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.
The things that fast food had going for it is that it was ready quickly, was cheap, and was standardized across the country. It’s no longer cheap; between the waits to order, to pay, and to get your food, it’s no longer fast; and my tastes have evolved beyond that if a five year old so I’m more willing to accept variety in my diet.
Nowadays, I only stop at fast food if I’m on a road trip and I don’t want to get out of the car.
