I’m in the same boat, it hasn’t been 6 years for me but like they’re pricing alone has done a pretty damn good job at making me not want to go there outside of if I’m on vacation, you for a little while were able to use their deals program to get pretty decent deals, but now even the deals suck. Likes for example currently they’re offering a buy one get one hamburger, or 40% off a cheeseburger. Not even close to an incentive to go due to their burgers starting at 2$ a burger(plain hamburger).
At their pricing it’s better for me to order the two for 26 at Applebee’s which gets me two actual burgers of okay quality with bacon, two things of fries and an appitizer.
Or stop at the Pizza Hut that’s literally right next door and pay 12$ for a 1 topping large pizza, or go to a Domino’s down the street and pay $20 get two large pizzas a thing of chicken and a 2 Liter…
You wait roughly around the same time for an order of that size and you pay less plus you’re good for the next two or three meals.
Since 2019 the cost of my typical order at McDonald’s has gone from about $12, to almost 19$, while absolutely fucking their speed metric and quality metric, insane
