I just go to local burger joints now, it's the same price and the food is better, and (probably) someone local is getting money and not some ceo across the world who doesn't care about my local economy or people.

it’s the same price
You know, this wasn't true until recently.
Fast food as gotten stupidly expensive.
Well of course but we aren't talking about 4 years ago we are talking about now.
Yes, I'm just highlighting how the rhetoric has changed.
Even McDonald's is seeing lowered sales due to these high prices. People are only willing to pay so much for grease with a side of "chicken."
This is great! Considering I haven't had Wendys for years and this is another reason not to!
I actually haven't either when I think about it, I last got my husband a Frosty about a year ago when he was hospitalized and it was the only kind of food he could tolerate, but I can't think the last time I ate food there.
A combo anywhere I go is over 10 bucks. What do they want from us, consumers are already being overmilked like a skinny cow
They want us to take out a loan to give them more money.
What's going to happen is people will stop buying there. I hope anyway. I like a treat too but I'll give my local joints money first.
Some people will. But others will never admit that fast food is too expensive.
They'll just complain they're not making enough money.
At least with Uber it made some sense. Higher prices and this payments to drivers was meant to compel more drivers to head out to pick up the increased demand.
But here, there are no surge wages, nor are employees coming in to cover a rush.
Wonder if they'll only pay them in wages earned during a surge.
What a bullshit idea. I fucking hate this timeline we’re on.
Guess I'm going to Taco Bell.
Taco bell is also ridiculously overpriced.
I stopped going when they got rid of the $1 beef burrito, which was actually a double-beef burrito.
I'd rather Waffle House but we don't have them here. Actually I'll just order their hash browns for home and make that instead.
WH is a sit-down place. I need eat-in-my-car foods.
Throw some bread and a jar of PB in the car. Delicious calories including some protein.
