    Bad editing, but valid questions and complaints. McDonald's is
    charging more and giving the customers less. But it's not alone.
    Shrinkflation is occurring all over.
    The only way to get companies to change is to cease spending
    money on them. Boycott McDonald's, Burger King, Chick-Fil-A, Wendy's,
    ad nauseam. If they're not making any money, they will have to change.

    That's because systemic inflation is in charge of our entire economy
    now.

    The only way to get companies to change is to cease spending
    money on them. Boycott McDonald's, Burger King, Chick-Fil-A, Wendy's,
    ad nauseam. If they're not making any money, they will have to change.

    So how will they "change" to get prices down?

    Make less profit?

    "AI Overview
    McDonald's corporate net profit margin is around
    32%, while individual franchise owners typically see a //store-level net
    profit margin of 6% to 15%. //

    (which is not at all excessive, is it?)

    Because McDonald's operates largely as a franchisor and real estate
    company rather than just a fast-food restaurant, profit margins differ significantly between the parent corporation and individual store
    operators."

    Maybe they could use cheaper imported beef?
