  • Now that fast food restaurants are losing customers. They are in a race to the bottom to offer the best value meal once again to try and get customers back in the store. At the same time they're trying to eliminate jobs using AI and squeeze as much profit as possible. Meanwhile we just had a job report that smashed all expectations, but simultaneously seeing numerous accounts of how many of these jobs are fake.

      You think food prices are crazy. The rent where I live is insane. Everything within 50 miles of my job starts at $2k a month for a studio. If you stay past the lease you are going to pay $200 minimum more a month. Also renters insurance is required and if you don't buy the right one they will add it to your rent.

When price goes up like this it should be more vegetables and more pure meat. They are actually trying to kill their customers. And delivery from McDonalds to your door, the transport is 78% on top of the insane high price for the meal.

    Last time I went to McDonald’s they didn’t even have a person at the register. I stood at the register for minutes before someone came to register. They were only wanting orders from their app or the stupid kiosk order thing they have. I wanted to make a verbal order and pay cash and it was like they saw an alien.

      Darn right! Michael Bordenaro and his Dad from northern Illinois must really be suffering from the food prices there! Min wage in Illinois is $14 an hour and I’m from the next state up where min wage is shockingly enough still $7.25 ! That is a stark difference and even as a conservative Christian myself, I’m certainly not against people earning a living wage but think these higher min wage laws aren’t necessarily going to solve the problem! I took college credit accounting classes back in high school when I was 15 to 18 years old 7 to 10 years ago, and I know in accounting terms that a higher min wage means employees are more expensive! Increasing labor costs will increase costs overall (aka inflation)! It’s like trying to print your own money by asking for a raise in your state min wage, which Illinois will have another one to $15/hr next year in 2025 ! Already at Arby’s across from where I work at McDonald’s a Greek gyro meal is $9.29 and a Big Mac Large Meal at the McDonald’s I work at costs only 10 cents more; it’s expensive enough here, I agree! I’d love to see how much you pay for your Big Mac Meal in CA Mike! I bet it’ll be too expensive with CA’s $20 min wage for fast food! That’s worse than Illinois where you’re from where Arby’s is over $10 for any meal to feed an adult! How the heck do you have Mission BBQ over there Mike where you’re from? We have Mission BBQ in town just down the highway from where I live in the biggest city in my corner of the next state up from you, and it is almost as expensive, but not quite! It is around $15 for enough barbecue food for one adult, they play the national anthem at noon, and anyone who participates and sings along gets a free chocolate brownie for dessert! So amazing!

    Most of the employees were H1B visas from India. I was in charge on putting up job postings but it was rigged as they never intended to hire American citizens. The job posting was merely a formality/prerequisite so that the company could claim to the government that they needed to bring in somebody on an H1B visa since there were “no qualified candidates” in this country (they never bothered to look at resumes from American citizens).

I'm not a fan of the apps and don't use them. Last night, my wife and I ate at Wendy's while on the run. The cost was $10 for two double stacks and a medium fry. Yes, split an order or fry's. It's ok. Really. In today's world, that's a great value. And the food and service were very good. We take our own 66 cent diet Pepsi from home.

I went into a McD's last month and there was no way to pay. Everything was broken. They would never ever think to put up a sign informing you of these kinds of things: you don't find out until you put your order into the one working kiosk that the debit reader doesn't work. Because it's 2024, and nothing works anymore. Least of all society.

    Something people are not accounting for is the longterm effect that just a couple years of this will have on the job market and unemployment in the not-so-distant future.
    Fast food jobs are the epitome of starter jobs for a significant portion of the working class.
    This effectively removes the first few bottom rungs in the ladder of success for hundreds of thousands of people for several years to come.
    That's hundreds of thousands of people either depending on their parents or government to support them AND years of lost work/business mgmt experience.

      it's so screwed up because the rent will always be first priority with everything else being lower on the list of priorities.
      In the end the ONE thing we all seem to be shorting ourselves on is food and gas.

      That is why one of the first signs of the imminent depression is the collapse of fast food.

Lots of the roles "went in another direction" meaning they decided not to fill it. I was out of work 9 months, getting ghosted constantly after the first or second interview.

    The value meals are another avenue for shrinkflation. They're going to make these special menu items microscopic. Then they'll come back and say "We hear you, people love this. We'll keep it!" And shrink menu items across the board. Then later they'll raise prices.
