A Shocking McDonald’s Bill”Have you seen how food prices have been going through the roof lately? It looks like even cheap food is getting more and more expensive. Prices for energy and food have gone through the roof because of the sharp rise in inflation over the past year. This has made it hard for many Americans to make ends meet.
People thought they could always count on one thing, though: a cheap meal at McDonald’s. Is that still true, though? Christopher Olive, a TikTok user, recently shared an embarrassing ticket from his McDonald’s visit, which shocked a lot of people.
A Smoky Double Quarter Pounder BLT burger, a big order of fries, and a Sprite were Christopher’s main course. This meal isn’t a Happy Meal, but it’s also not a fancy one either. What did he think he would pay? Not at all $16.10, which is what he was charged.
Some people were shocked and angry at the price, while others said that rising costs have affected every part of the supply chain. Some people said Christopher must have chosen the most expensive thing on the menu, while others gave Christopher money-saving tips at McDonald’s, like using the app to get deals and discounts.
A big question is brought up by the debate: Is fast food still cheap in the US? It’s clear that a lot of people are having a hard time because prices keep going up.
