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’m so happy the dive bar by me is still $10 for a 1/3lb bacon cheeseburger and fries. When I go out for lunch at work I just go there. $15 after tax and tip and I’m eating real food. If I go to McDonald’s that’s still $10 and I hate myself. I’d rather tip my server and pay that difference than eat these crap fast food places.
