Same down here in Australia! Maccas costs over $20 AUD for a reasonable meal (last time I was there a few years ago), but the same amount can be spent for way better food at my local restaurants. It's usually cheaper and tastier to go somewhere "nice".
The proof is right there, the sheer fact they lowered prices in an attempt to increase revenue, is enough proof to say they didn't need to increase the prices that high to begin with.
It was sheer greed the whole time. I work in fast food and we recently changed our prices. A coworker asked our manager if the prices were going up or down and she said “we never LOWER our prices”
Ehh, we have an extremely low stock of beef in America currently. I purchase stuff for my company and some of that is beef derived. Beef sources currently are the highest cost they've been since we started tracking in 2013. It's something like double the cost.

That actually sounds more appealing than "textured vegetable protein" I was assuming. Not gonna lie, I've been frequenting Sonic more than I should thanks to the $1.99 menu and half priced drinks.
Walmart already does surge pricing. I took a car battery off a shelf that was priced at $159, when I scanned it at self-checkout the price was somehow $220. I asked for a manager to correct the price and he said "We don't do price match anymore." I said I'm asking you to match your OWN price as advertised on shelf. He said oh those prices are incorrect we just haven't had time to change the labels. I went back a week later and the SAME PRICE TAG was on those shelves. No time my ass. They were practicing surge pricing - All of walmart's products change prices via information pulled from the internet. My battery price increased apparently because those specific batteries were low in stock, thus decreasing supply and since I wanted to buy it - the demand was artificially increased by the self-checkout computer which also raised my price. I took the battery back to the automotive section and the manager back there honored the sticker price and told me "Yeah that's been happening a lot more often lately, I don't know why the front manager wouldn't match our own store price. That battery hasn't changed price in months."
That's illegal. They're obligated to give you the price advertised on the shelf. Bring it to the attention of your state's consumer protection agency--the exact name will vary a little depending on the state. They take that kind of thing very seriously and will both fine Wal-Mart and get you money back.
turns out life isn't Roller Coaster Tycoon and you can't just keep raising prices on umbrellas and bathrooms and the people will just magically have more money.
KFC pretending like they didn't have a $5 fillup this entire time is fkn wild. They axed it and then almost immediately they're marketing "taste of kfc" with "real value"
I wonder, what part of the country are you in? I'm in California, and i haven't seen a $5 menu item at a kfc in years. The smallest meals were like, two sliders, and it was close to ten bucks. Fun fact: The fast food (and often grocery store) prices around my area are higher in more impoverished communities, I'm guessing because not everyone has a car to shop around in those areas.
I genuinely cannot remember a point in time during the last 20 years where KFC hasn't been perpetually mid at best... I was like 5 years old last time they were any good. Same for basically every other fast food joint TBCH
Dude, that Walmart price change screen is just asking to either get hacked to make it super cheap or be turned into something that can play DOOM. Since 90% of employees couldn't care less if a guy got an amazingly good deal, this could totally work.
I live in Sweden and we've had those digital price tag things here for years, they're super common. The thought never even crossed my mind that they could be used for surge pricing
All over Europe really. But so far it seems to be only for the cost saving of not dealing with paper stickers. Oh and not producing tons upon tons of unrecyclable thermal paper upon every price change is a bonus too. (Many people don't know, but the glossy thermal paper used in all label printers and receipt printers is not recyclable, unlike regular paper).
It's like a drug dealer that doesn't want their "customers" to get "clean", because once they do, they know they will never come back. Once people get used to making high quality meals for one tenth the price at home, they won't come back.
100%. Happened to me. Went vegetarian and as a result couldn't eat at any fast food places (their veg options tend to be "fries that may or may not have beef fat" "boring mushy salad" "ice cream"). Ended up cooking most of my meals and holy shit, the difference, what a shocker. Just learning how to cook saves you so much money in the long run, it's a great skill to have, and food tastes much better when you can customize it to your tastes. Not to mention how much weight I lost when I stopped pounding wendy's bacon cheeseburgers lmao
Re: Walmart e tags. I worked in a small grocery store, and it was a pain to replace all the tags. I can't imagine how bad it is for the giant Walmart stores. They're saving hundreds of hours of work (and therefore money) every month by using e tags. They're not stupid enough to do surge pricing, because literally everyone will flip the fuck out, and probably pass a law to stop it. It just makes sense from a cost saving perspective.
I used to work at a few different stores, Walmart included. This is definitely going to save time, sanity, and money, and it will ensure that the prices are being correctly displayed. Sometimes, prices tags aren't replaced before the actual price is changes so this helps with that
@@JohnathanCurrencyTheres nothing I hate more than buying an item and finding out I just got scammed because it costs more than what the tag said, but I don’t really have the option to back out since I already decided to buy it.
People are too paranoid even though this will be a great cost saver for them, surge pricing will destroy their customer base and other stores will take advantage if they did it
The only reason people are freaking out is because an executive mentioned it could be used for surge pricing - if they had just changed the tags silently then they could've avoided the bad PR.
I don't care how little it is, if the machine at BK tells me my price increased by 30 cents for no reason, i'm getting food somewhere else and leaving a bad review.

@@quinnco9 and unless I'm eating there everyday the same thing, I would not notice the 30c change as long as they don't change the price as I'm using it (and notify me of it!)...
What pisses me off the most is these $5 meals are the same portions as the kids meals used to be. They are selling up charged kids meals as a full meal for an adult.
The sad part is that these $5 meal deals have 1000+ calories in them. Unfortunately, with extremely processed grains and an excessive amount of fat from shitty meat and oils used for frying, you will feel hungrier way sooner than from a home cooked meal using natural whole grain and lean meat ingredients. Especially once you take into account blood sugar spiking and all that. There's a lot more that goes into, but I'm drunk. The fast food industry is engineered to be addictive
Even if you buy pre-made meals from the supermarket. The fancy Kevin's meals with no artificial ingredients are $10 for 2 full meals, just add rice and a vegetable (like $1-2). So for $7 all in you're eating a nice hot meal in less time than it takes to go out.
Really cool to hear him talk so in depth about the fentanyl epidemic. Addiction and recovery is part of my story, and I have seen friends (some as young as 22) who also struggled with SUD pass away from this shit. I've met 18 year olds in meetings who got addicted in high school desperately struggling to get clean instead of going to college like they planned. The disease of addiction doesn't discriminate based on race or wealth. Fentanyl is both powerful, and prevalent enough to entice anyone with addictive tendencies to ruin their lives, regardless of their background. It only takes a single moment of desperation and you are either hooked, dead, or if you're lucky- narcaned and sent to rehab. If anyone out there has a friend/roommate/loved one that you're concerned about, who seems withdrawn and like a ghost of themselves, reach out to them. Once they're in the hole all they can do by themselves is dig deeper. Even if they want to escape. It takes compassion, and a stern helping hand from a friend to pull themselves out. Go to the pharmacy and ask them for narcan (naloxone) nasal spray to keep on hand. It could save your friends life if worst comes to worst.
I'm in college and the school has a program to reduce alcohol and drug use because some departments are huge on parties and we usually have a few deaths a year from substances. The program recently started giving out naloxone/narcan nasal spray and pins to keep on your back so people know you have it. It seems like this is becoming more common at colleges so if anyone in the comments is in college or near a pharmacy that gives these out, please go ask! It takes 5 minutes to learn how to use them and put them in your bag. Also, in Canada, the injectible version is more common although people are starting to push for the nasal spray (it's safer for the person giving the naloxone because there are no body fluids involved). If you live in Canada, please consider supporting these initiatives! The safer and easier it is for someone untrained to intervene, the more lives will be saved. People can't go to rehab if they're dead.
Thank you Mcdonalds! You taught my wife and I that we can have a nice steak, salad, and potato dinner with a cheap wine that is way more delicious and healthy. Fast food prices have finally forced me to learn how to grill and I'm lovin' it!
Similar here in Germany. The Hamburger at McD was 1,00€ at the beginning of 2020, and now, it‘s 1,99€. They started a value deal in December 2022, two small burgers (Cheese or Chicken), medium frink and fries for 5,99€, which was replicated by Burger King. They‘re still running the deal, let‘s see how long they‘ll keep it
Fentanyl is scary af. I live on a hill in a middle class neighborhood and no one could even tell you what it is. Exactly 4 streets down, less than a quarter mile away, there’s a run down neighborhood where every day there’s a funeral for someone who OD’d. The people who run the town either have no idea, or are purposely letting it filter out their idea of undesirable people. It’s only a matter of time until that problem moves 4 streets over and the middle class people who don’t know what fentanyl is are introduced to an opioid alternative that can help them. I hope pre emptive education will help but we all see how well that did in the past.
Tell everyone you can, and dont shut up about it! Someone might be upset but you also might save a life. I'll be clean from fent/crack for 16 months on the 23rd
Oh they’ll keep this price is people refuse to accept their absence. As soon as you see a price that makes you in the least bit uncomfortable, leave. The fact that they are doing this shows that people are beginning to say no.
I have been saying NO to the prices, lesser quality and fewer many options for years now! Screw them! If I can get a takeout meal from Applebee's and Chili's there is a problem and I will absolutely choose the better quality food for the same price!
There was a yahoo finance article about the fast food wars. One line that stuck out to me said that price wars hurts everyone yeah everyone except the consumer.
that moment when you roll up to walmart and see that your nutella costs 4.99$, and after you get to the counter and ring it up you see it just went up to an easy $6.00
The amount of fights customers are going to have with Walmart employees at the checkout line when they realise that the cereal that was 5.99 goes up to 8.99 from the walk of the cereal isle to the checkout line is going to be insane 😂

I love the way you (/your cowriters, editors, what have you) structured the wazzup beijing segment in terms of what different groups of people want vs. what they have. Marketing goat
For the past like 8 years we’ve been seeing major price increases across the board. Problem is inflation stopped spiking in like 2021. But they still raised prices. It was never about “inflation”. It’s about greed.
My first time watching one of your videos. The way you flawlessly transitions between current events made me subscribe. I had to look at the title of the video to remember what I clicked on LOL.

The electric price tags are already a thing in Canada. I work at a loblaws owned grocery store (the real Canadian superstore, creative name I know), and these tags have been in use for close to a year at this point. Since this change has been implemented I have noticed the prices going up a lot more frequently. Often time customers will notice and point out the change in price to me and that’s how I find out the price has changed at all.
I'm autistic and I worked at a family-owned specialty grocery store in the past. After being there a few months I memorized the price of every item in the store (I would check the obscure things nobody ever buys when bringing returned goods back and everything). Every price increase was immediately on my radar and I really have to give that place props. I worked there for three years including through covid and prices barely budged. I literally never remember seeing any of the floor workers changing the tags we did use either. A lot of items didn't have tags and instead we used stickers from a price sticker gun. It worked pretty well and if someone stickered the item wrong in the customer's favor, that was the item's new price until someone could go fix the stickers.They were an expensive, rich people store but truly only raised their prices to match inflation. I was always really proud of working there.
I went to Burger King recently, out of desperation since I was driving, and I looked over the menu pretty carefully. If you just order a cheese burger you can get them cheap. But add bacon? You can more than double the price. I’ve noticed this at several fast food joints. Buy the most basic items, any specialty item or “big” item will cost double to triple while offering only marginally more food than just keeping it simple; cheese burger, tacos, etc.
I don't think most people want value meals the way they are selling it. We want cheap dollar menu items we can buy in bulk. As a teenager I went to mcdonalds cuz I could get 10 big macs and 10 mcchickens for $20 and bring it back to 5 people tryna make a failed band. I get why a mcdpublee can't be $1 anymore, but $3.65 for a single value menu burger is just insane.
All I am saying is that IN-N-OUT has raised prices by a dollar or less these past few years. You can buy an entire combo meal for super cheap compared to other fast food locations and the food is fresh and delicious. Corporate greed has caused these companies to learn that people will not pay whatever they want to fast food. If your food is $1-$4 cheaper than the family owned restaurant down the road. trust me when I say that most people will go there instead. I'm just happy these companies are finally learning their lessons.
In-n-out is a privately held company. They aren’t beholden to the markets. So they can afford to sacrifice some profits to keep prices low during a period of high inflation to keep customers for the long term. Whereas McDonald’s needs to worry about quarterly earnings reports and keeping their stock price high.
@@extr3mev0id19in n out is not sacrificing profits or else they would be dead. They don't have to make shareholders profits which keeps them competitive
Sometimes I think you treat your audience too harshly, but then I scroll through the comments of one of the hardest hitting marketing mondays I've ever seen and I understand that most of your audience are just not fucking funny. Great video and I appreciate your seriousness towards the end of it.
I was in Texas a few months ago (I currently live in New Mexico) and I saw a commercial for Chili's. The tagline was "fast food is so expensive it's like they *want* you to eat at Chili's". And I thought, yeah, that's a very good point. At any rate, I believe wholeheartedly in a free market economy but we have to realize that people are not good people at heart. A business CEO is not just going to drop prices out of the goodness of their hearts (they might if it's a mom and pop business but not a huge corporation like McDonald's or Burger King). So consumers need to speak with their wallets. If prices are getting out of hand, stop going there. If they lose business, they'll either dig in their heels and go out of business or they'll start lowering prices to a price that consumers are willing to pay. Competition is the backbone of a free market economy. Competition is good for consumers whether it's in buying products or finding work.
In SE Asia fast food pricing wars plus delivery app pricing wars mean you can get the $5 BK meal delivered to your door for $3 total after delivery app discounts, unsustainable but winning with double gouging on shareholders
The 5$ value meals are 'limited time', but you'll soon see that they become a full-time menu option. They have already done the same in Australia over a year ago and it succeeded. What it does is brings back consumers with the enticing 5$ offer (that you can only purchase once per MyMaccas Account) per day, whereupon you realise it doesn't satiate your needs, so you order an extra burger or side (where McDonalds or other business makes their money on). Also repeat business in the long-run is more valuable for these companies. It's a very smart marketing tactic that works for already established large corporations.
Fast food is so expensive that it’s cheaper for me to get takeout from a local restaurant and I get significantly more food for the price. Now I never get fast food these days because it doesn’t make sense.

The price surging is crazy. In Mexico they would get sued into oblivion. The PROFECO (consumer protection) is sharp on that. If a tag says 1.999 instead of 1,999, the consumer gets a TV for 2 pesos. It has happened many times. The tag at the moment you picked up the item from the shelf is king.
Hey atrioc, I work for Walmart and that article about the labels has went viral EVERYWHERE and everyone is misrepresenting it and it’s really frustrating. I cannot stress enough how much better the digital labels are compared to paper labels. Walmart sells hundreds of THOUSANDS of items and printing out and changing paper labels takes so so long. The prices on every item is determined by Home Office and we still have to physically update the labels to change the price that is read on the label. Digital labels is good for the consumer and the workers.

Walmart already does surge pricing. I took a car battery off a shelf that was priced at $159, when I scanned it at self-checkout the price was somehow $220. I asked for a manager to correct the price and he said "We don't do price match anymore." I said I'm asking you to match your OWN price as advertised on shelf. He said oh those prices are incorrect we just haven't had time to change the labels. I went back a week later and the SAME PRICE TAG was on those shelves. No time my ass. They were practicing surge pricing - All of walmart's products change prices via information pulled from the internet. My battery price increased apparently because those specific batteries were low in stock, thus decreasing supply and since I wanted to buy it - the demand was artificially increased by the self-checkout computer which also raised my price.
I took the battery back to the automotive section and the manager back there honored the sticker price and told me "Yeah that's been happening a lot more often lately, I don't know why the front manager wouldn't match our own store price. That battery hasn't changed price in months."
I don't think that's surge pricing I think that manager was just not doing her job because if the tag is there in the store is SHOULD be pricematched
“I’m asking you to match your OWN price” lmaoo damn they tried
That's illegal. They're obligated to give you the price advertised on the shelf. Bring it to the attention of your state's consumer protection agency--the exact name will vary a little depending on the state. They take that kind of thing very seriously and will both fine Wal-Mart and get you money back.
That's literally a crime
Price matching stopped a good while ago like at least 5 yrs ago we were told they don't do it anymore when my fiances dad tried to do it

KFC pretending like they didn't have a $5 fillup this entire time is fkn wild. They axed it and then almost immediately they're marketing "taste of kfc" with "real value"
I used to get the $5 famous bowl but then they got rid of the coleslaw and biscuit in that combo deal.
I wonder, what part of the country are you in? I'm in California, and i haven't seen a $5 menu item at a kfc in years. The smallest meals were like, two sliders, and it was close to ten bucks. Fun fact: The fast food (and often grocery store) prices around my area are higher in more impoverished communities, I'm guessing because not everyone has a car to shop around in those areas.

@@Woad25sweden… the murder capital of europe 😂
All over Europe really. But so far it seems to be only for the cost saving of not dealing with paper stickers. Oh and not producing tons upon tons of unrecyclable thermal paper upon every price change is a bonus too. (Many people don't know, but the glossy thermal paper used in all label printers and receipt printers is not recyclable, unlike regular paper).
@@Woad25 Think again
I was shocked to discover this wasn't customary in America...
It's like a drug dealer that doesn't want their "customers" to get "clean", because once they do, they know they will never come back. Once people get used to making high quality meals for one tenth the price at home, they won't come back.
100%. Happened to me. Went vegetarian and as a result couldn't eat at any fast food places (their veg options tend to be "fries that may or may not have beef fat" "boring mushy salad" "ice cream"). Ended up cooking most of my meals and holy shit, the difference, what a shocker. Just learning how to cook saves you so much money in the long run, it's a great skill to have, and food tastes much better when you can customize it to your tastes. Not to mention how much weight I lost when I stopped pounding wendy's bacon cheeseburgers lmao

Re: Walmart e tags. I worked in a small grocery store, and it was a pain to replace all the tags. I can't imagine how bad it is for the giant Walmart stores. They're saving hundreds of hours of work (and therefore money) every month by using e tags. They're not stupid enough to do surge pricing, because literally everyone will flip the fuck out, and probably pass a law to stop it. It just makes sense from a cost saving perspective.
We've had these "new" digital tags for a decade in my country xD there is something else going on, 100%
I used to work at a few different stores, Walmart included. This is definitely going to save time, sanity, and money, and it will ensure that the prices are being correctly displayed. Sometimes, prices tags aren't replaced before the actual price is changes so this helps with that
@@JohnathanCurrencyTheres nothing I hate more than buying an item and finding out I just got scammed because it costs more than what the tag said, but I don’t really have the option to back out since I already decided to buy it.
People are too paranoid even though this will be a great cost saver for them, surge pricing will destroy their customer base and other stores will take advantage if they did it
The only reason people are freaking out is because an executive mentioned it could be used for surge pricing - if they had just changed the tags silently then they could've avoided the bad PR.
I don't care how little it is, if the machine at BK tells me my price increased by 30 cents for no reason, i'm getting food somewhere else and leaving a bad review.

Fast food companies are forgetting their only selling point is being slightly more convenient than making food at home.
What pisses me off the most is these $5 meals are the same portions as the kids meals used to be. They are selling up charged kids meals as a full meal for an adult.
The sad part is that these $5 meal deals have 1000+ calories in them. Unfortunately, with extremely processed grains and an excessive amount of fat from shitty meat and oils used for frying, you will feel hungrier way sooner than from a home cooked meal using natural whole grain and lean meat ingredients. Especially once you take into account blood sugar spiking and all that. There's a lot more that goes into, but I'm drunk.
The fast food industry is engineered to be addictive
In conclusion: cook from home.

Even if you buy pre-made meals from the supermarket. The fancy Kevin's meals with no artificial ingredients are $10 for 2 full meals, just add rice and a vegetable (like $1-2). So for $7 all in you're eating a nice hot meal in less time than it takes to go out.
Thank you. You saved me 20 minutes of my life!!
Really cool to hear him talk so in depth about the fentanyl epidemic. Addiction and recovery is part of my story, and I have seen friends (some as young as 22) who also struggled with SUD pass away from this shit. I've met 18 year olds in meetings who got addicted in high school desperately struggling to get clean instead of going to college like they planned. The disease of addiction doesn't discriminate based on race or wealth. Fentanyl is both powerful, and prevalent enough to entice anyone with addictive tendencies to ruin their lives, regardless of their background. It only takes a single moment of desperation and you are either hooked, dead, or if you're lucky- narcaned and sent to rehab.
If anyone out there has a friend/roommate/loved one that you're concerned about, who seems withdrawn and like a ghost of themselves, reach out to them. Once they're in the hole all they can do by themselves is dig deeper. Even if they want to escape. It takes compassion, and a stern helping hand from a friend to pull themselves out. Go to the pharmacy and ask them for narcan (naloxone) nasal spray to keep on hand. It could save your friends life if worst comes to worst.
I'm in college and the school has a program to reduce alcohol and drug use because some departments are huge on parties and we usually have a few deaths a year from substances. The program recently started giving out naloxone/narcan nasal spray and pins to keep on your back so people know you have it. It seems like this is becoming more common at colleges so if anyone in the comments is in college or near a pharmacy that gives these out, please go ask! It takes 5 minutes to learn how to use them and put them in your bag. Also, in Canada, the injectible version is more common although people are starting to push for the nasal spray (it's safer for the person giving the naloxone because there are no body fluids involved). If you live in Canada, please consider supporting these initiatives! The safer and easier it is for someone untrained to intervene, the more lives will be saved. People can't go to rehab if they're dead.

Fentanyl is scary af. I live on a hill in a middle class neighborhood and no one could even tell you what it is. Exactly 4 streets down, less than a quarter mile away, there’s a run down neighborhood where every day there’s a funeral for someone who OD’d. The people who run the town either have no idea, or are purposely letting it filter out their idea of undesirable people.
It’s only a matter of time until that problem moves 4 streets over and the middle class people who don’t know what fentanyl is are introduced to an opioid alternative that can help them. I hope pre emptive education will help but we all see how well that did in the past.

The electric price tags are already a thing in Canada. I work at a loblaws owned grocery store (the real Canadian superstore, creative name I know), and these tags have been in use for close to a year at this point. Since this change has been implemented I have noticed the prices going up a lot more frequently. Often time customers will notice and point out the change in price to me and that’s how I find out the price has changed at all.
I'm autistic and I worked at a family-owned specialty grocery store in the past. After being there a few months I memorized the price of every item in the store (I would check the obscure things nobody ever buys when bringing returned goods back and everything). Every price increase was immediately on my radar and I really have to give that place props. I worked there for three years including through covid and prices barely budged. I literally never remember seeing any of the floor workers changing the tags we did use either. A lot of items didn't have tags and instead we used stickers from a price sticker gun. It worked pretty well and if someone stickered the item wrong in the customer's favor, that was the item's new price until someone could go fix the stickers.They were an expensive, rich people store but truly only raised their prices to match inflation. I was always really proud of working there.

Awesome video, glad this showed up in my recommended
I went to Burger King recently, out of desperation since I was driving, and I looked over the menu pretty carefully. If you just order a cheese burger you can get them cheap. But add bacon? You can more than double the price. I’ve noticed this at several fast food joints. Buy the most basic items, any specialty item or “big” item will cost double to triple while offering only marginally more food than just keeping it simple; cheese burger, tacos, etc.
I don't think most people want value meals the way they are selling it. We want cheap dollar menu items we can buy in bulk.
As a teenager I went to mcdonalds cuz I could get 10 big macs and 10 mcchickens for $20 and bring it back to 5 people tryna make a failed band.
I get why a mcdpublee can't be $1 anymore, but $3.65 for a single value menu burger is just insane.
All I am saying is that IN-N-OUT has raised prices by a dollar or less these past few years. You can buy an entire combo meal for super cheap compared to other fast food locations and the food is fresh and delicious. Corporate greed has caused these companies to learn that people will not pay whatever they want to fast food. If your food is $1-$4 cheaper than the family owned restaurant down the road. trust me when I say that most people will go there instead. I'm just happy these companies are finally learning their lessons.
In-n-out is a privately held company. They aren’t beholden to the markets. So they can afford to sacrifice some profits to keep prices low during a period of high inflation to keep customers for the long term. Whereas McDonald’s needs to worry about quarterly earnings reports and keeping their stock price high.
That’s the thing, they’re learning but in a few months the prices are gonna skyrocket

@@extr3mev0id19in n out is not sacrificing profits or else they would be dead. They don't have to make shareholders profits which keeps them competitive
Sometimes I think you treat your audience too harshly, but then I scroll through the comments of one of the hardest hitting marketing mondays I've ever seen and I understand that most of your audience are just not fucking funny. Great video and I appreciate your seriousness towards the end of it.
I was in Texas a few months ago (I currently live in New Mexico) and I saw a commercial for Chili's. The tagline was "fast food is so expensive it's like they *want* you to eat at Chili's". And I thought, yeah, that's a very good point. At any rate, I believe wholeheartedly in a free market economy but we have to realize that people are not good people at heart. A business CEO is not just going to drop prices out of the goodness of their hearts (they might if it's a mom and pop business but not a huge corporation like McDonald's or Burger King). So consumers need to speak with their wallets. If prices are getting out of hand, stop going there. If they lose business, they'll either dig in their heels and go out of business or they'll start lowering prices to a price that consumers are willing to pay. Competition is the backbone of a free market economy. Competition is good for consumers whether it's in buying products or finding work.

The 5$ value meals are 'limited time', but you'll soon see that they become a full-time menu option. They have already done the same in Australia over a year ago and it succeeded. What it does is brings back consumers with the enticing 5$ offer (that you can only purchase once per MyMaccas Account) per day, whereupon you realise it doesn't satiate your needs, so you order an extra burger or side (where McDonalds or other business makes their money on). Also repeat business in the long-run is more valuable for these companies. It's a very smart marketing tactic that works for already established large corporations.

Hey atrioc, I work for Walmart and that article about the labels has went viral EVERYWHERE and everyone is misrepresenting it and it’s really frustrating. I cannot stress enough how much better the digital labels are compared to paper labels. Walmart sells hundreds of THOUSANDS of items and printing out and changing paper labels takes so so long. The prices on every item is determined by Home Office and we still have to physically update the labels to change the price that is read on the label. Digital labels is good for the consumer and the workers.

We didn't get rfid cards until 10 years after Europe. US business owners refuse to move forward because it costs money so it hurts their bonuses.
@@jdawg4510 You think europeans dont think about monetary value?
Chilis has a massive chicken sandwich for $11 on the 3 for me deal. Sandwich, side, appetizer and drink. If you download the app you can get free chips & salsa and use the free appetizer on something else. That’s a LOT of food for $11.
Bro.. I don't know if you did this yourself or there's a team behind this. But damn this is GREAT. I'm new on this channel and got here because of the 10min. vs. 10 days vs. 10 years videos maybe like 4 days ago. And your sense of humor stood out for me and kept me entertained the whole time during something I was already interested in. So is an Uber plus for me. This video blew my mind, you definitely or y'all definitely are talented, smart and should just keep doing what you're doing cause it's already interesting and you make it fun. I'm REALLY impressed with what I've seen so far, already subbed. Genuinely gave a like to everything I've seen and can honestly say that I feel like this channel is going to be my first actual favorite, and I'm 28. I'll definitely keep watching and binging over here. Keep having fun man, thanks for doing this! 🙏🏼💯💯💯
im sorry i cannot watch this video as i am british and we do not have food over the pond.
