A McDonald’s outlet has come under fire for charging nearly $18 for a Big Mac meal – after the firm was accused of ‘greedflation.’
The Connecticut restaurant, located by a popular interstate, drew attention for its inflated menu prices – with other burger meals also listed for the same cost.
Diner Sam Learner wrote on Twitter: ‘This was at a rest stop but these McDonald’s prices are nuts right???’
He shared an image of the menu which showed a Big Mac meal which was listed as $17.59. The average price of the meal – which includes fries and a drink – is $8.64 in the U.S., according to MC-Menu.
The post attracted a flurry of retweets, with one user writing: ‘McDonald’s has lost their goddamn minds.’
