What is the point of fast food anymore

The Jimmy Johns app is atrocious in this regard.

"Buy 16 sandwiches this month for free cookie!"

Fucken nerds.

It's comfortable, but also the salt they sprinkle on there must be a narcotic substance of some kind.

That said, McDonald's vs an OK sit-down restaurant are roughly the same price here. The latter is going to have better food - generally - but Mickey D will be more consistent, have the ability to order without talking to anyone, has a drive-thru, can order home (SOME restaurants don't do it here for some reason, most do luckily)... Basically, the fast food will win in all factors of convenience, but you won't feel as satisfied after eating it.

I've done that most of my adult life and yeah even just pasta with jarred sauce is so much cheaper, better, and healthier than fast food.

Your next big level up may be realizing that exercise doesn't suck nearly as much as the feeling of being out of shape

I got a double cheeseburger platter from a BBQ place

Are you even allowed to do that?

a normal person would have a hard time eating more than 15$ of five guys.

People just dont know how to cook. Its an unpopular take these days but with the cost of living I cant help but look at how some of the people I know eat and think "Y'all could use some fucking austerity". Everything is pre-made, pre-prepped, and sometimes pre-cooked.

Forget simple and nutritious. I can make you the filthiest nastiest food coma inducing double bacon cheeseburger in about the time it takes most people to make it to and through the drivethrough, and probably for less than you would spend on fuel. The less said about how much better my fried chicken is the better.

Or maybe you think a "cheeseburger" is too big. Let me get you the smallest combinations of fry+burger+drink on the whole menu. $17.30 here.

That's a full 3$ more than it is on the West Coast. Sorry you guys have a higher cost of living.

Or maybe you are fat and want large fries, burger and a shake. $25.11

Where in Canada are you? Here in BC, the prices are quite different from what you mentioned.

Well, university coop cafes are always gonna be comparatively cheap, but yeah, Japan's prepared food is generally cheap on a different level. Stuff in grocery stores for one thing, but I still can't quite figure out how sukiya or yoshinoya puts a beef set meal in front of you in 5 mins for less than 1000 yen

So order it to go!

Buy frozen chicken nuggies/pizza and bake it in the oven

More expensive in Atlanta than the one I linked.

Dallas TX has even higher prices than atlanta.

No idea what kind of "west coast" area you're in that things are cheap. Usually COL is nuts there... but the coast is thousands of miles so...

$18 of that $25 was delivery fees and tip

Pizza is also ridiculously expensive where I live. For something that is comprised of almost entirely dough, cheese, and tomato sauce, it's kind of criminal that some places are charging $20 or more for a large pie. It probably cost them $1.50 worth of ingredients to make when you factor in bulk pricing.
