I see a lot of complaints about fast food being and other meals becoming much more expensive than usual. I know it’s true because grocery prices are absurd, but I genuinely don’t know what’s considered “expensive” with fast food.
I just instinctively know it’s expensive and never eat out. Like $8 for one small smash burger just seems absurd to me, but apparently that’s always been normal?
Fast food still feels cheap, it's deep-fried slop served unlovingly in a cardboard box, it's just not cheap any more, meaning that you feel you're getting ripped off when buying it.
