Yeah, not that I used to eat fast food a lot but with prices as high as they've gotten I just can't justify it. It's garbage food that's more expensive than sit-down options. Everyone has a phone, so with 10 minutes of pre planning you can order from anywhere and not have to sit there and wait which makes McDonald's lose ground in convenience too.

Pricing is about the only place McDonald's could win, but they're too greedy and we all know it.

I don't know why I bother with ordering ahead of time because every time I do they haven't done shit when I get there to pick it up.
