    Fast food’s too expensive even without delivery expenses these days. Makes me sad.

      I went to Chick Fila to get the pimento cheese and chicken sandwich.

      I got the combo. Comes with fries and a drink.

      $13 and change.

      Got 2 double cheeseburgers and a coke at mcds, $12

      That used to be less than $6. Like 5 years ago.

          There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. Let’s not judge others by the food they eat, that doesn’t do anything but divide us further.

            That phrase applies more to things you can’t reasonably stop consuming, like plastics.

            There are a few exceptions where there’s one capitalist producer who is significantly more divisive than the alternatives, and switching costs are extremely low.

              Cool strawman, bro.

              This thread is about inflation and price gouging. It is not about individual corporations political leanings.

            Unlimited fresh vegetables, and a good range of them, is pretty unique in the fast food scene. It may be getting pricey but it’s a good slightly healthy meal if you make good use of the vegetable topping. Don’t be like a child and just get a ham sandwich with no vegetables, that’s not what subway is for and yea it’s a terrible idea if you’re just getting meat cheese and a condiment

      +$10 for pretty much every meal now. I guess fast food is trying to curb American’s fast food addiction by pricing them out of it.

      McDonald’s it’s still pretty good if you use the app. When I forget to bring lunch I get two spicy chicken sammies and a large drink for like $5 and you get points for free shit too. Not an ad but there are genuinely good deals in there if u just want cheap sustenance.

        This comment is not really about you, but I really hate the McDonald’s app. The McDonald’s app has been super frustrating to use. It acts like it is loading a huge database. Each selection results in a 10 to 20 seconds wait for the next. Often selections don’t register.

        Taco Bell’s app is great too use.

      i can’t tell if i’m too old now or what but over the last year i’ve gotten insanely radicalized against corporatism and can’t stand seeing brand names anywhere. i remember sometimes i’d use them in normal posts, but reading others do it really makes it sound like an ad

      You can setup availability times in the merchant portal. If this has happened to you, it’s because of your shitty management.

    Ah yes, I’d love to watch a car drive to different restaurants and deliver to other houses while my food is getting cold on their passenger seat instead of just getting it myself. Fuck these delivery apps, it’s always more trouble than it’s worth.
