McDonald's to introduce $5 meal deal following customer complaints
that the fast food restaurant has grown too expensive, with Big Mac
meal costing up to $19

. . .

NINETEEN bucks for a Big Mac Meal ???

Prob in Cal, with the ridiculous minimum-wage crap.

Still, all the big outlets are reputed to have
suffered major inflation post-Covid.

I quit going to those places a long time ago -
mostly because the food was ever-smaller
ever-more-burnt CRAP. Then they started
adulterating even their chicken nuggets
to save a few pennies. FORGET IT. They had
their niche, had their time, and BLEW IT.

A few chains still deliver an "OK" experience.
Frankly you're best off with KFC. As for burgers
and fries ... try some local joint instead of
a chain.
