In a development that will somehow be Biden’s fault, McDonald’s plans to offer a $5 meal consisting of a McDouble cheeseburger (meaning two patties but one slice of cheese) or a McChicken sandwich, plus a four piece Chicken McNuggets, fries, and a drink, will only last a month starting on June 25th, NBC News reports on a massive multinational corporation whose c-suite have been bitching about declining sales but too fucking cheap to do something about it permanently.
“Consumers continue to be even more discriminating with every dollar that they spend as they faced elevated prices in their day-to-day spending, which is putting pressure on the [quick-service restaurant] industry,” CEO Chris Kempczinski said on the company’s earnings call on April 30. “Well guess we should start lowering prices on our shitty food to fix that,” he did not add.
Kempczinski did not say why Wendy’s can afford to offer a marginally better product in a $5 box and has for years now, despite the global inflation the right wingers constantly masturbate to, while McDonald’s is incapable of grabbing their balls and doing the same on an indefinite basis.
