The market for McDonald's may well recalibrate. I don't think the 1% in America will wrap both arms around McDonald's fare ... but, sure, the next 10% down might well.
but your sausage biscuit was $7 - so those prices look like bargains.

McDonald’s Plans To Lower Prices Amid Outraged Customer Backlash
McDonald's customers have been slamming the chain over significant price increases, but they could see some relief in 2024.
This does not surprise me. As someone who doesn't follow the market moves of sausage biscuits very closely (that's why I come here), I cannot believe how much they charge.

in one (and only one) particular part of the country they're almost $7
I'm pretty sure just before covid, sausage biscuits were on the $1 menu. Probably once a week on my way to work, I'd get a sausage biscuit, hash brown, and large fountain drink all off the dollar menu for a $3 breakfast.This does not surprise me.

Yeah, as discussed earlier they obviously wanked my order. Get over yourself.
He means the one McDonald's in an upscale Connecticut community that was mentioned in his recent links.
a server is like a tv football announcer, pointless. i don’t go for the server, i go for the food. i don’t watch because romo is doing the game, i want to watch the game.
gonna pull an old man here and obviously this was eons ago……i went to suny buffalo for 1 year. we used to get 50 wings delivered for 4.50, it came with celery and blue cheese. can’t compare anymore, but i always laugh when i think about wings.
When I was growing up (1970s-80s), my parents almost never took the family to go out to eat. My mom cooked dinner virtually every night -- maybe twice a month we'd do Popeye's or Chinese takeout. We'd got out to eat most Mother's Days, but that would be it. What I learned at the time was that eating out -- anywhere, at any level of restaurant -- was a sign of wealth. We had five kids and my dad was a blue-collar worker -- our class of people didn't do restaurants. We just figured (if we ever thought about it) that Old New Orleans money + tourists kept all the restaurants open.
Ballpark it at a pint each, or larger? Some places used to do 32-oz beers for ~$5 maybe 25-30 years ago. $10 for that size beer today would be reasonable.
think you saw my air fryer recipe. give it a try with like 10 wings. make sure the basket is sprayed or non stick. lightly dust the wings with some salt, cayenne and flour. layer them and go 12 mins at 360. flip and then 12 mins at 360. flip and finish at 390 for 5 mins. did this last week and they were about perfect. or
you can go without the flour in the above, but a little bit helps grab the moisture and makes them crispier.
What are the characteristics of a good server?
i’ll agree to disagree. my recent experiences are someone takes your order, maybe or maybe not you see them again. someone runs the food. someone will return maybe for a check-in. dessert or coffee, bring check. i guess nowadays in the service industry i expect nothing. it’s kind of a rotational job, where you may see someone in march and they are gone by april. without a personal connection or seeing the same folks time after time, staff has little impact on me.
You guys are both correct. If I’m at a more casual place with quick orders, the server doesn’t matter much and I’d be fine with a little kiosk to order. If I’m at a nice place like a good steakhouse, a server can make the experience great. I remember one anniversary dinner where the manager came over multiple times and the server brought out extra chef special hors d’oeuvres and deserts. Everything was amazing and timed perfectly. I still talk about that as it was one of a handful of best eating experiences in my life. Another time at chain steakhouse more recently with my sons was awesome in part due to a fantastic waitress. We closed down the place and just had an amazing evening. When I go to Chili’s, I’m not expecting anything close and I’d be fine with no server as long as the food came out fine.
Agree- we have a couple local places we go to and we usually sit at the bar-- my wife and I have our drinks in front of us before we get our coats off.. nice to know your bartenders
Counter service screams two things, reasonable prices and the server is also running your food, basically doing everything. That’s not what I think of as a fast/casual place. A diner/local shop like that is a different experience than a chain restaurant or similar.
Again, completely different thing. Back when I lived outside of DC, I worked in an office and went to lunch with two friends almost every day. PIA commutes so our break from work. We went to some fast food places but most often we went to a higher end restaurant that had a great bar. The bartenders, who occasionally showed us their bikini picks from biker week, never charged us for drinks (sodas, we were working). Even with a decent tip, we’d get out of there for $10-12 and have a great burger or appetizer type lunch. Loved going there and the bartenders were a very nice part of the experience. I’ll never go to Chili’s or a place like that enough to come close to that. Different scenarios IMHO.
For this alone it was worth a hundy. The fact that your friend is your landscaper is bonus.
That's not too bad, 5ish for a regular size beer. 35 for 20 wings is nuts. $1.75 a wing lol
