A friend was hanging out a my home. We decided to get mcdonalds but in Australia it's expensive and I don't believe spending $16 for a meal, especially when I'm gonna get hungry 15 mins later.
Anyways a hamburger is $2 and a cheeseburger is $5.30
Sometimes when I go to McDonald's, I just get a hamburger and put my own sliced cheese in it and make it a cheeseburger.
We went to McDonald's and I did just that. I brought 2 X cheese packet slices, got 2 X hamburgers for $4 and put the slices in.
Keep in mind, we did drive through and no one was watching us. Just us 2 in the car.
My friend said she's embarrassed for me and I said, I ain't paying $11 for 2 X cheeseburgers when I just paid $4 and just brought my own cheese.
She said if I do anything "cheap" again in public, she will be more embarassed and will walk Infront of me.
She was actually serious.
Then I said "your top is from shien or temu, I don't think you can speak"
The little passive aggressive argument went on and I finally said "what is your fucking problem? What I'm doing is not that serious, I just brought my own cheese to save money. Not that big of a deal and no one is watching. I feel sorry for you that you feel that you need to impress strangers at McDonald's"
It was an awkward drive back home then she left my home. We didn't contact each other.
AIO?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't think this would blow up, to answer some questions:
- It was those packet cheese slices individually wrapped you get at supermarkets for like $4 for a packet of 24
- I didn't tell her I was doing it before we left, I just put those two cheese slices in my pocket, mcdonalds was a 5 minute drive
- Yes, you can check Australian hamburger vs cheeseburger prices, a hamburger is $2 and cheeseburger is $5.30 (but it can very from store to store, one store selling it for like $5.50)
- TBH, even if we were dining in, I would have still put it on. No one is going to care and I highly doubt anyone is gonna see, if they do see, they can judge all they want.
- My friend is not rich nor broke but also she's not the smartest person financially.
- I, myself ain't 'cheap' per se in the sense I will try penny pinch everything, I honestly don't see the point of paying 5.30 for a cheeseburger which feeds a 3yr old when I can just bring my own and pay $2. For 2 x cheeseburgers, I can get 5 hamburgers and just bring 5 cheese slices. I mean, do I want 2 burgers or 5 burgers for the same price? Also, the cheese I got taste way better than mcdonalds cheese IMO, it actually has a cheese taste lol.
- We went to McDonalds because it's 11.30pm, nothing is really open at this time except for expensive food truck places and their burgers alone (not a meal) can easily be $17+ for one burger
- After tonight, don't think I want to contact her again, she showed her true colours.
