McDonald’s Customer Pays $17 for 3 Sandwiches

User @NatalieNeurnberger posted the video on TikTok complaining of the absurd pricing at her local McDonald’s. “I ordered three Filet-O-Fishes—not the meal, just the sandwiches—tell my why it was $17!” she said in her video. “For three Filet-O-Fishes! I’m not crazy! I sat there and blinked my eyes, and then I just pulled away because I was so angry.”

“$17 for three Filet-O-Fishes at McDonald’s? Are you kidding me?” she closed the video, still very upset with her experience. The video received a lot of attention from other TikTokers, garnering over 115K likes and over 5,000 comments from other outraged customers.

"Those sandwiches are way too small for 17 dollars," another person wrote.

"All their prices are insane now," another customer agreed.

"I completely agree," shared another customer. "Just way too expensive."
