I go to Starbucks once a week and get the same drink and before the 1st it was $6.45 and now it is $6.95. Haven't gone anywhere else to notice a difference.

I used to eat fast food nearly daily while on the road during my lunch break. Now I don't.

I havent eaten out since 2017. I make every meal from home. No frozen foods, no boxed meals. Everything made fresh.

Grocery prices have really jumped from the pandemic though.

There isn't a nationwide Fast Food Company that raises prices for everybody. Maybe Starbucks did but that is just one company.

Taco Bell has lost their Goddamn minds with these prices. $3 for a Doritos Locos taco when it takes like at LEAST 4 of them to fill you up. Yeah, you can get a combo deal but it's still over $10. They used to be cheap but I can seriously get better food for cheaper at a real Tex-Mex restaurant or food truck here in the area.

Oh, and I'll also add the the real tacos come with maybe a tablespoon of meat and of you're lucky maybe half the lettuce and cheese are in the shell.

I went to a small chain here, Super Duper Burgers, figuring if I'm going to pay a lot for fast food it might as well be high quality.

It was, but I wasn't expecting it to be expensive AND small. The burger was puny and I wasn't full after the burger and garlic fries.

Heard the same thing about Big Macs, that they're tiny now.

Sizes have gone down across the board. Carls Jr/Hardees larges are now the size of what mediums used to be.

i also basically gave up fast food, except for a few of the fast-casual 'assembly line' places. i can get a bowl for $10-$12 at those places and get two full meals out of it.
I hope something good happens to you today

I dunno, our baristas here get paid $25 hour minimum and it costs us $5. $5.50 if you want soy milk. What the hell are you clowns over there doing?

TC basically ruined their own point by saying that, honestly.

Yes, minimum wage increased in California. Did fast food prices only increase in California? Nope, they increased everywhere, no matter whether minimum wage increased there or not. Thus, that proves it wasn't the minimum wage increasing that caused it, it was greedy corporations using literally anything they can get their hands on as an excuse to raise prices, no matter how illogical it actually is.

So, good point, TC! Corporations DO suck!

i haven't regularly gone to fast food places in at least 6 or 7 years, and i wasn't planning on starting now. but anyway, TC, are you under the impression that fast food prices haven't already been rising this entire time? while the minimum wage has remained stagnant for decades? do you really think that the actual problem is paying basic workers a fair wage and not, y'know, rampant and unchecked corporate greed?
It don't matter. None of this matters.
