I’m up in Canada and since the start of the pandemic I’ve stopped going to fast food places. But after things got back to normal, I thought why should I go back to ordering food at McD’s … as I thought of it more, I realized it didn’t make any sense.
Fast food is basically unnutritious food made by underpaid workers who don’t like their work … the food doesn’t do me any good and its too expensive … I have to trust the underpaid employee didn’t mess up my order … I waste money by degrading my health only to spend more money to try to get back some good health
I realized it was cheaper in the long run of my life to not eat at these damned places.
Yeah, McDs sucks and I haven’t been in years, but I do go to fast good restaurants that have decent quality and pay workers reasonably, like In-N-Out, Five Guys, etc. We don’t go very often, maybe once or twice per month, so we’re happy paying a little more for better quality.
Last year, I got to march, and realised I hadn’t had a McDonald’s in over 3 months.
So I decided to just stop going there.
I think it was all the price hikes: When it’s £7 for any half decent burger and fries, I might as well be spending a bit more and going to a local place.
Or getting something better than a burger!
Or spending the same, and getting slightly better at Wendy’s.

How’s the worker pay on Culver’s?
It’s bad. They’re also famous for using child labor. They actively recruit as young of children as legally allowed.
Ah. Damn.
I made a similar decision around 20 years ago.
