McDonald’s is so expensive now that if my family is going to eat out there are lots of better options at the same price point.

That’s why people came to you McDonald’s, cheap food.

A combo costs $13 here in Ohio, for that price I could go get a burrito from chipotle, or a bowl from bibibop, or a sub from Jersey mikes, or a hundred other better options.

If I want something cheaper I can go to Taco Bell and get a $5 box.

So at the price point I can get better food, there’s also equally quality food at lower price points, why does anyone still go to McDonald’s

Cheap food, served fast. It's no longer fast it's no longer cheap, and it's become only borderline edible.

Hasn't been cheap for a long time. At least here in EU. Most fast food is two to ten times more expensive than cooking. Doesn't even matter much what you cook, as long as it's not vast amounts of truffles etc..

The thing is, fewer ppl can afford it every year. Especially families, which is McDonakds primary customer group.
