McDonald's customers expressed dissatisfaction with the "skimpy" offerings in its new $5 value deal and its limited one-month duration. The deal includes a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, four Chicken McNuggets, and a small drink. Critics on social media argued that the promotion should be a permanent price, pointing out that competitors like Wendy's offer similar deals continuously. McDonald’s responded by highlighting their commitment to providing value, noting that 90% of franchisees offer meal bundles for $4 or less, despite recent price hikes due to inflation.
