    Macca’s like other modern corporations raises the prices to “what the market will support” in order to maximise profit.

    They raise the price until sales drop, then back off a bit. It’s about exploiting people’s desire for macca’s fast food to the greatest extent possible.

          I don’t call it Micky D’s either. It’s a corporate restaurant chain, not your little brother.

            Dude, that’s just how they call them in Australia. They do that with almost everything, McDonald’s isn’t getting any special attention.
            Get over yourself.

              Quite the opposite. Infantizing the name of a massive corporation makes them seem less like what they are. They’re not your friend.
