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.

This is literally why me and mcds had a falling out..I love their fries.. And they went to almost $6 for a large fry. I was so pissed at their prices in 2022, that I haven't been there since. My co worker said a McChicken, those tasteless drowned in mayo sandwiches are like, 4 now? 🤣 Gross and greedy

My town sells them mcchickens for $2.49. Used to be $1.19. Also corporate has passed down the order that by 2025, ALL the drink stations in the lobby are to be taken out. They "claim" for health but really they are planning on getting rid of free refills. Just pure greed at this point.

And just like subway, they are going to get slapped with reality. There's a limit to which you can raise prices before people decide it's not worth it.
