    Fast food used to be cheap AND convenient. Now it’s just convenient. The fact that I can get a McDonalds meal from the drive thru for the same price as getting a pizza delivered… why would I leave my house

      They aren’t that convenient anymore, at least here. Drive thrus and counter service are glacial in most fast food places. Legit Mexican restaurants cost less than taco bell and are generally faster, just for one example.

    I used to get breakfast at McDonald’s every day before work. I’d roll up, place my order, hand them a $5 bill, and get change back. And I had a filling breakfast after it all.

    Now they want you to finance a hash brown.

    Imagine getting people to eat (slightly, if anything) healthier because you are now more expensive than the actual freshly cooked food around your location.

    As always, corpos have the biggest of brains.

    I bought a filet o fish recently after many years and the thing fit within the palm of my hand. It had exactly one half of a cheese slice since that was enough to cover the entire fish patty.

    Mc Donald’s… 5 years since I’ve spent any money there. Burger King one year. I still once in a blue moon go to Arby’s (which I think is the last one still making good food) and even rarer I will visit Taco bell ( can’t get the wife and I food there for less than 25) or Hardee’s. The days of fast food are over.

    Taco Bell isn’t terrible but yeah most of them can get fucked. Local fast casual is faster, better, and cheaper. Fast food literally has no value prop left.

    Youre just picking a target that has a higher public opinion. TB for those that eat there, consider it to be a better tasting food experience which has actually gotten better over the years. Demo man might turn out to be right…
