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?
literally a few weeks ago at a work event we all drove off site to get macdonalds. they each spent over €10. for fucking macdonalds. i literally walked across the street to the corner store to get a drink for €1 and then waited until after work to go spend the same money at an actual nice indie joint for more and better food.
the same with taco bell and all the rest. you can get more for cheaper a bunch of other places, and the big brands are coasting off of their names (and driving those brands into the ground to squeeze out profits, as a capitalist will do).
incidentally, thanks american brands, for coming to my country and strangling everything else we ever had!!!![agony-yehaw agony-yehaw](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/f0192664-d285-423f-9ba2-1e0b2100d3bf.png)
