Why wouldn't you get tasty food at that price instead? You could get any slop bowl or go to a boutique borger place at a comparable price. It's like RuneScape charging WoW prices for a subscription. You were great in a certain niche, but I think you overestimate yourself.

Basically. It’s just poetic how you hear someone out on how the current economic system is failing only to be flashed by porky screaming “Hey poors! Money please!”

Mid tier boomer eateries like chili's are having a bit of a resurgence as fast food has come up to their price point

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

A lot of people think the poor are getting priced up into sit-down restaurants when I think it's rich assholes getting priced down into fast food and inflating the prices. It sucks ass.

Because you just finished a 10 hour shift an hour away from home

[–] free_casc@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Where im at $13 gets you the burger by itself, no fries and no drink.

In a way I'm grateful for their never ending greed, jagex raising the price of a monthly sub contributed to me quitting osrs and fast food getting expensive pushed me to cook more at home

That font makes me irrationally upset

Haha I set it years ago and gave forgotten how to set it back

[–] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

people choose that on purpose. it's weird.

[–] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

in communist Russia they had commissaries to feed workers for cheap, but it was guaranteed way better than this shit.

Last time I was at McDonald's some random woman grabbed my order off the counter and walked out with it.

Seems really easy with the order computers.

Something something joyce-messier

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

is that a small fry comrades hold me back

[–] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

yea that's pretty ridiculous looking. BIG SANDWICH, BIG DRINK, tiny fry.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

The Big Mac is also small AF in the United States this is the equivalent of using a fisheye lens in real estate listings for closet apartments

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Feels like another symptom of atomization or capitalism actively causing atomization

Big fries are for sharing but everyone in this cursed country either doesn't want to share or has no one to share with

seize the means of infarction

[–] ghosts@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

What do you think the base cost of that is? $4 including labor?

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

The Meal Steal

$13

-_-

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thirteen kiwi dollarydoos? That's an outrage

[–] feelingyourselfdisintergrate@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was actually thinking it wasn't too bad a deal looking at it. At least for us, compared to some of the other options.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just checked my local Maccas and it's $15 AUD for a small big Mac meal + an extra burger

I've not gone to McDonalds sober in years and I only ever get nuggets, what the fuck happened??
