Gee, it’s almost like corporations are gouging consumers so badly that their market advantages are being lost due to greed. Inflation this quickly isnt real. It’s what happens when you come off a global pandemic with millions dead and corporations see they can freely abuse you by exploiting the public zeitgeist that prices are going up due to inflation.

    I dont eat McDonalds or Burger King anymore.

    They price their food as if the minimum wage is a living wage. Shouldnt have to work for an hour or more just to afford a big mac or whopper.

      I stopped eating burger king because the burger patty was becoming noticably smaller. Like absurdly so. Supposed to home of the whopper and the burger patty is becoming regular size. I stopped eating itbout of principle

      Locally Wendy’s is the only one really still doing a value menu. A couple of junior cheese burgers with some veggies and I’m getting close to the price of 1 burger elsewhere. That’s a decent quick meal for me on the go. The worst pricing is A&W. They are the most expensive around now. They do have the upsell with the 100 grass fed no antibiotics line but it’s still a fast food joint. A single burger shouldn’t be costing almost a 10 spot with taxes.

      Then I think I’m getting old as I recall the outrage of my parents and grandparents about how much the cost of everything was out of control while things were shrinking.

          It isn’t a lot but I think Biggie bags are still $5. They include a shitty burger, 4 nuggets, small fry and a small drink I believe. I think Taco Bell got rid of their 5 dollar box. I should see if there is a little ceasers near me.

            Little ceasers is heavily dependent on the management.

            When the manager is on point and cares, Its honestly some of the best pizza around.
