Customers Can’t Believe These McDonald’s Price Increases

Naturally, recent customer reactions to these increases were impassioned and largely frustrated, with one user writing on an Aussie McDonald's Facebook page, "Have Mc Donald Filet-O-Fish always been this small? I don't remember it being mini, kid-size like this?!" Others pointed out how despite price increases, they felt their favorite McDonald's foods were "shrinking."

Another shopper added, "We had Big Macs last week. Not only have the buns shrunk but the meat patties were so thin we could see literally through them. Was as if they had sliced them in half." Someone else commented, "Just like the quarter pounder, got its name as it was a quarter pound of beef, it's barely that now," and another replied, "Inflated price...deflated goods."

A spokesperson for the giant fast food chain emphasized that "there have been no changes to the size of the burgers," as the Daily Mail reports, adding, "We are committed to offering our customers great quality, great value burgers featuring 100 per cent RSPCA approved chicken and 100 per cent Aussie beef."

In an official statement, McDonald's spoke to Daily Mail Australia about the price increases specifically, "As individual businesses, McDonald's prices are set at a restaurant level. Like all businesses, we review menu prices from time to time and consider several factors, including the higher-cost environment we are operating in." They continued, "While this may result in slight changes, Macca's is committed to delivering great value for our Aussie customers."
