McDonald's as a whole is just so terrible now; and with insanely high prices compared to other options this is no surprise. I can get a meal for about the same price as a McDonald's meal which I consider to be premium. For example, Chipotle or Naf Naf/Cava, or any other of the many options we have these days. Compound this with a lousy dine-in experience: Bland, caustic styling, a forced touchscreen system that boomers revile, and the rudest employees in the industry. McDonald's has cut corners for years and it's finally catching up with them.
