What is the point of fast food anymore

In my days, you got a week's worth of calories for $3.50

So a detective show that gets cancelled after one season?

[whiskytangofoxtrot@lemmy.world]

Chowder.

Why would I give the IRS an interest free loan? Taking that same 5% from your paycheck directly and setting up an automatic transfer to a high-yield savings account or an IRA each month would give you better dividends over the same period of time.

Screw that. Last month I got free burgers with minimum $1 purchase at burger king. Two cookies =$1 exactly.

Pack soda can and go, lol.

Fair enough. I'm not scraping by either. I just choose to vote with my wallet because that's capitalism.

Most times I buy fast food these days (few times a year) I just feel ripped off, because I know I'm paying extra just for shareholders; not for actual value.

When I was in high school, we'd split a gram of weed four ways and go to Wendy's for the $4.20 meal. For less than ten bucks, you got stoned, a junior bacon cheese, four nuggets, small fry, and a small chocolate frosty. This was in the mid oughts so not that long ago!

I wish I could move to Japan…

The mid oughts was a different world, hundreds of years ago.

In my days you could buy 420 chickens for $0.69.

[soggy@lemmy.world]

Fresh-cut, single-cooked fries are the worst kind. Soft, greasy, unsatisfying.

Software development. I certainly didn't coin the phrase, but it's well-known and I agree, pretty fitting even outside of the IT industry.

[sirfedora@lemmy.world]

So true lol

[dudeimmacgyver@sh.itjust.works]

Not cheap, not convenient, not fast, and, let's be real: It's barely food.

[thatradomguy@lemmy.world]

Me when I go to my local hangry chicken and order the chicken + fries nachos only for them to give me dark meat.

[loss@sh.itjust.works]

...those areas are not on the West Coast. Pull up Portland and cry.

[thebravesirrobbin@lemmy.world]

Not even even an egg on it? I kinda want an egg on my breakfast sandwich

[the_grass_trainer@lemmy.world]

Y'all oughtta know the mid oughts were a lit time to behold.

If you have a college degree it's pretty easy to move to Japan. You just have to enjoy working for peanuts and singing songs to classes of little kids.

If you have a Braum's nearby you can get a bomb-ass burger with two quarter pound patties, crinkle cut fries, and drink or shake for about $9.

But you probably don't have a Braum's around unless you are in the US and in one of like two shithole states.
