Big notice came up that a bag would cost $0.25 extra ... ordered without, so dude comes out with everything on a tray. Didn't know they were going to charge for paper bags, too.

not all McDonald's are franchises. Some are company owend. I used to work for a company owned McDonalds in Toronto.LonesomeDove wrote: ↑ They are local. McDonalds are franchises owned by local people. They are no different than the family owned business except they pay part of their revenue to the head office.

It's not that big of a deal. I went to McDonald's and they used a reusable cup to pour the coffee into my reusable cup and gave me a tray to eat inside on. I'm glad we will see less fastfood garbage all over the city and less single use cups clogging up every recycling bin.
No, it's in several cities. For example, City of Surrey has $0.25 for a bag.green_paper wrote: ↑ Only in Vancouver, British Columbia.
It's ridiculous to not generate more garbage? Every level of government from municipal, regional, provincial, and federal have been trying to reduce single use trash but the plastic/paper/chemical industry has been using the courts to stall the bans for over a decade. Don't be soft, it's not that hard to bring your reusable cup and eat off a tray.

Yes, that is true. The location I worked at was at Dufferin St and Dupont St. in Toronto. I guess that was a pretty big traffic area. Sadly it recently closed and torn down to build condos in the once known as Galleria Plaza.
I also do recall Franchise McDonald's had slightly higher prices than company owned McDonald's.

Grandpa couldn't afford to buy food and coffee at work, brought his own coffee and lunch like I did. All these BS environmental taxes and fees in Canada will not improve the global environment by any measurable amount. Just another tax grab going into "general revenue" to be pizzed away by politicians. But our brain dead Liberal politicians and their virtue signalling followers think they will save the world When China, India and the USA gets on board let us know. How much of that plastic in the Pacific ocean came from BC?dealzhuntr wrote: ↑ It's not that big of a deal.

I'd trade it all for a little more.

You’re comparing a promo that’s limited to one per account to a promo that will be going on for one month no limit? I just don’t get how some people make these comparisons. At least apples to apples ya know.

I made the account in about 50 seconds. The promo has been running for months and months now. My post was more of a hit piece on McDonald's, and to raise awareness on BK dominating the current burger deal situation.

My go to was the $4.99 for 2 whopper jrs and 2 small fries and $6.99 for 2 original chicken sandwiches and 2 small fries. They increased them both by a dollar with the latest mailers in AB.ChrisE45532 wrote: ↑ Crazy that McDonald’s prices are quite high now that a few bucks more can get you a decent lunch special at a sit-down restaurant or something…
Disappointing deals. BK still king (no pun intended) of deals imo.

Minimum fee of $0.15 must be charged per paper shopping bag in 2022.adamtheman wrote: ↑ WTF? This is so stupid. Vancouver is charging for paper bags for fast food too?
Businesses keep the paper bag fees, revenue from the bag fees are not remitted to the City.

Yeh, id love to see someone try to explain where the line is drawn?adamtheman wrote: ↑ I just never assumed a mcdonalds food bag was a "shopping bag".
What about a box that take out food goes into, like sushi at the grocery, is that a shopping bag?
How about the box the big mac itself goes in, is that one too? or the fries container? do they just dump it all in a reusable bag then?
Tell Loblaws and McDs to pay for the bags, not a consumer. Its free branding, mail every household re-usable bags. They want $1.00 each.
Meanwhile we still dig oil out the ground and they want us to think paper bag fees is acting on climate change while BC burns.

Can't tell if serious. If our terrible McDics offers haven't scared you off, try the sushi, specifically salmon in the summer. You'll forget all about Grimace.sylvestor2002 wrote: ↑ 1 reason not to go to Vancouver

its puzzling why McDonalds is charging 15 cents a bag when the new Vancouver bylaw bans single use plastic bags. The problem is McDonalds never used plastic bags before so why they doing a cash grab now.
Secondly, for paper cups, businesses could lower coffee by .25 and then add back the the .25 cup fee to have the same price/value as before. By adding the .25 for the cup without lowering the price of the drink only enlarges the companies profits since the extra .25 does not go the government.
Interestingly that is exactly what the Downtown Costco did. They are not charging customers for the paper cup in the $1.50 hotdog deal. The price remains the same: $1.50. On the checkout it clearly points out the ,25 is included in the price. If only other fast food places follow the lead of Costco.

The only reason these are out is because people make new years resolutions to lose weight so McDonalds experiences a slump in sales in January so they release these coupons to stimulate sales.
