I see a lot of complaints about fast food being and other meals becoming much more expensive than usual. I know it’s true because grocery prices are absurd, but I genuinely don’t know what’s considered “expensive” with fast food.

I just instinctively know it’s expensive and never eat out. Like $8 for one small smash burger just seems absurd to me, but apparently that’s always been normal?

    Idk, 10-20 years ago getting fast food felt cheap. Now it’s like “what the hell did I get that added up to 20$?”

    Like, you used to be able to feed several people for 20$, and now you can’t? Idk.

      Fast food still feels cheap, it’s deep-fried slop served unlovingly in a cardboard box, it’s just not cheap any more, meaning that you feel you’re getting ripped off when buying it.
