"I had been waiting for it to happen but last night was a bit of a shock. My wife and I zipped through the McDonald's drive-thru for two double cheeseburgers. We did not even pay attention to the total until we pulled to the window to pay and it was $2.65. We inquired and were told the New McDouble has two patties and once slice of cheese and is still $1. The double cheese is now $1.25 because of the cost of cheese."

fuck that noise

double cheeseburger has been 1.19 here in the southeastern corner of SC for a while now. fuck, im pissed that the new weak-ass JBC at wendy's is $1.79 at the nearest wendy's to me. i gotta drive an hour to get one for 0.99.

but i dont give a fuck about a second slice of cheese. if they'd drop shit back down to a dollar, i'd still get the mcdouble, or whatever the fuck they wanna call it. if it bothers you so bad, bring your own slice of cheese.

I am just gonna keep a pack of cheese in my console.

I know, right?

I'm through with wendy's. I only ever ate that, and the chili.
I remember getting one of those, and opening it up, wondering what the hell was going on.

And their chili is water, onion, bean, and meat, in that order. Like, 9 chunks of meat in a container.

i hear they make their chili out of grill scrapings. they cut down on the size of their burgers, that cuts down on what sticks to the grill, more filler for the chili.

"NEW YORK — A jump in global sales boosted McDonald's Corp.'s third-quarter profit by 11 percent, the company said Wednesday, a bright spot among restaurant companies as strapped consumers balk at spending their cash on dining out. The nation's No. 1 hamburger chain cited the popularity of its sandwiches and drinks, but reiterated that it was discussing changes to its Dollar Menu because of the high cost of ingredients and expected to reach a decision soon. Consumers _ spooked by bank failures, declines in the stock market and talk of a prolonged recession _ have cut back on spending and focused on necessities. Given their desire to save cash, fast food sales have held up far better than those at pricier sit-down restaurants. McDonald's is "recession-resistant," Chief Executive Jim Skinner said on a conference call, adding that it is "operating from a position of strength." Although the company did not offer specific guidance for the fourth quarter, Skinner said he was "optimistic" about its outlook and that October sales have been strong so far. Same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, were notably strong in the third quarter, rising 7.1 percent globally and 4.7 percent in the U.S. The sales growth propelled overall revenue up 6 percent to $6.27 billion and net income to $1.19 billion, or $1.05 per share, from $1.07 billion, or 89 cents per share, a year earlier. Both those figures beat analysts' expectations, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters. Margins, which have been shrinking at other restaurant companies due to higher commodity costs, expanded overall despite pricey beef and chicken. Margins were down slightly in the U.S. due to the costs. The company said it was able to mostly keep margins healthy because of its large scale and the wide variety of products on its menu. McDonald's prices were also about 3 percent to 5 percent higher than in last year's third quarter. But with beef costs expected to stay high, McDonald's has said it may raise the price of some items on its Dollar Menu or alter what's offered. Chief Operating Officer Ralph Alvarez indicated the company will not walk away from the food-for-a-dollar concept, but said there may be "some tweaks" to the menu. The company said it is discussing options with its franchisees and will reach a decision soon. "

it pisses me off that wendy's nuggets are now $1.19

gas is cheap now. it doesn't cost as much to deliver food to the stores

12/10/2008 9:45:54 PM

Fuck the recession, my company will have earned a cool 3/4 billion in profits by the end of this year. I'll keep on buying double cheeseburgers!




You know, if I fucking ate McDonald's.
