    Expensive and slow. I don’t mind waiting for the food to be cooked if it reduces waste, but the “restaurant” experience is now awful in the UK. Most of the offers on the app are for delivery only. Then have to wait alongside a queue of uber drivers with giant boxes.

    I feel Mcdonalds have given up on the restaurant sit down experience. I believe they may end up with a subscription based home delivery service, where they don’t need to worry about front of house staff and can just send out like warm boxes while raising the monthly price. We seen what happened when Disney gave up everything and tried to go all in with Disney Plus.

    Mcdonalds was never about quality, but a fun cheap fast place to grab a bite. It’s a shame because I do have some fun memories, yet another example of late stage capitalism.

      Yep, any time I’ve been inside a Maccy’s since covid has been a long wait while countless delivery drivers walk past and pick up online orders. I’ve tried delivery and it’s been shit every time, lukewarm food with soggy fries. I don’t think their food is suited to delivery, IMO it’s only popular because of momentum.
