McDonald's used to be cheap decent food here in the U.S. but over the last decade or so the prices have kept going up while the quality has gone down.

To be fair no one has ever considered McDonald's to be gorumet food but it didn't matter because it was cheap and it was still pretty good.

Now they are neither cheap nor good. You could get a real burger at a much better restaurant for about the same price.

Since they've converted all of their restaurants into soulless little bland shoeboxes no one even stays there to eat anymore. The building is basically just a hub for drive through orders and DoorDash pickup.

It's pretty depressing. I hardly ever go there anymore. A Whataburger just opened down the street where the food is much better and everything is at least 25% cheaper depending on what you order.
