McDonald's has announced the extension of its $5 value meal deal into December in most U.S. markets. The fast-food chain's decision aims to attract lower-income consumers and maintain competitive pricing in the fast-food industry. The $5 meal deal, which includes items such as a McDouble, was initially launched in June and extended into August before this latest extension. Some markets may see the McDouble meal priced at $6. The majority of McDonald's 13,500 U.S. restaurants are expected to participate in this promotion. Additionally, McDonald's is rolling out self-serve cash kiosks that could make human cashiers obsolete.
