Maccie D's for a quick and cheap meal

[willhub]

Went to a Maccie D's in Ordsall, Salford.

Thought it'd be quick and cheap, £5.30 later, the woman looked like she wanted to kill herself, not very helpful AT ALL!

Meal was incredibly tiny for that price, was expecting to pay about £3, I could probably have got away without paying since she never checked the till!

You were expecitng to pay £3 for a McDonalds meal?

Had you just stepped out of 1998 or something?

LOL.

In 1998 they were £2.79. I remember it because I was at Uni and was working at a City Centre Argos at the time. I used to go to Maccy D's for lunch every now and then and I remember that price for any meal (this was before they did special Taste of New Yorker burgers with fancy buns and such guff).

How much is a big mac meal now?

I'm a KFC guy.

It may be the worst thing you can eat health wise, but you can't beat a double cheeseburger & large fries for £2.88.

The only problem is it may taste nice but it's 900 calories and you are starving a couple of hours later!

~£4.09 medium + 40p to 'go large'

The only thing worse than suicide is when the soon to be dead person is taking too long to make my fries AND THEN CHARGES ME AN APPROPRIATE SUM OF MONEY

If only we had US prices.

A Big Mac meal in the US is $5.69 (or £3.72), in the UK the same meal is £4.19.

So it's not THAT much cheaper.

Ah not that bad. Think I will stick to KFC and its amazing gravy mmm.

Burger King is where it's at

7 to 8 euro for a tiny POS meal...no ta!

That is not a Burger King meal I presume?

We do - it's typically between $7-9 for a McDonalds meal in the US.

Here, a medium extra value meal is typically what, £4.39? Though a medium in the US is equivilent to a large here which would be £4.80ish.

I thought he was going down the Pulp Fiction road.

Vincent: All right. Well, you can walk into a movie theater in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup; I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald's. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
Vincent: Nah, man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the *WOAH!* a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: What do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a "Royale with Cheese."
Jules: "Royale with Cheese."
Vincent: That's right.
Jules: What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "Le Big Mac."
Jules: [in mock French accent] "Le Big Mac." [laughs] What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I don't know, I didn't go in a Burger King.

Not in very many places - prices vary from branch to branch. Don't think I've ever paid that little for one.
