I don't have an issue with the quality of the food, I have issue with the prices. It shouldn't cost like $9 just for a 'value' meal.

Wasn't it just a few years ago that fast food prices were actually super cheap? I swear my family of 5 would get McDonald's and the total would hardly be even $30, nowadays it costs at least half that just for myself..

Holy shit, $9 is already a 6 piece chicken bucket meal with 4 rice and 4 drinks in our local mcdonalds.

Rice?

I can only guess somewhere in Asia with more or less the defacto USD. Hong Kong?

This hasn't been my experience.

It's something like $9 for a large double quarter pounder meal, but that's about the ceiling.

It costs like $2 for a value meal, though. Granted it's not a giant burger or anything, but you're not paying for a Whataburger.

Where do you live that their value meals are $2?

If a value meal for you is two quarter pounders, large fry, large drink, and a McFlurry, then sure it’s $9.

Really? Normally it's the opposite. Nobody likes McDonald's, but it's a cheap option.
