McDonald’s Customer Pays $17 for 3 Sandwiches
User @NatalieNeurnberger posted the video on TikTok complaining of the absurd pricing at her local McDonald’s. “I ordered three Filet-O-Fishes—not the meal, just the sandwiches—tell my why it was $17!” she said in her video. “For three Filet-O-Fishes! I’m not crazy! I sat there and blinked my eyes, and then I just pulled away because I was so angry.”
“$17 for three Filet-O-Fishes at McDonald’s? Are you kidding me?” she closed the video, still very upset with her experience. The video received a lot of attention from other TikTokers, garnering over 115K likes and over 5,000 comments from other outraged customers.
