S1E13 – McSticker Shock: Why Customers Are Walking Away

In this episode of The Pricing Guys, Avy and Michael dig into McDonald’s recent performance slump and ask the tough question: is it really the economy, or is something deeper going on?

They explore whether rising prices at traditional value spots like McDonald’s are pushing customers toward fast casual alternatives, grocery stores, or even doing nothing at all. This episode also looks at how price perception, value trade-offs, and customer segmentation are reshaping the fast food landscape.
