McPick 2 for $2.50 - Another McDonald's Trick to Rip You Off.

Well hello friends, thank you for stopping by and reading about the latest and greatest McDonald's trickery to beat you out of your pocket change. 

First of, here is the McDonald's McPick 2 for $2.50 menu that I have taken an actual picture of at the McDonald's location on Judge Ely Blvd in Abilene, TX:


The normal standard fare of slop. But stop, wait a minute. Wasn't the McDouble on the McPick 2 for $2 menu back in January of 2016? Now it is $1.39 ( a dubious 39% increase in eight months!) and even at 2 for $2.50 you are still doling out an extra 25% more (!) for the same wonderful piece of non-meat with a piece of non-cheese slammed in the middle all between your non-bread and doled with condiments that are the only flavor. Yum. 

But that isn't the worst part about this McPick 2 for $2.50 "deal." Look at the price of the McChicken on the base menu. It is $1.19. 
Here it is again, highlighted:


So if you buy 2 via this "deal" then you are actually paying more by 0.11 than by buying each one individually since doing it per the menu board only brings the total to $2.38. 

Only McDonald's comes up with schemes and tricks this flagrant, brass and stupid to fool people that still eat there for some ungodly reason into thinking they are getting a good deal when in reality, they are getting ripped off to no end.

You think eleven cents doesn't matter? Multiply that by millions of customers daily. Eleven cents matters in the world of volume my friends.

Thank you for reading and remember, stay vigilant, as these big box chains will stop at nothing to pad their bottom lines for the 1% that live off of stock profits in America. 

McDonald's has sunk so low that they have resorted to stealing your pocket change and making you believe you are getting a deal as shown here.

We shouldn't be surprised anymore, should we?
