This feels like they're implying it's a luxury like a lambo when it's more so a luxury like an extra piece of cake. Just because people are realizing they shouldn't eat out every night doesn't mean it's "luxurious" to got to BK. It's an unnecessary expense, that's all.

The prices have doubled though, and wages haven't budged. I used to consider a sit down meal a luxury, now fast food is almost as expensive. I used to buy a $2 lunch. Now I skip lunch most of the time.

It's overpriced to begin with
