What is the point of fast food anymore

[bassomitron@lemmy.world]

Dude it's insane. I don't understand how the hell these places stay in business anymore when the quality still sucks ass and it's all so expensive now. Like even taco bell, who used to be the king of cheap, costs a fuckton these days.

And half the time it's not even that fast anymore either.

Might as well order a burger from an actual restaurant, to go, for the same amount and pick it up on the way. Half the time they'll even bring it to you curbside.

double 1/3rd pound burger? off the regular price menu, upsized with curls. ya. that'll be pricey for what you get.

next time do the 'little' double cheese in the 'bag' special. 2 burgers, fries, drink for like six and change.

The Burger King closest to me once had a 20 minute line to wait another 15 minutes for the food.

“Fast food” is still relatively cheap in Japan, and me and my son like the taste of Burger King, but that was ridiculous.

And it wasn’t even a staff issue, there were eight people back there running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Learn to cook. Honestly.
When you know what you're doing you can make simple and nutritious meals for a fraction of what you'd pay for this junk food.

I have a 2 year old who falls asleep when driving, and we have had troubles with sleeping so I drive the motorway for perhaps two hours. I'm Norway the only places that do drive through, and yeah I have been one black coffe guy. Or just fries and coke. And nuggets and fries are car friendly. Can be eaten with one hand, and makes little mess

What's up with the price of Chinese food too?

A no frills takeout for my family of 6 with the 4 kids splitting two entrees, and it was still $100

[pugjesus@lemmy.world]

Me, limping my ass into a McDonalds for the first time in forever: "I'll have 20 nuggets, no meal." (expecting 5$, or something close to it since it had legitimately been a while)

"Yeah, that'll be 12.47"

The fuck???

Maybe don't buy seventeen egg rolls

I didn't know 2-year-olds could legally drive in Norway.

The fuck

It’s become a habit for many people. Cooking is a really difficult habit to (re)learn. It’s possible though and good meal prep is very convenient on long days at work.

When I went to Cancun (recently) I decided to eat at Ruben's Hamburgers. Their burgers are VERY GOOD, and that's from someone that normally does not like meat burgers (I like mostly chicken burgers)

[jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org]

Fucking Applebee's is right now cheaper than all of them with $10 for a burger and fries.

[alenalda@lemmy.world]

It's an addiction for a lot of people.

I got a double cheeseburger platter from a BBQ place with 2 sides for $10. Better burger than fast food and I got fries and collards.
