Should we boycott McDonalds?

Took my kids to a McD in a walmart store and she wanted tomato on her 99 cent sandwich. I was informed that it was going to be 69 cents to add a single slice of tomato to her sandwich.

I could of walked out of the store and into the produce department and bought an entire pound of them for 79 cents.

Do they think we are stupid?

    This is very upsetting, yes, but I don't think that is worthy of a boycott. Many times, a well written complaint letter to the right person will make an impact. One time I wrote to a bread company about a defective loaf of bread I bought, and company execs showed up at my door with the biggest basket of bread I have ever seen and their apologies (and I live out in the boondocks!!!). An email would be okay, but I find a real snail mail letter is best.

    The address is:

    McDonald's Corporation

    2111 McDonald's Drive

    Oak Brook IL,60523

    Things won't change until we try to have them changed. Good luck!

    Yes, everyone should boycott them. McDonalds is a disgusting company with horrible food. Not to mention the ridiculousness of charging you 69 cents for a tomato slice when it should have come with the sandwich anyway.

    Yes they do and now the corporate creeps have made the french fries a smaller portion but they never lowered the price . I am fed up with them and their coke is terrible. Check out the picture of the full slice of cheese on the menu of the fish but when you get it it is a one inch sliver of rubber. If you say give me a full slice like you put on the big mac they say we have to charge you for double cheese.When you email them they just send a letter to the store that you were dissatisfied and email an apology to you .

    That IS a rip off but on the other hand 99 cents IS a great value for a sandwhich in today's world.

    Hell that was a good price for a sammich 15 years ago. So all in all I think you should just enjoy the value menu for what it is.

    I would. I boycotted McDonald's after my 2 kids got sick from a hamburger. It took almost 2 year before they would eat a hamburger from any fast food place. I called the place we went and they said we will send you some gift certifies but we never received any.

    You better believe they do, and people have been drawn into their web. McDonald's has no chance of ever going out of business soon. Their sirens are just too good.
