Fast food are like drug dealers, they got their customers hooked and now they can crank up their prices. However the nature of economics means others will undercut them for the same or better products. Causing them to lose customers and forcing them to lower their prices to bring them back.
The pendulum of economics swings back and forth endlessly.
ANNOYING LESTER HOLT STRIKES AGAIN
I can see no reason for fast food now when you can pay about the same for real better food! I quit fast food the past year now. Try it it is awesome actually. Once you quit you don't crave it.
After 4 years of record breaking profits, record breaking share holder returns record breaking multi million bonuses…. now they're going back to reality with prices… Disgusting
They always drop prices at restaurants during the holidays. Nothing new.
God bless chilly
I left when they shrunk the fillet of fish! 😂😂😂
So they admit they were gouging
These new franchises are not supposed to be in the United States. Leave, go to Africa where they are supposed to be located(!) Load Period, EDNY Bankruptcy Court Chief General
These restaurants like Chili’s and Applebee’s still don’t get it. Thee temporary price drops are only going to fill their restaurants temporarily until prices go back up. The reason they can’t compete long-term with fast food restaurants is because people are fed up with the escalating inflation and having to tip 15% minimum or more for a waiter.
idk, my local mcdonalds is always wrapped around the drive thru……
Didn't you people do a report on this MONTHS ago? This feels like you're regurgitating some old stuff here.
we need to go back to those clinton era mcdonalds prices, we need that 2 dollar big mac fr
Surreee…I have my old receipts in my floorboard.
I don't blame them for starting a price war. If you let your customers die, the competition will lower prices in the hopes you'll go out of business, and they will keep your customers because they would hate to think they could get Quarter Pounders with pooh-pooh on the onions.
Dumb news
Thanks to biden for low prices
I literally quit eating McDonald's and fastfood put together
Getting ready for that GREAT TRUMP ECONOMY ON THE WAY. AMERICA FIRST
I went to the BK near me and waited outside the door for 10 minutes to decide if I want to order there or go somewhere else. I noticed the place was almost empty, except for one guy eating inside. If not for that guy sitting there, I thought the place was closed. It's crazy how their inflated prices killed off their loyal customers. At this point, it's cheaper to eat in a higher quality restaurant like Chili's.
Unlimited shrimp had nothing to do with Red Lobster's bankruptcy.
Dont spend your precious money at the restaurant. Buy groceries instead. Make food at home.
Chilis
They have to slash if they want to get their customers back. Their clientele is low middle class which can't afford constant price increases. 10% annual inflation under Biden/Kamala is similar to some third world countries. But for fine dining the price increases don't matter. So Dems elite can still enjoy their lives.
My husband and I were just talking tonight about going to Chili's on Friday. We love it there. Prices are good and the portions are big!
Wow awesome
Well we were all fleeced during the pandemic by auto dealerships, home prices and soft and hard goods retailers! Why not offer a veterans a happy meal and a senior happy as well! The only way to drop prices is to stop shopping!
Cooperate greed no surprise
Unlimited wings for 10$ and unlimited shrimp 🍤
President Obama (shadow President) controls Trump and give the real orders. Set it in stone.
I don’t support racist companies!!!🖕🏾 no matter what the price 🤡
Mcds can kiss it.aint paying 10$ for grey meat burger
Mcdonald's has the best deal. $5 for a large drink, double cheese burger, fries and 4 chicken nuggets!
Chili's is $10 and you're expected to tip 15%
Is the meat real meat thou?
Hi, welcome to Chili's!
All these restaurants are trash ……eat at home it's healthier and cheaper
Wow Chili's is cheaper than McDonald's
Bought a mcgridlle meal this morning…9.67, never again, unacceptable
Greed
i believe a lot of major businesses raised their prices to help Trump get elected. There was no reason for the price increase and now that he's been elected prices are starting to magically come down?!? I won't step foot in any of these restaurants. I haven't eaten MCD in a long time because the food makes me sick.
still wont touch that garbage at any price
McDonalds provided one of the MOST funding to Trump"s campaign and so I will not use my, little, hard earned money there. Better for my health anyways. Kind of a catch 22 cause those who eat there and end up with worse health I wish you well with whatever health insurance you have. I get it, McDonalds is corporation that is not about family.
BRING BACK MCDOUBLE FOR 2-3$
My experience with fast food restaurants since Covid: they never get the order right, food is always cold, service is terrible. This was tolerable at 2018 prices, but as it becomes more expensive the mistakes become more glaring. It’s unacceptable to keep raising the prices but the experience doesn’t get any better. Inflation is just an excuse. If you charge $15 for a value meal, you need to get the order right, and it needs to be hot and fresh.
You can buy 10 patties for $10 and you can make food for 10 subsequent Saturdays or Sundays. It is better than a large health bill later or you can also avoid bad customer service or encountering the Karens at restaurants.
Chili's is cheaper than McDonald's? Not after you tip! Long $TXRH & $WING!
Trump is going to change this BS. The crazy democrats started
I will say this, Chili's has always been solid! Not just on price but on quality of food. My favorite thing to get is the half rack of ribs!
