Yeah I don't know where you guys are that this is abnormally priced for a burger. Plus inflation is hitting everything crazy right now. If they are charging for toppings that's new (they used to give a bunch for free and only some were extra) but also in line with places raising their prices.

To me there's basically three tiers of burger you pay for:
1) gourmet burgers at sit-down restaurants - $15+ ish but really you're getting apps and drinks and shit
2) fast casual like Shake Shack, 5 Guys, Smashburger etc that's like $10-12 just for the burger with fries a la carte
3) fast food which is $8-10 for a meal

If you are lucky you can find local burger shacks that are priced at tier 2 or under but are better than anything else in quality. So it's kind of an obsolete category in that case. But it's absolutely not competing with McDonalds or whatever.
