Use the app. If you're paying $50 at Mcd, idk what to tell you, that's pretty dumb. The other day I went (I live in the Seattle area so it's more expensive here than your avg place), and I spent $7 for 2 quarter pounders and a McChicken. They pretty much have the buy one get one free deal running non stop. Compare that to eating out which is $30+ per person. I do agree that home cooking is the way to go and that's what I have always done but it really isn't that expensive... Unless you don't use the app and waste your money on meals (the fries and drink are so not worth it).

People are going to other fast food or dine in restaurants as you can get a better quality meal for the same or lower cost if you do some research. Arbys, Subway, Burger King, Burgerville, Wendy's, taco Bell, Chipotle, Chic-fil-A, have just as good of meals at lower or equal prices if you are in to fast food. At least the burgers don't look like they were thrown together from 20 feet and run over by a Mac truck like they do at McDonalds.

@YesYou-zy7kp The minimum wage hadn't been raised since 2009 and finally went up in 2019. The wage for employees who made tips was just 2.13 an hour because the customer was expected to supplement their wage. 7.25 for everyone else. Did McDonald's refuse to raise their prices in that time? Were groceries the same price as they were a decade prior? Are workers supposed to keep getting poorer as inflation continuously outpaces any wage increases they may receive? Why did the prices go up while McDonald's and other fast food companies had saved tons of money by replacing employees with kiosks and an app to pre-order? If you're going to lick the corporate boot, do it in private. It's gross.
