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?

    A meal for two with an appetizer, tax, and tip is like $50 minimum now. Just a few years ago it was $30. COVID also forced a lot of people to cook more so they really take note when even fast food costs 5X what it would to make the same thing at home.

    Anyways, If we all got a 50% raise I don't think anyone would complain about fast food prices.
