Do you live in Europe? I don't know of anywhere that McDonald's costs that much in the US. Maybe the Times Square one if you get a full combo.

$13 gets you a nice entree in most any US city. Not white table cloth service of course, but you can find good and healthy food. Especially if we are talking just about the entree.

A lot of California, NYC, and other areas would be that much for a meal plus taxes. Also airports large college towns and some downtown areas for larger cities.

I usually don't spend less than $15-20 at fast food. But often it's multiple burgers without a bun, and a couple of side salads.

ok, multiple burgers and multiple side salads is not a normal meal at a fast food restaurant.

In Nebraska that'd be about right.

$13 is a burger and a soda at any sit-down restaurant in my town. At McDonalds that would get you two value meals.

Probably outside of the US where entrée means starter instead of main course
