Did you know that ordering less food from McDonald’s can actually cost you *more*? McDonald’s is currently facing severe backlash from customers for steadily increasing prices and introducing a controversial “small order fee” on its McDelivery platform. This infuriating charge, which can range from $2 to $3.50, applies to orders that don’t meet a minimum threshold, typically between $10 and $15. Many customers are irate, with some on Reddit labeling it “ridiculous and disgusting,” especially since the primary workaround within the McDelivery app is simply to add more items to your cart. While McDonald’s states the fee covers fixed delivery costs for smaller orders, making them “worth it,” a savvy solution exists for those unwilling to splurge. Since McDelivery relies on DoorDash and Uber Eats as its couriers, ordering directly through these third-party apps can often provide lower minimums or even waive fees entirely for subscription members like DashPass or Uber One. This clever strategy allows customers to potentially bypass the extra charge without increasing their food order, offering significant savings. This situation truly highlights the hidden costs of convenience in the fast-food world. For more shocking consumer secrets and money-saving hacks, be sure to subscribe to our channel!
