    Prices have definitely gone way up, but the only way you’re paying $25 for fast food is if you’re getting it doordashed, and if you’re doing that, you are the problem.

      The first time my usual Taco Bell order cost $25 instead of $15 I said “How much?? Are you sure??” He sheepishly said “ Yeah… we raised our prices because of Covid. Do you want to cancel your order?”

      It’s not going to go back down.

      On my birthday a couple weeks ago I was looking at getting two nugget meals from McDonalds for me and my roommate. It wasn’t delivery, was pick up in the store. Was with a coupon.

      $23.

      Nah bro. Shit just expensive now.

          I got the value one on a coupon and it was still half that.

          My point still stands.

          I have no idea why you’re trying to argue that fast food isn’t expensive anymore when it just is lol

            Not saying it’s not expensive, nor am I saying it’s worth the money. Just saying there’s a big difference between $12 and $25. And that people who are willing to way overpay to get shit food doordashed really fuel the low standards in delivery food.
