A TikTok user blamed McDonald’s for raising its prices to the point where they were no longer reasonable.
The man was surprised to discover that the fast-food chain was charging him over $16 for his usual order, consisting of a large fry, a Smoky Double Quarter Pounder BLT burger and a Sprite.In the U.S., and in most countries around the world, the cost of living has risen dramatically due to soaring inflation.
Unfortunately, once-cheap takeaways have also become more expensive, so Americans can no longer rely on cheap McDonald’s dinners.The creator of the TikTok message that has gone viral and garnered a lot of attention, Christopher Olive, says that a few years ago, this meal – which he now pays over $16 for – cost $10 or even less.
In the video, he says: „I know wages are going up, there’s a labor shortage and a lot of other things, but sixteen dollars?A hamburger, a huge order of fries and a drink costs sixteen dollars. It’s simply absurd.
However, some argue that we should bear in mind that rising costs have an impact on the entire supply chain.
