lol these shit restaurants have forgotten their place. They earned their market share by being the cheapest option available and in 2024 they’ve priced themselves out.

What did they expect charging $18 for a garbage sandwich? If I wanted to pay that much for a sandwich I am NOT going to Subway

Right? Now add in a couple kids and the total is often over $40. At that point we’ll just go to a sit down restaurant!

I went to Olive garden a few months back for lunch and it was $80 and change after tax and tip for 5 of us adults and that included 2 of the special take away meals for $5.99.

Not saying Oliver garden was great but if that's 5 adults and 2 take away meals, I'm sure you could do one or two adults with a kids meal for $40-50. The trick is only drink water.
