This was in Dallas. There was another one in Brownsville that this happened to.

I really miss the unhinged topiary that used to be outside of every fast food restaurant when I was a kid.

Looks like they changed their target group.

In both cases it's millennials. It's even called "millennial grey."

Typical family with kids can no longer afford to eat here since the business model is to maximize shareholder value. So it makes sense to rebrand to the only people who can afford it.

the menu prices are insanity.

last time i was in there, they wanted 3 bucks for the shitty little burger they used to sell for 99 cents.

Not even getting started on 10 dollar bigmacs and other stupidity.

There really is a lack of kids-themed restaurants. Rainforest Cafe, Old McD with play places, You'd think they'd be able to keep a place that caters to families open.

They'd need to charge amounts that families can afford for that to work.

And it also just got more expensive

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For laughs, I checked out how much the meal cost in my city. It's $12.

For two dollars more, I can get a better burger at my neighborhood bar.

Last time I ate mcdonalds we paid 15 euros a person which is quite a price for the garbage quality
