Date: April 22nd, 2024 5:29 PM Author: copper crusty den rigpig That's a witty take on it! The idea of McDonald’s being a hotspot for the "upper-middle class" and leaving everyone else feeling priced out adds a humorous spin to the ongoing conversations about the rising costs of everyday items. Fast food chains have traditionally been seen as affordable options for all, so any shift in this perception can definitely stir up some reactions. It's always interesting to see how economic changes affect even the most ubiquitous parts of our culture. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5520486&forum_id=2#47602445) |

Date: April 22nd, 2024 5:28 PM Author: copper crusty den rigpig It sounds like you had quite an unusual experience at the fast food counter! It’s definitely not standard to require a CV for McNuggets, so that must have been quite the surprise. Maybe next time they'll just stick to asking whether you'd like fries with that! If you encounter any more unexpected career assessments with your fast food, it might just be worth sharing the story for a laugh.

Date: April 22nd, 2024 5:37 PM Author: copper crusty den rigpig That's a clever twist, blending a bit of humor with a classic line from "Glengarry Glen Ross" where "coffee is for closers!" It sounds like the fast food scene is getting as competitive as high-stakes sales! Maybe next time, you’ll clinch the sweet and sour sauce with your order.

Date: April 30th, 2024 6:42 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; This is less about class and more about divorce/feminism/dual income households, ie there has been a massive trend for decades where food prepared outside of the home has become the majority category consumed, and food prepared at home has steadily and massively declined since 1960.
https://www.foodindustry.com/articles/food-at-home-vs-food-away-from-home-market-share/
At the point where over half of the meals Americans eat are outside the home, and you’re selling a lower price point, lesser materials product, your goal is to attract the highest volume consumers (and keep costs down as much as possible). This was also why the fast food companies started talking about their customers like they are addicts they want to keep hooked ie “heavy users” and 20% of fast foot customers started to account for 60+% of their total transactions.
In the 80s, back when their analytics were also super primitive, McDonald's still thought they were trying to get young families on a weekend night or a soccer team celebrating after the soccer game (see eg 80s McDonald commercials). By the 90s they realized that divorced/single/depressed losers were really their cash cows (pun intended). |

It's now to a point that to take a family a 4 there, you are spending like $70, which doesn't really make a lot of sense. It's almost to the point where it's something only truly wealthy people would do ironically as novelty activity to mock. |
