I am one of those ridiculous people who order salads at fast-food restaurants. Yes, judge me.

I am well aware that nobody in their right mind goes to McDonald's, Wendy's, or Burger King for a salad. Clearly, those establishments aren't known for their tossed greens but much tastier and greasier things, which I also fancy.Article continues below advertisement
But ordering salads at fast-food restaurants is a guilty pleasure/weird quirk of mine I've yet to shake.

It started as a way to save money. You see, when I worked in New York City, a decent plate of lettuce mixed with veggies would easily run for a cool $15. Yet a fast-food salad would only cost half of that (and probably taste better).

As a disgustingly frugal person, who only somewhat cares about her body, my standards for pretty much everything are low. That said, McDonald's became my go-to salad spot. I became addicted to the Southwest Chicken Salad.

Sure, it might not have been the healthiest, but it was definitely delicious. But it's been some time since I grabbed lunch at McD's.

Per Bloomberg, McDonald's has nixed some of its more nutritious menu options such as salads, grilled chicken sandwiches, and fruit and yogurt parfaits — among other things — in order to speed up operations, especially as many locations are operating with fewer employees than they were pre-pandemic.

BTIG LLC analyst Peter Saleh told the outlet, “With the shortage of labor, you’re trying to keep your menus as streamlined and as simple as possible." He continued, “For many of these restaurants, their menus get bloated with some of these new items, and then you cut it off to help with speed.”
Apparently, restaurant managers are happy with this decision (but I am not), as it eliminates items with higher prep time and lower demand.

McDonald's salads, which were announced decades ago, only accounted for a small percentage of sales. Due to their unpopularity, they are still available at certain locations in the U.S.
