McDonald\u2019s accused of \u201crobbing\u201d customers with extra takeout fee TikTok\/costakid2\/PixabayA couple of McDonald\u2019s customers are accusing the beloved burger franchise of \u201crobbing\u201d them after discovering an extra fee for getting food to go. McDonald\u2019s reputation for having affordable fast food has taken a bit of a hit in recent months with combos costing nearly $20 at some locations and extra costs certainly aren\u2019t helping matters. All this fuss even resulted in McDonald\u2019s CEO promising to lower costs, but that hasn\u2019t stopped customers from continuing to express their outrage. In a video making rounds on TikTok with almost 2M views in just one day, a McDonald\u2019s customer was left flabbergasted after discovering there was an added fee for a bag. McDonald\u2019s customers outraged by bag fee When TikToker \u2018costakid2\u2019 was ordering from a kiosk inside of the McDonald\u2019s restaurant, he was shocked to see a \u00a30.05 fee, around $0.06 USD, if he wanted a bag for takeout. \u201cThis is a f**king piss take, bro,\u201d he slammed. \u201cHow have I just pulled up to McDonald\u2019s and they\u2019re trying to charge me \u00a30.05 for a bag? What?\u201d Costakid2 then showed the reaction of another customer who was equally as put off as he was about having to pay extra just for a bag. \u201cMcDonald\u2019s is robbing us,\u201d he captioned the video along with the description, \u201cCost of living hits hard.\u201d In the comments, users expressed similar disgust with some noting how other locations have been doing this. \u201cSan Francisco mcd\u2019s did this. I was floored,\u201d one wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s just 5p. Next month it will be 50p watch,\u201d another remarked. This news comes as customers began to suspect McDonald\u2019s was shrinking its iconic Quarter Pounder, resulting in a former chef chiming in and trying to set the matter straight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
