Save $$ when buying McNuggets @ McD's

McDonald's aka McD's Scheme:

Well, I personally believe most of you guys and girls when going for a meal at McD's, yal hardly look at the price (either you're used to it, or you've expected it).

Alright, I think many of you didn't notice a small portion of their menu which has some sort of twisted logic..

I noticed that "When you buy more, you pay more than expected"
What am I talking about? The McNuggets of course..

here, check out the price for the number of McNuggets,
and tell me if I'm wrong..


Number of McNuggets

Price (RM)

4

3.00

6

5.40

9

7.60

20

15.65

Don't believe me?
Go, walk, or even run over to the nearest McD
and check it out..

Let's do some Math here:

Buy 4 nuggets at Rm3 meaning each one is 75 sens
So buying:
  • 6 nuggets is RM4.50
  • 9 nuggets is RM6.75
  • 20 nuggets is RM15.00

Compare with the table shown above:

Rm4.50 and Rm5.40 is 90 sens different
Rm6.75 and Rm7.60 is 85 sens different
Rm15.00 and Rm15.65 is 65 sens different

So where's the logic of it? And yet they have the cheat to charge us service charge ei?
What a service... *claps*


Instead of you paying the price you deserve, 
they are charging you at a price that they desire


Solution?

When buying McNuggets in the future...
Buy in packs of 4, that what you save $$ when you're buying McNuggets

    cool.. i didnt realize that before.. but.. as far as i can remember(i used to worked in mcd), u cant buy the 4pieces.. it's either for the happy meal set or the tea set only.. the minumum pieces u can buy is the 6pieces.. but yea.. its still cheaper to buy the 6pieces than to buy the 9 or 20 pieces.. =D

    Wow, what great business ethics!

    But seriously, most people usually assume that buying in bulk means cheaper. Well, lesson to be learnt here.

    Thanks for the exposure!

    Ermm.. yea it shud..
    but "buy more pay less" only applicable to non-McD's

    Cheeriecookie:
    Hmm.. Im guessing, the chances of it happening in SG is 50-50, coz they are of course running the same business.. hit me back if they do!
    Wud love to expose their way of running business!
