Samantha Butler's video showed a McDonald's employee sticking one of the "Dips from 10p" signs on a self-service machine inside a restaurant.

"McDonald’s charging 10p for dips now," she captioned her video.

"This is the beginning of the end of the world," one person commented on the clip.

While another added: "PARDON???! They used to be free, what happened?"

"This better be a joke," someone else wrote.

As others insisted the people who take more dips than they need are to blame for the price hike.

"That’s my fault when I ask for like 15 at a time," one commented.

As another wrote: "well... when people want 8 sauces for one ten piece nugget, the company got to do something."

And someone else added: "This might be because I went in and orders 32 sweet curry dips the other day."

But Samantha certainly wasn't the only one moaning about the charge.

DJ and Deliveroo driver NAY4N took to his TikTok to share a video of himself at the drive-thru, where the sign was plastered to the speaker sign.

"These mans are charging for dips now, yeah?" he said.

"10p! Rise of living costs."

And Liza posted a similar video from the drive-thru, as she wrote: "When will price rises end! Can’t get a freebie anywhere anymore!

"RIP to the nuggs."

A spokesperson for McDonald's confirmed that some of the eateries have introduced a charge, but added that it's not a "McDonald's-wide policy".

"The majority of our restaurants are ran by franchisees who are able to set prices at their discretion," they said.

"Some franchisees may take the decision to charge customers for sauces where they are not included as part of a meal."
