Makes sense that McDonalds would use price discrimination on the basis of willingness to study the menu—they want to pick up the very bottom of the market that needs the help.
Yes, it does. Maybe it works better now with kiosk and app ordering, because in the past, in practice, they never gave the cashiers enough info on what the deals were for them to reliably enter them into the registers anyway. Even if you ordered with the exact same words you’d sometimes get quoted different prices depending on who was working.
I very rarely eat McD’s anymore, it just always struck me as kinda extreme in how complicated they made ordering. AFAIK none of the other fast food chains do that.
