Rant Lady came in with a screenshot of this on her phone and expected us to make everything the price it said on the picture... (USA)

Post image

She ordered everything at the speaker...I was confused cause she would say, like 'Five dollar nuggets... Four dollar fries... Three dollar mcflurry... Two dollar mozzarella sticks...' (i had to tell her we don't have those here so she got fries instead) + the #7. It came out to like 29 dollars. She goes to pay and she tells me that the nuggets should be five bucks... this should all be like 15 bucks... I'm confused so she shows me the picture. It was DURING rush hour so I don't have patience and I just immediately grab my manager who had to explain to this pissed off lady that we can't do that. She got rid of the mcflurry and paid. Lmao.

3

u/SoggyCold 1d ago

I think cuz Big Mac is like thinner Patty

u/Upnorth4 1d ago

u/Punkkstar3 2d ago

Do you guys do buy one get one free Big Mac during football season

3

u/MentionBoring7949 Night Crew 2d ago

No, but we did do $9 big mac meal instead of $10, and buy one get one for a $1 doubles, mchickens, 6 nuggets, or s fries. Right now its under $3 for mcdouble mchicken 4 piece or s fry

4

u/Punkkstar3 2d ago

Yeah in Midwest we did the same but also bogo free Big Mac for sacs 😾😿 it’s terrible

1

u/Professional-Air588 1d ago

they removed the bogo at my mcdonald’s here in Wa lol. i presume it’s part of the recent price remarking but i don’t see how any of these new prices save a single cent. it genuinely feels immediately as bad as the ingredients eating fast food now

u/ELCHOCOCLOCO Cashier 2d ago

Western US?

u/MentionBoring7949 Night Crew 2d ago

Yup 🫠

u/absent-chaos 2d ago

Big Mac in Idaho is 5.59

2

u/jadedgoldfish 1d ago

5.99 at the McDonald's in east oakland. 6.59 to 6.99 in downtown SF, even in the touristy areas. For everyone saying "California prices!" SF is much less marked up than you'd think.

2

u/Joe1237 2d ago

Sounds like California pricesšŸ˜‚

4

u/MentionBoring7949 Night Crew 2d ago

Yup šŸ‘ It’s not even warranted either, I live in a nowhere town

u/Upnorth4 1d ago

Only $6.19 for a Big Mac where I live in California

1

u/d4ssy Crew Trainer 1d ago

8.10 AUD for us

u/purpler-_- 1d ago

$5.89 at WV and OH locations that are near me

u/tootsie_pop03 Crew Trainer 1d ago

....in northern new York, ours is $5.99 😲

1

u/KyanLMFAO 1d ago

Ours are 5.99, 8.79 if you want a meal what the hell

1

u/Muckypup17 21h ago

$6.04 with tax in Minnesota

1

u/purplebrat1 8h ago

It's almost $9 for just a big Mac where I'm at

68

u/nitrobilder12 Crew Trainer 2d ago

I might be miss reading

In the meme logic thos prices look close like maybe 20 cents off ech but to get them all 20 for $15 impossible

Did she think it was a mix and mach menu?

53

u/R3m1ndmeto4get 2d ago

Yeah, they're all close. She chose one from each category, and then added the 10 piece meal, happy meal, and a few drinks too. She thought that with those, too, it should be 15 bucks. No idea what she was doing and the young teen (prolly 12 or 13) looked mortified in the passenger seat lmaoo

u/jaybird6638 2d ago

Lol mom needs to get off the facebook 🤣🤣

1

u/Global_Bee_6033 4h ago

They dropped the "the" years after this still.....

18

u/jaybird6638 2d ago

Lol you completely misunderstood what happened here, the menu is completely fake and is a meme for one and the lady was trying to pick one of each item not the whole menu

3

u/nitrobilder12 Crew Trainer 2d ago

Your ½ right I knew it was a meme menu thus why I said "Meme logic "

And I edmit I didn't read the caption just the head line thus why I was unsure if " she was trying to get The entire menu for $15 or did ahe think it was a mix mach menu" in other words did she understand it was not all 20 for $15 or not now that I've read the caption yea I would have completely understand the 1st time if I read it

2

u/jaybird6638 1d ago

I was just reiterating that it was a meme i wasnt trying to correct you on that part

27

u/Vulox57 Crew Trainer 2d ago

You can only pick one from each category, so the pricing on the side adds up to $14 but you have $15 to spend?

8

u/NeonWafflez 2d ago

Usually they let you choose from any category, this one is just dumb

4

u/Brilliant-Medium8238 2d ago

technically could be sales tax

31

u/KocvyJr Crew Member 2d ago

Honestly that looks like one of those Facebook memes that you saw like in mid 2010's.

12

u/metalflygon08 Retired McBitch 2d ago

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what this is, like those "You have $20 to choose which DBZ characters will protect you while the rest try to kill you" memes.

22

u/Winter-Ad5930 2d ago

Customer here, since when does Mc Donald’s have mozzarella sticks

18

u/thr-owa-wa-y Night Crew 2d ago

We had it in Australia for a while

13

u/game82 Grill 2d ago

Apparently they do in the UK, its on their menu

7

u/Shalax1 Crew Member 2d ago

It's the current one in the promotion. They come and go every few months

5

u/Kerbob 2d ago

We had cheese sticks way back in 2015. The problem with those, we cooked them in the oven and the cheese usually melted out onto the pan liner, so half of the cheese was missing.

4

u/ChickenAndDew Retired McBitch 2d ago

We used to have them for a limited time years ago. They had to be put in the pie oven instead of the fryers.

3

u/Adept-Armadillo-5602 2d ago

I remember having them in the US like 12 years ago. They sucked, they were literally hollow with a whisper of cheese and it was like $3 for 3 tiny empty sticks. No wonder they got rid of them

2

u/FoundMeBeautifulOnce Dish Bitch 1d ago

We did for a minute (US) in like 2013.

4

u/R3m1ndmeto4get 2d ago

I certainly can't remember a time, at least in the states near me.

u/Luggar OTP 2d ago

Probably AI shit

u/FakeMikeMorgan AGM/OTP/MOD 2d ago

Where do they still have cheese sticks at?

5

u/SoggyCold 2d ago

UK I think

6

u/WDGaster15 2d ago

I'll spend $15 on... nothing because they're pricing out food that like 6 years ago was cheap

12

u/thr-owa-wa-y Night Crew 2d ago

Looks like it also uses AI generated photos, none of the nuggets are correct

9

u/R3m1ndmeto4get 2d ago

yeah, they ain't right for sure... Oreo mcflurry has some chunks of m&ms...Small fries aren't in a small fry thing..mcdouble has two pieces of cheese..apple slices are... who even knows...

3

u/MasonJarGaming Grill 2d ago

Also, the McDouble/Double cheese both appear to have one big beef patty instead of two small ones

u/IsopropylFumeEnjoyer Order Taker 2d ago

That’s not even 15 dollars that’s 14

u/BusyMarionberry5325 1d ago

It is crazy the amount of stupid people that live in this world. How did they even make it to adulthood lmao

2

u/bigmangina 2d ago

This random picture aside, its 1 of each, the possible price totalling $14, why does it say spend $15. Am i missing something?

1

u/Daemon213 Shift Manager 2d ago

It's one of the games on Facebook or whatever where you're suppose to make something with only $15. I've seen ones where you have to make teams with superheroes or even just celebrities.

1

u/bigmangina 2d ago

So its an obviously impossible game that hopes to get more customers?

3

u/Daemon213 Shift Manager 2d ago

It's not even official. It's just something someone made and posted on social media somewhere. The customer saw it and thought it was real.

u/bigmangina 1d ago

Thats hilarious

u/Aggravating_Rest_335 1d ago

Here in the southwest, all mcdonalds have big mac with fries for 6 dollars, or 20 piece nugget and 2 large fries for 8. No one knows why but its a life saver when your short on cash.

u/Daemon213 Shift Manager 2d ago

I love how the first answer people go to for EVERYTHING now-a-days is that it must be AI.

It was a question
