I see a lot of complaints about fast food being and other meals becoming much more expensive than usual. I know it’s true because grocery prices are absurd, but I genuinely don’t know what’s considered “expensive” with fast food.

I just instinctively know it’s expensive and never eat out. Like $8 for one small smash burger just seems absurd to me, but apparently that’s always been normal?

    American fast food chains are always the worst quality for price here. The best are always the local chinese restaurants (although they are in no way authentic Chinese cuisine). The best of the best are the takeaways that are obviously fronts for money laundering. If they only take cash and change branding every six months, the food will absolutely slap and it’ll be dirt cheap

      I yearn for the days of ordering from a local Chinese place that was definitely a front, you could get a bag of wantons literally the size of your head for $5
