After noticing a McDonald’s promotion offering a prime breakfast sandwich for less than one-third of the price, Reddit user Dork Kid couldn’t say no to it. So he bought it. Again and again and again. However, people at the company eventually noticed their customer’s taste for discounted food, and they decided to do something about it.

His story comes just a month after the burger chain reported weaker-than-expected sales at its US stores and CEO Chris Kempczinski addressed McDonald’s “affordability” problem. While inflation has slowed, prices for everyday necessities remain high, and people are getting frustrated. McDonald’s has become a regular target for social media users complaining about prices. Viral stories lamenting the cost of a Big Mac meal — particularly the $18 ones at a widely maligned Darien, Connecticut, location off I-95 — have become a TikTok genre unto themselves. But even though the company is talking about losing customers, Dork Kid said he was just cast away. “There were no warnings or notifications, which left me quite surprised by the sudden ban,” the Redditor explained. “In situations like these, I believe a warning or a clear explanation would be the best approach from McDonald’s, giving customers a chance to understand and rectify their actions.” In fact, he said the experience has been “quite distressing,” adding that  “the abrupt ban without prior communication has caused me unnecessary anxiety and has left me feeling unfairly treated.”

People have had a lot of different reactions to the now-viral story
