A couple of McDonald’s customers are accusing the beloved burger franchise of “robbing” them after discovering an extra fee for getting food to go.
McDonald’s reputation for having affordable fast food has taken a bit of a hit in recent months with combos costing nearly $20 at some locations and extra costs certainly aren’t helping matters.
All this fuss even resulted in McDonald’s CEO promising to lower costs, but that hasn’t stopped customers from continuing to express their outrage.
In a video making rounds on TikTok with almost 2M views in just one day, a McDonald’s customer was left flabbergasted after discovering there was an added fee for a bag.
McDonald’s customers outraged by bag fee
When TikToker ‘costakid2’ was ordering from a kiosk inside of the McDonald’s restaurant, he was shocked to see a £0.05 fee, around $0.06 USD, if he wanted a bag for takeout.
“This is a f**king piss take, bro,” he slammed. “How have I just pulled up to McDonald’s and they’re trying to charge me £0.05 for a bag? What?”
Costakid2 then showed the reaction of another customer who was equally as put off as he was about having to pay extra just for a bag.

“McDonald’s is robbing us,” he captioned the video along with the description, “Cost of living hits hard.”
In the comments, users expressed similar disgust with some noting how other locations have been doing this.
“San Francisco mcd’s did this. I was floored,” one wrote.
“It’s just 5p. Next month it will be 50p watch,” another remarked.
This news comes as customers began to suspect McDonald’s was shrinking its iconic Quarter Pounder, resulting in a former chef chiming in and trying to set the matter straight.
