McD's workers in Denmark are paid $22/hr + 6 wks paid vacation. Price of Big Mac meal is about a dollar more to customers than here. The wage issue is a red herring. But, inflation of gas, electricity, oil, food, etc. is real, and it is worldwide.

One pizza with more cheese than you like and "my to go place" becomes "lost my business"? Wow.

Maybe not. But, I expect restaurants to be consistent. I think that is why McDonald's has been so successful.

My steak was great. Tender and medium well just as I ordered. The veggies were slightly overcooked but still good. Service was good too

Of course 5hey are so much better, I certainly would never call them good. The term is convenience.

People working three jobs to pay their rent don’t have time to cook, they need fast. People on cross country trips that can’t afford any extra time for fine dining, and on and on.

If everyone was as lucky as those of us that can afford to retire here are, McDonalds would have ver few customers.

But sadly they have a lot of customers, and people that eat there or similar places are dying by constantly eating that food. In moderation, it is bad, as a constant diet it is poison.

Very true sadly. It does seem the healthier you want to eat, the more expensive it is - either eating out or at home.

Exactly. Some people just have to jump in without thinking. Good grief.

Why is it that almost all canned food in the grocery store has a high salt content, unless you buy the "no salt added" or the "low sodium" versions? I thought that, if they can make the same product with less salt, they were just adding the salt to improve the taste.

That’s the problem with old grumps here. They’re unreasonable. God forbid you got some extra cheese on your pizza!
