McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski has recently been the talk of the

the Big Arch. This, at least for Chris, has proven to be a mistake.

Kempczinski really screwed up. It is obvious he does NOT like The
Big Arch.
There's a lot not to like, starting with the price. Even if one likes
vomit sauce, that's pricey vomit sauce.
I've only been to McD's once since the pandemic. I knew at the start
of the pandemic we'd have a round of serious inflation when it was
done given the heavy deficit spending pretty much all North American
and European governents were doing in the first half of 2020 but of
all the major "restaurant" companies, McDonalds seems to have raised
their prices more than almost anybody else AND they refused me a
voucher for a contest they were running that you only could
participate in via cell phone (which by choice I don't have following
a previous terrible billing experience with a cell provider when I
did) so I've not been back.
(Went through the drive thru once but kept going when I saw how high
they had raised their prices)
And for me, if the pricing has gone awry that's pretty powerful "vomit
sauce"
