McDonald's push to have AI price your Big Mac

    Experienced this first-hand the other day when visiting a newly opened McDonalds in my small town (my first time dining there in ages). A Big Mac meal was $10.80! And what I got in exchange for that price was a poorly assembled burger with almost no sauce.

    A couple weeks later, my wife convinced me to try another Big Mac from a different McDonalds. This time, the burger was priced at $8 (not important, but burger tasted a lot better too).

    I understand price reflects demand but I can't help but feel a bit scammed.
