$3 for a single McDonald's hash brown? Some customers are fed up and pushing back
Corporate America may be bumping up against the limit of its power to keep raising prices as consumers in some markets cry uncle.
"Even though we're pushing through pricing, the consumer is tolerating it well," he said in October analyst call.

Good, I'm angering the fat-asses. Eat more McDonalds, McFatties.
I'm gonna be in the minority here but I see this as a good thing for fast food prices to be high. Shouldn't we all be advocating and pushing more for a healthier alternative? Cook our own meals, know what's nutritious, stop giving junk food companies our money when they systematically have been a negative on our health for years. I'll never understand why there is such a fight to protect and have cheap prices for fast food joints when they are and have been anything but healthy.
People target others with criticism like how we don't control their money and their eating habits. Well guess what, I've got news for you. Don't complain about why you're paying out the ass for insulin, for medical costs and everything in between because of your lack of self-control that is tied to your eating habits by continuing to go to these "restaurants".
And I'm going to throw a stone also say that I'm not doing myself better since I go out to chinese buffets. But in my defense, I get far more out of them than I would being handed a greasy bag with everything shoved in while the food quality and texture all say depression and guilt.
...is everything alright? You feeling good? Rough day or something? Jeez.
Oh cry me a river. So many people whining about the articulation of opinions. I'm not going to soften myself just so your simple-minded brain can digest it easier. I'm not out to ask permission in how I want to express things for people like you. If it bothers you that much, downvote and go the fuck away. It's that simple, otherwise, responding at all will just make it worse on yourself.
It’s a great evening to kick back with a cold beer.
I hope you get a chance to watch the sun set later, bro.
You’re not wrong you’re just an asshole. I only go out to eat for social events. Everything else is home cooked. But also being this asshole doesn’t help change habits or minds or just makes people think less of people like me who actually do live this life.
Again, I'm not going to ask permission as to how I'm going to express certain opinions to appease people out there and check on their emotions. Your emotions are not my responsibility.
You're allowed to be an asshole, but you're coming off as a whiney asshole with no regard to other people.
I mean, do you walk into a McDonald's and tell fatties that they're wrong? No? Why not? Because people would be mad at you?
And yet when you do that online you somehow expect the results to be different and for people to stop telling you that you're an asshole? Why? Just live your life, accept that people will think your an asshole for it, and move on.
Wanted to add -
Imagine an all-volunteer orchestra where everyone is free to play their own tune. Even without a strict conductor, the orchestra members are aware that their individual performances affect the harmony of the entire group. If someone plays discordantly or off-key intentionally, they might not be solely responsible for how the audience feels about the music, but they do contribute to the overall experience.
When members of the orchestra (or posters on the fediverse) disregard the collective effort to create something enjoyable and cohesive, they risk being “downvoted” to the last chair, where their impact is lessened. However, their presence and performance can still affect the overall sound. So, while you can say what you want, your words are part of a larger community conversation and can influence the “melody” of the platform, for better or worse.
Sure, and your behaviour isn't my problem either. So I just downvote you since you do not have anything important to say and move on. (except for this comment)
Oh, you sure showed me~ /s
You’re right about your responsibility.
I do like the idea of an online forum as a space for building community through respectful exchange of ideas, as opposed to antagonism that damages others or the community fabric.
Lemmy does benefit from maintaining some basic standards of civility and care for others. We all contribute to the emotional environment collective discussions create.
