excellent home style fries with free choice of sauce is only $4.19, a dollar cheaper than clown-toilet, and it's three times bigger.
So come on down to Lenny's retro diner on Glendale Ave, Phoenix Arizona and enjoy huge delicious portions of your favourite burgers, hotdogs, shakes and fries, and pay far LESS than the greedy toilet clown is charging.

Now that air fryers are a thing frozen fries are actually good

this looks more like that High Guardian Spice DEI cartoon than anime

i spent $27 at whataburger but work paid for it. bitch even forgot my fries.

>>20378553
You will buy the WCDONALD'S SAUCE

I got a Greek place nearby that makes fantastic fries. McDonalds might be top-tier among fast food (when fresh, anyway), but they don't hold a candle to real fries. Try a few local places, you might be surprised.

therefore its not anime and its soulless trash

Uh, sir... I beg to differ. THIS is a large fry. What you have posted is considered a small fry. A small fry is two sizes smaller than a large fry, where the order would go small fry, medium fry, then large fry.

>>20378971
>roast beef is $10.72/lb
God damn I'm glad I don't life in california.

Doesn't even make sense. Potato prices are only up $0.56 US compared to 6 years ago. But a large is now the same amount as a small. Someone needs to send this shit to corporate; something ain't right. Or better yet, post it on X and tag Elon. That man is how you strike fear into ESG/DEI/LGBTLMNOP assholes trying to milk you before the Fed plans their final curtain draw on the economy.

>>20379001
That's not how the market works. The price is set to maximize profit. If it's too high sales go down, if it's too low they're leaving money on the table.
People still buy it at the high price so it's not too high yet.

>>20378447
What's not to understand? Kids like anime -> include anime with our food.

>>20379029
As an unfortunate native of commiefornia, I will thusly inform you that people are tapped out and will NOT buy as prices this high anymore. We're done. If you have enough money to eat out, you're eating at Five Guys or an even more boushy place that served 3-5 course meals.

But that price was from NJ anon...

>>20378447
They're trying to ride the viral success of that advertisement by their Japanese subsidiary.

>>20379001
Potatoes aren't the only part of the equation. The price of cooking oil, electricity and labor have increased drastically. Then there are also ancillary costs like transportation, insurance, etc. that have also gone up.

>>20379495
NJ is almost as bad it just doesn't get the same attention as California because it's smaller.

Is "the sauce" an allegory for the mRNA "vaccine"?

>>20378670
yes by making the food more expensive through a variety of government policies cooked up by people who aren't citizen's of the country, they are trying to help us not die? it's totally not a massive dehumanist campaign to kill as many people as possible directed by demons masquerading as machine elves sending satan's message to elites who regularly take psychedelics and micro-dose as well to keep those channels of communication open with the devil.

Someone told me once that if McDonald's completely canceled all their marketing the standard burger menu prices could be cut by 40%.

Is this true? Is 40% of the price just going to kikes to make shitty ads with negroes and sponsoring women's sports teams?

>>20379001
Bill Gates owns the farms that mcdonalds uses for their fries. Got to pay for that new mansion, bro.

>>20378325
>no sauce lasts forever
>except sweet and sour, ignore that one

>>20379947
Probably true. Funny thing is any sales lost by the lack of marketing would be made up for by the increase of business due to better prices.

I used to only go for the $3 breakfast combo. Now that that's gone I have zero reason to go even though I live half a block from a McDonalds. I just have no reason to ever get fast food anymore now that it's not even cheap. That was literally the only reason I got it before.

That looks like soggy nastiness. Now matter now much fresh soggy nastiness it is it can never be reasonably priced, unless it's negative, they pay you to take that shit off their hands and its a loss layer, to get one in the door in the desparate hope that they buy more shit.

>>20379519
given the minimum wage for burger flippers raised to $20 per hour in California this isn't absurd

>>20381511
given they replaced half their workers with kiosks and automated processes, this is a cope

>>20381511
Oh yes, of course lets blame giving workers a living wage for higher prices instead of corporate greed. Far rightists and their talking points never change.

>>20378645
Basically nobody makes their own fries anymore. You can get par cooked fries in a bag basically the same price as wholesale potatoes and it saves your prep cooks hours upon hours of doing it themselves. Come service time all you need to do is dunk em in the fryer for a couple minutes. The only quality difference comes from the variety of potato (which US foods, Grasmick, Sysco and Co will not disclose or they'll just lie and say it's russet), the cooking time and medium (the good places I worked at used beef tallow) and whatever they do after the fact. This was the case for every restaurant I worked at before I left the industry. I've worked as a sous/KM in 5 different places in my city, including the top rated restaurant and none of them deviated from the bagged fries. It simply takes too much time when you're doing 300 covers a night. Maybe it's just where I happen to live, maybe it's the difference between a place that isn't looking to impress and one that is. Either way I'm happy for you anon, a perfect french fry is one of life's simplest pleasures and you seem to have found it.

>>20381675
I worked in an award-winning non-chain diner that hand cut all of their french fries.
that's the only place I'm aware of that makes real french fries.

>>20379098
>>20379108
>>20379117
だれ hurt you sweetie

>>20381694
How many covers would you guys do during a busy service? I did the Heston Blumenthal recipe and it would have cost my last place like 5$ per serving if we had the jobbers do it and double that if me or the chef had to prep during the rush because the jobbers can't count.

>>20378670
>I can afford food, I am perfectly safe from mass starvation.

>>20378980
It says large right on it.

>>20379029
McDonalds has completely killed their mass appeal meaning the only customers they will ever have are the ones they still have from the 90s; and are effectively causing their own death spiral.

I've heard of US foods, and Sysco. I think US foods mostly does prisons and schools and Sysco is what it is but what is Grasmick?

>>20381995
congrats on being a fat loser, I guess

>>20382026

>>20381989
... looked it up myself and no wonder I've never heard of Grasmick, it's Idaho area. It makes sense to have not heard of them in the US extremities such as the north east.

>>20382028
With fried chicken then it would be fat fat winner winner chicken dinner with spuds

Fat Winner Dragon sounds like a local Chinese joint

>>20381989
I thought it was another national business but I guess not. US foods and SYSCO were on the lower end of the food chain. Most of the nicer places in my neck of the woods use Grasmick or Charlie's and different local offices for beef and fish. For some reason nobody seems to care about the quality of their chickens or pork.

>>20378304
Based minimum wage increases and bidenflation

>>20382050
Yeah from the bit of research that I've done, Grasmick does produce in Idaho and some surrounding areas.

>buying fast food unless it's at least 50% off
It's like people hate money.

>>20382076
It's wise to check dates on stuff, a lot of times those 50% off items are like 6 months or more out of date and I've seen these people like from sloans, red apple, those owned by red apple and owned by them actually change dates on meat and chicken and who knows what else and reshelve it.

>>20382076
>buying fast food at all
It's like people are fat and uneducated

>>20382114
That's full of shit, those weirdos have some complex and multiply it with each other to get government money, it's fucking stupid. How about straight white guys get together and march or try to withhold taxes, we'd all get locked down in guantanamo as subversives.

What do you expect trafficking illegals to and fro, do you want the magic machine?

>>20382113
Well you should get a nice variety of foods from the garbage bags you pick up so why are you complaining?

>>20378326
they will buy it, and they will spread its brand through social media, under guise of mocking, like the good consumer they are.

>>20382129
Nah I'm the guy making sure the illegals don't fuck up when we build highways so it's 12 hour shifts supervising them. I'm just a contractor.

>>20382134
its garbage because it's not nice

>>20382151
Yeah but remember those leavelets that were thrown over the border telling prospecting illegals how to get across the border for food, water, and shelter.

Biden wants an open door policy to benefit the democrat party and to get voters and to change the congressional redistricting, in the end maybe to change the congress and supreme court.

>>20382164
It's not my fault TXDOT hires contractors that don't do background checks. I'm just the guy with the clipboard.

>>20382172
... it's already started, just look into California what a jewel.

It's pretty stupid that every other country on the planet is allowed to protect it's borders, here it's in the Consitution but for some reason our so called president biden doesn't do it. He's getting paid off by some group or consortium, just look at his kid hunter who looks like a gangster like his rat father.

>>20382188
I have a buddy that works border patrol around san diego and he keeps posting snaps of hundreds of people crossing every single day just on his area that's 1/5 of their border. So they're averaging about 2000 people a day on the weekends in socal.

>>20382197
Your buddy sounds like a real big fag.

>>20382199
He's just doing his job trying to keep cartel and criminals out

>>20378447
They get a budget and have to spend it no matter how stupid, otherwise they wont get it the next fiscal year. Been there done that, that's the way of it in big companies like that.

>>20378980
Look at those hands and nails, do you want those near your fries, let alone burgers?

>>20379519
>The price of cooking oil, electricity and labor have increased drastically.

I mean yeah, this is it, plus, other items have increased in price. Beef and produce is way up. Consumers tolerate cheap items increasing in price more than they tolerate already expensive. If the $1 fries go to $1.75 for the same amount, that's way easier for a customer to deal with than a $6.50 burger going to $7.25. The fast food restaurant would rather only raise the burger price by 25 cents, and then double the cost of fries, rather than raise the cost of the burger, even IF it's the ingredients for the burger that have gone up more than the fries.

Same reason why with the recent grocery inflation it's potato chips and soda and some of the cheapest to produce mass produced food that has gone up the most while ground beef and chicken prices really actually haven't changed a whole lot

>>20379177
no, why would anyone in their right mind want to?

Just remember that Tuesday is soylent green wafer day.

why do you think stuff even gets discounted? i go to the discount grocery store and buy shit that's like six months out of date on a regular basis

also why would a grocery store reshelve produce like that? you can visually tell how old meat is. you can't just slap a new date on meat and put it next to fresher meat and expect people not to notice

not only that but what would the motivation be? they are literally in the business of selling perishable goods, do you think they get in trouble for throwing stuff away? not only that but they straight up get tax breaks for giving expired food to shelters and stuff so they dont even have to throw it away

those questions weren't rhetorical, i expect you to answer them

>>20381404
>2 McDoubles for $4.00, which doesn't use up a deal
>free medium fries because it's Friday
~$4.50 with tax for ~1,200 calories worth of slop. It's the only thing that makes me go there for a cheat meal. If the app isn't installed on my phone (I uninstall it periodically) I will simply not go there.

They can ask whatever price they want. What truly baffles me is how or why anyone goes there. People are so bad with money that I'm starting to appreciate the whole goyim thing.

>>20382087
It's fast food not groceries. They have deals to draw you in and buy more stuff since you're already there, basic marketing. It's not like selling discounted products because they're about to expire. Let's say you go there to get 2 big macs for the price of one, but then you decide you want fries, a drink and maybe some nuggets as well. Now they've turned a profit by discounting an item.

We need to give up all of our civil liberties and put minorities in concentration camps so my tendies are cheaper. I don't care if my neighbors keep disappearing, I want fries to cost a dollar.

Billions of nuggies must fry.

In-N-Out paid their employees more than other places without being forced to and offered similar food at similar prices. Irrespective of that fast food has largely been a ripoff since, at the latest, the mid 2010s when employees were still getting paid jack shit.
