McDonald's Australia faces huge problem trends now
Australians are calling out McDonald's for almost doubling the price of popular food items as the fast food chain battles with the soaring costs of ingredients as inflation continues to bite.
One Aussie went as far to say the new prices were a 'joke' in a Reddit thread where users shared what 'subtle signs' of a recession they had been noticing.
