    I live in a small town and the only garbage that i see around are McDonald’s bags and drinkt that get thrown on the side of the road. I think it’s a special kind of people that eats at McDonald’s, and they don’t care about quality, prices and the mystery shit they eat.

      Luckily I do not notice that here, but have noticed how busy our McD can get while having a perfect alternative in town.

        McDonald’s is so expensive here, it’s not really poor people food, it’s lazy people food.

        It’s cheaper to boil a pot of pasta or make your own burger, hell, it’s cheaper to go to other restaurants. People aren’t going to McDonald’s because they are poor.

          Poor people work a lot so they need readymade food and historically McDonald’s was cheap readymade food. I’m flat broke right now until payday and making my own food out of what I have in the pantry is consuming a lot of my time between shifts

            Make sure you make very large portions. Cook enough pasta for 5 meals, then put 4 in the fridge. Those four reheat quickly in the microwave. Beef stew? 10 portions. Steak? 3 portions. Same for everything else, don’t just make single portions, make extra then eat it later as a quick meal. Cooking takes significantly less time this way. And is way, way faster than waiting at a McDonald’s.

          I hear the argument a lot that yes, McDonald’s is bad, but it feeds poor people. That is such a lie. Even if McDonald’s were half the price, it wouldn’t beat rice and beans for example. If you have to feed 4 people at McDonald’s where i live, that’s 4 menus, equals 80 dollars. Even if you’d half that, you vould coock for them for a week if you really want to, and it’s not shit ass McDonald’s food.

        Poor people? I pay 9.95 euros for fries and meat at my snackbar. I just checked in their app and I’d have to pay around about the same (depending on what meat option I pick) to have less fries and worse quality meat.

        For the McDonalds I’d have to drive there, for the local option I could walk there faster than driving to the McD.
