    These exact reasons are why places like Buc-ees, Sheets, and Chick-fil-A are doing so damn well. People actually feel like they are getting something they want (good, fast, and/or cheap), when compared to McDs which somehow provides none of them.

      Sheetz is no longer all that cheap. Chicken tenders and a drink (no fries) are now close to $11. Still fast and tasty though.

      Well not familiar with sheets but you certainly aren’t getting cheap on the other two. Fast though yeah.

      Chick-fil-a is good and fast, but not cheap.

          You’d lose that argument.

              Great, now how much is a McChicken and what can you buy from Chick-fil-a for a similar price?

              What kind of deals does each restaurant offer?

              Right now you’re just telling me Mcdonald’s is the same price as Chick-fil-a because you don’t know how to order cheap food.

                Nah, you can go do that work and try to prove your point, I’m not doing it for you. You said Chick Fil A is NOT cheap, but I just proved that their chicken sandwich is cheaper than McDonald’s.

                  Why are you ignoring the price of the McChicken?

                    Because it’s not a comparable sandwich, it is a value item.

                    McCrispy is literally McDonald’s answer to the Chick Fil A and Popeye’s craze from a while ago.
