Seems like there may be a "rest of the story" to both of the high prices in the article. One came about by choosing the premium sandwich and the highest price on the menu and the other was at a rest area in one of the most expensive areas on the east coast. They are real prices, but neither are exactly what the typical McD's customer would order.

What McDonald's New Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder Tastes Like When it comes down to it, this isn’t super novel; it’s similar to a Quarter Pounder Deluxe (which has mayo, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onion), except it adds bacon, subs out the usual condiments for the new sauce, and there’s no onion. |

which we don't know: Are there more than average people coming in to just buy only a large soda? Are they increasing prices to push people towards an app? Are there some labor cost increases to fully staff in this area? Is there a seasonality issue which we don't know about in the area's buying habits? is the realized profit less than budget and need to make up dollars? did they miscalculate the price elasticity of their offerings? Are they still making up for the few individual drop outs with the lunch crowd? There are a lot of issues with retail food industries which are very under appreciated / unknown to patrons, so large changes mean something for the business, but what, we are really just grasping at straws or fries. retired finance guy |

So you're arguing the "price of tea in China" side of the debate?

Grocery stores, department stores, and big box stores have sales. I have never known a fast food restaurant to have a sale price on an item. Although I have seen them have lower prices on their app from the prices listed in the store. |

According to this article, menu prices in September rose by 6 percent over the same period in 2022.
That makes the 70% increase at McDonald’s even more astonishing. Fast Food Is Becoming More Expensive |

There are many sit down restaurants around that have specials where you can eat for about the same as McD's now, I never go to McD's etc when I have an option like that. Take a look at Millers Ale House specials menu for an example.

You obviously don't live in TV. Most of the old people are active and relatively fit. So take your nonsense and skedaddle.
