Which of these changes are you most excited for?

[chrissyellem]

My biggest issue is I am NEVER going to pay $16 for a Big Mac fast food meal. McDonald's can do all these stupid challenges and changes but they have no hand on my wallet anymore. I feel like they don't care about us who have been supporting them for 50 plus years.

[Wiykat]

Not just overpriced but shrinking drastically, the regular patties are now paper thin and half the size of the bun, we don't need more sauce on the big mac we need them to put the burger back, as it may as well be a salad sandwich at this point.

My biggest problem with McDonalds is that it now costs 17 dollars for a meal. I don't care how much they improve the quality, because that just translates into even higher prices. Also, much of their quality issues are due to the employees letting the food sit under heat lamps for hours instead of throwing it out. I can cook fresh food at home for much cheaper than a McExpensive Meal.

[davidputterman]

McD's missed the biggest thing to portion size of their burgers has increasingly got smaller over the years but the prices have increased.

[alpha-]

Addressing every problem except for it being so overpriced that I may as well go to a real restaurant.

[McLVINNN]

In other news... They also announced that they will never fix the ice cream machine.

[mattkazmir]

The biggest changes coming this year is smaller burgers for more money 🤑 a McDouble will cost 4$ a mcchicken 3.50 a 10 piece nugget will cost 8.49 wow smaller everything and they’ll charge more wow amazing 🤩

[Lillith]

Biggest problem with Mcdonalds along with every other fast food chain is it costs more than double what it did 3 years ago and the quality has dropped. Regardless of what changes they make, it is still a fast food meal that now costs $15+ for one. At this point, I dont care if EVERY chain restaurant closes tomorrrow. If the prices and poor quality stay high, that could actually happen. The federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour with the possibility of it changing to $10.50 an hour, still not enough to buy 1 fast food meal.

There is no way this video hasn’t been sponsored by Mc Donalds. Who in their right mind would say “If you haven’t tried McDonald’s, this is a good year to start”

[mrtunapie]

You didnt mention that due to inflation, the cost of a BigMac, large fries and a drink has gone up to a whopping $16.00. For a few more bucks, you can go to a nice up-scale restaurant and get a quality burger. In light of that, they damn well better do some improvements.

[richardbidinger]

I usually don't have a problem with the buns being soggy, I have a problem with them that they are dry and stale.

[princegroove]

The biggest issue are the cold and soggy fries that they apparently don’t mind serving at the drive thru lane.

[chromasux]

It doesn't really matter now what they change to try and stay relevant to me. I've got at least 3 local places where I can get a totally fresh burger, locally sourced, not engineered, made to order with care with handcut fries from normal potatoes for same or less than a Big Mac meal. And these folks live, work and spend their money in my area as well instead of going to a corporate pocket.

[StevenHenderson-me]

The problem isn’t the bun is the damn price that keeps going up. I remember when you can go to McDonald’s and get out an entire meal if not for under $10. Now I’m spending $40 on three people.

[Shadow-Banned-Conservative]

Shrinkflation has hit McDonald's hard in Canada. The burgers shrank, and prices are stupid high now.
$15 for a meal is insane. I used to get double cheeseburgers, they're like sliders now, so tiny.

[kenbrandon]

Even though it’s been a couple decades, from when I used to work there, the reason the cheese was so much “meltier”, was that in the 90’s and early 2000’s, they used “Q-ing Ovens” to warm the burgers after they were assembled and wrapped. Basically, they microwaved them. I don’t remember when they were phased out but attempting to make “fresher” burgers made to order meant the buns were now room temperature and the meat was just warm enough for food safety. And sometimes the little extra time they used sit in those heating bins helped but could also dry out the burger while the melted into the burger patty, partially looking like it disappeared.

[Keepgoing]

As others are saying it’s overpriced now. The only reason to go there now is convenience. It used to be good when you’re broke to hit up the dollar menu

[richardsmith]

No amount of changes will save McDonalds ! From soggy buns, to TASTELESS cardboard " meat " pucks to cold fries. I visited recently and the 2 big macs were cold and just thrown in the box. With fries and a drink were over $ 19.00 . That's it for me, I will never eat at McDonalds again !! You can never get "fresh" off the grill "HOT" burgers as they keep cooked burgers in a holding pan and use them as needed. When will big corporations ever learn, you can't cut corners on quality or you will lose your customers in droves.

[bingcoteeagle]

If it means to choose between McDonald's or going home to open a can of beans, McDonald's loses out. That is how much I avoid going there. I refuse to pay outrageous prices for second-rate products . Why they are still in business is beyond me. They can try to rebrand all they want, it still changes nothing about the food itself.
