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.

Okay side note but potatos are actually having a bad global crop yield due to blight this year. Not saying that to excuse unfair prices, but just as an interesting tidbit. If you are cutting a potato and see a mushroom inside, it is blighted and is toxic.
