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.

    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.
