McDonald's is transitioning away from self-serve beverage stations and some locations may start to charge for refills that were once free.

I have no idea why anyone still goes to McDogsbreath (I'll likely hear some reasons in responses to this comment, but I've heard them before and don't buy them). Back in the day I rarely had positive experiences when I was dragged out there reluctantly. Plasticy food of subpar quality, and very uncomfortable, plastic furniture.
And in recent years, between the prices quadrupling, the limited menu for people who don't like burgers, the shite Wi-Fi, and now them not even being willing to lose 10c on a relatively small % of customers who get a soda refill... Why go there at all! There are so many better fast food options than that disaster of a chain.
Sometimes I just have a hankering for fresh McDonald's fries.
How are you traveling back in time 20 years?
I'm not sure if they changed, or my taste changed, but the fries are almost inedible to me now. They smell fantastic still, but they just taste so fake.
They did change at some point in the 2000s, they used to use meat in the cooking, they don't anymore
Their fries just fucking get me. They carry the meal. I don't eat McD's often but the fries always deliver the exact disappointment I'm expecting and I eat every single one.
Gotta eat them fast or they go sad and floppy in 5 minutes
I believe you're thinking of in-n-out.
Their fries used to do it for me. A long time ago they were fried in tallow and they had a better ratio of longer fries. They also used an amount of salt that tasted good right after getting out of the fry oil so it would stick to the fries, but the huge difference was the oil. They tasted so much better. Now my favorite fry choice is Arby's curly fries.
I agree with you that it's shitty. The reason I go there is because the one near my house is the easiest place to get in and out of on the way to the highway when I'm going to my friends after work and need to grab something for dinner. 2 Mcdoubles is pretty cheap and have decent amount of protein. $6ish for dinner I can eat in the car.
I go there maybe twice a year. It's the apple pies.
It's cheap, quick, and good for a burger delivered to your window.
But it's not cheap anymore
It's gone up but the ranting that is over $20 is overblown. I can get 2 bacon egg and cheese bagels for 4.50. Or I got a triple quarter pounder meal and a happy meal for like $20.
The problem is that the soda machine takes maintenance and gets destroyed. They make a huge margin on Soda so I doubt that's the problem.
