I know we have higher minimum wages here but Macca's meals really should be $5-6, not $10-15.
You can get a good pizza for under $20, usually a couple of Asian dishes or a dish and rice for under $20, a lot of pubs have $15-20 specials. Yet Macca's still thrives selling mostly complete shit. Quarter pounder or one the angus thinks are OK, but that's about it.

My favourite Thai in regional Qld does a lunch speacial sit down $22 for 2
Nice building an old Victorian Bank
Chilli Prawns and Cashew Chicken and endless rice massive serve too
Free jugs of iced water and if the watermelons are cheap they give you a few slices for free at the end of the meal

How Maccas justifies $3.35 for a cheeseburger biggest ripoff should be about $1.50

the Hamburger is on the loose change menu. can you save money by adding cheese to it?
The amount of times they either forgot dinner rolls or something in their boxes is a joke.. Using Menulog or Uber Eats is more so I once ordered via Uber Eats when looking after the kids (who were asleep) and they forgot the wicked wings in the box. Couldn't take it back so I had to get a refund through UE.
Maccas are the same if you go through Apps..
It's what you get when you hire teenagers to manage teenagers. I now sit in the drive through and check everything before driving off.
Nope. They won't put it through and if they do, the worker cops a spray.
When I worked there out back people even tried to order a hamburger and a slice of cheese on the side. I got told to put it on the grill to melt it slightly and then put it into the container so it stuck to the box.

I've been making my own burgers since we locked back down when I get the crave (making my own lazy style, with patties, buns, etc. from the supermarket. Not making my own from first principles)
I got hold of some beetroot chutney from somewhere. Dolloping that on top of a bacon cheeseburger instead of sauce worked pretty well. Good alternative to the chilli tomato chutney I normally use.
I'd been fooling around with guac on the bottom bun too. Not sure it really adds anything. Need to compare one with and one without.
ETA: I once got screwed in the drivethru and got someone else's Cheeseburger special order: No meat, no onions, no sauce, no pickles, added mayo.
Yes: bun; cheese; mayo.
People are weird

Whatever happened to the Macca's $1 meal deal anyway?.... always came in handy as a cheap fill-up option as a poor student.
Long gone for the penny pincher $2 menu.. which you can only get a maximum of 2 items.

That's the point of the discussion.
So many other cheap options and people still queue up for it.

You can get a large big mac meal delivered to your door here in Malaysia for 24 ringgit which is about $8 in our money.
Apparently it is closer to $20 in Australia. Ouch.
Surely the Char kway teow is a better option
I love a good wonton noodle soup (dry) myself

Had some frozen party pasties yesterday for the footy
I dont think I will do that again
Just mush and the occasional piece of corn and beef fat taste but no sign of any meat
Margarine in the pastry is not great either

Has anyone tried the crunchy fried type pieces they have at Chicken Treat, I'd be very surprised if it would be any good but might get tempted one day.

'Crunchified' chicken. Other than two stores in Qld Chicken Treat is subject to Marko's hard border.
I actually don't know if I've ever tried their fried chicken. Will give it a try next time I see a Chicken Treat. Which will probably mean next time I am in the country.
As close to Lawsons as you will get ...might even be better
I'm a bit of a health nut but yesterday had a cheat day where I had anything I wanted. After having both KFC (original recipe burger and chips) for lunch and then Maccas (triple cheese burger and fries) for dinner, can safely say Maccas is better. I love the KFC chicken pieces but to me, a burger should be beef. Also the chips are KFC are never crisp
