McDonalds Employee: "We charge two dollars for a large iced coffee instead of getting a soda"

Me: "well I don't want a large. I didn't even say large. I just want whatever coffee I can get that's the same price. I'm getting plain coffee, so I don't see why that should cost extra anyway"

"Sorry, all our coffee prices are two dollars. You have to pay two dollars even if you don't get a large"

....wow. McDonalds is really losing their grip on reality. No wonder there was only like 3 cars in the drive thru during lunch rush.

Yeah the small plain coffee costing extra with breakfast combo is dumb. I don't want overly sugared orange juice with my already high calorie breakfast

Its weird because coffee is cheaper than OJ but its not serious enough for me to bother people over it

15% is significant.

And really it's more the dumb pricing. You have to pay for a large worth of something even if you get a smaller size.

Percentages can be deceiving. Im not going to complain if my gum price increases from 50 cents to 65 cents even though that is a 30% increase

It depends on your area and the management. Some stores are franchises and some are corporate as well.

In many areas, sodas are discounted to $1 any size to get people to come in. Some places make the same deal witb coffees and some make the coffee more expensive to up sell iced coffees.

Did you get a combo or something? Any coffee is definitely going to be an upcharge over the soda that comes with the combo, regardless of size and temperature.

That makes no sense. Why is coffee cheaper at sit down restaurants than soda, then?

You mean more expensive?

Because the ingrediants are more expensive and its more work to make it, especially In places that do the milk and sugar for you

No. Most restaurants it's like 2.50 for bottomless soda and less than 2.00 for bottomless coffee.

coffee is just ground coffee beans and water while soda is carbonated water and flavoring which is probably more expensive to make

Exactly. Which is why I don't understand why I have to pay an extra $1 to get a cup of coffee instead of a soda when getting a meal from McDonalds.

They aren't trying to compete with $2 restaurant coffee. Their competition is $3+ Starbucks coffee. That's the only thing they need to be cheaper than.

It's only $1 but I'm not getting an extra dollar worth of substance. I'm getting coffee. Cheap, simple coffee.

What if you liked to buy a little tootsie roll after work every day for 10 cents, and then one day they're like "that'll be $1.10", would you be willing to pay that one extra dollar? I wouldn't.

Orange juice is more expensive here. Small coffee is a dollar and the default for breakfast meals

I've been on CE long enough to know exactly where this topic was headed before I even hit the submit button.

It is a very minor grievance. But that's why I'm bitching here and not raising hell at McDonald's. I calmly asked them to cancel my order and I went to Burger King instead, where I was able to get a coffee with my meal at no extra charge.

IIRC it costs like a nickel to fill up a soda from the fountain. Soda is one of the single biggest markup items that restaurants serve

Is there even anything as powerful as an Egg McMuffin at BK?
