What is the point of fast food anymore

So a detective show that gets cancelled after one season?

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.

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.

So true lol

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

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

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

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

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.

Dark meat at least tastes better and is more desirable where I'm at. Now you just get less meat in general for however much you're spending.

Give it five years and the taco bell quesadilla is probably gonna cost $10 and use the small tortilla instead of the big one. They may have won the franchise wars in fiction but reality is stranger.
