These days, it really seems to be zero of those things. Prices keep going up and up while drive-thru lines get longer and longer. I don't get it.

you can blame that on the person refusing to hire more workers to pad his own pocket

That's my point, it's not cheap, convenient or fast anymore. It's slow and expensive.

And I'm not on board the "it tastes good" train. Artificial tasting as hell, almost always weirdly sweet tasting. I guess BK's Whopper tastes the most like real food.

This. Stop getting the big boy burgers and sammies. Dollar menus still exist, and even though it's not a dollars, it's like 1.29 or 2 at most. Also I like the flavor of Taco bell and wendys.

a lot of people cannot cook food for themselves that they find to taste as good as fast food. that is apart from your opinion of the taste of fast food or your opinion of the ease of cooking, its just people put way less effort into learning that particular skill these days. same reason stuff like paying out the nose for doordash or for one of those blue apron boxes have become a thing

In-n-Out is still cheap, but otherwise fast food is expensive.

I always hear great things about Wendy's, Popeye's, Five Guy's, and In-n-Out Burger. More of KFC man myself, but generally you shouldn't expect quality from the mega giants McDonald's and Burger King.

It's been years since I last had fast food, but in the UK they are all stupid expensive. For a lot less I could get a 1kg bag of chips and several burgers.
