As fast food prices continue to rise, customers are feeling the pinch in their wallets. Now, a new charge has left McDonald’s patrons particularly irate: The fast food giant has started charging for bags in some areas.
In a recent viral TikTok video, user Amber, known as @amber.in.wonderland, has exposed McDonald’s for charging customers 15 cents for a paper bag. She’s not alone in her shock; commenters jumped in to express their own disappointment with rising prices and charges. Find all of the details below.
“Ok we’ve got to talk about something,” Amber begins her video. “Have any of you guys been to McDonald’s in the last week or two?” She explains her recent experience at a McDonald’s drive-thru, where she was unexpectedly asked if she wanted a bag for her food. “I went through the drive-thru, and they were like, ‘Would you like a bag for that?’ And I was like–I said no, because I was confused by it,” Amber recalls.
To her surprise, when she declined the bag, her food was handed to her in a clear plastic container. This created an awkward situation as she tried to empty the contents into her car while being watched by the drive-thru staff. “They hand you this clear, plastic container with all your food in it into the car. Then you have to sit there and they’re staring at you while you empty your fries, burger, condiments out of it, trying to find a spot for them in your car while you’re trying to hurry up because there’s someone behind you waiting,” she explains, her frustration palpable.
