I’m frustrated with McDonald’s price increases. I used to be able to get a double cheeseburger for $1 but McD’s decided to take a slice of cheese off of that, call it the McDouble, and price it at $1. In other words, the value has decreased — you get less for the same price. Prices on (at least) the Big Mac and Quarter Pounder w/cheese have also increased in the past year: a year ago they were both about $2.60 in Nashville and now they’re both priced at $3.09. That’s nearly a 20% price hike. As a result I almost never go to McDonald’s anymore — Burger King and Taco Bell both, as a result of McDonald’s price increases, offer better value.

When McD’s advertises the McDouble I yell at my TV: “Rip-off! What happened to the second slice of cheese?!”

hehe

It happened to me last week, an extra 150 fils, thats ridiculas, imagine that for a few years, a breakfastst that once cost 700 fils will one day in near future cost 1.5kd.
Where’s the the ministry of tijara, didnt they announce that these type of things should be reported?? someone should complain.

Burger King I think also havent increased their prices. They used to be the most expensive but now they are cheaper or similar in price to mcdonalds

BTW – while we are still on the topic of price changes – the only fast-food joints who haven’t jumped the wagon (so far): Little Ceasar’s & Naif Chicken.

The hasbrown screwup – happened to me twice, and once, instead of B/fast combo – they gave me pan cakes (w/o the syrup of course)! And it happened at the same branch – Shuwaikh. The babe in-charge is so angelic, you dont have the heart to berate her.

Since I came to dublin I didn’t try any of the fast food companies out here. I do my own breakfast and have it on my way to work at the bus. What’s so hard with a cup of coffee and a cheese sandwich ? ;P

I usually trust MC and Burger King when they give me the bag. But I always check the contents with KFC and Hardee’s.

Anyway, there’s always shar3 elma6a3m or your local near by restaurant. A meal costs 950 fils in shar3 elma6a3im.

Perhaps its inflation thats affecting the cost of their inputs…

Perhaps demand is extremely strong and so they feel that by increasing the prices they will make more money off of the customers that arent turned off…

I dont think they will be isolating too many people, as fast food such as BK Mc D’s remains affordable to most. Depends on the demographics of their customers… i wonder what the average income of a customer is…

I dont think the workers or hired help constitute much of their customer base, probably fat kuwaiti kids moreso

If I take the drive-thru on busy days I always end up with somebody else’s food. You should try out Burger King’s breakfast instead, it’s not bad.
