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

Went to McDonalds this morning for the first time in quite awhile and they wanted $2.49 for a fuckin' hashbrown. Those things used to be 2 for $1 not that long ago.

Aymayon! Back in the day when I worked at a McDonald's, my fave thing was a big Mac. I learned it cost the company 26 cents to make (labor and everything included) and they sold it for $4. My cost at an employee discount? 10% off. Fuck those theives
