Infuriatig "Big" Mac is now Little Mac 🤬

Payed €6.40 in France for a "Big Mac" that's smaller than a McChicken

Edit: To answer "Why McDonald's?" Every time I travel outside of the United States, I like to compare McDonald's from that country and see if the quality is indeed better.

After this experience, my "try out McDonald's" experience in other countries has likely ended.

In France (I don't know about elsewhere), eating at McDonald's has become way more expensive than eating at a real restaurant. McDonald's has turned ridiculously expensive for cold burgers and fries, plus missing items in your order.

In my opinion, McDonald's has become the ultimate scam.

I stopped eating there when my usual order jumped from €12 to €17.

There are so many easy and cheap meals to make that I only get McDonald's if I'm on a long trip with my children and it is the only convenient place to eat. Personally I like grabbing one of those Japanese golden curry packages and cooking up some rice and a bit of chicken or sausage.
