Holy crap, burgers are expensive

Was a little busy today so opted to go to Wendy's for a burger for me, and one for the dog. Got two bacon deluxe double burgers and a large fries. $35..
I wonder if fast food places are going to be around much longer. I see the local KFC just closed.
It wasn't long ago that a burger was $3.

I saw a report that fast food is down something like 28%.
I figure a bunch of that is because of the demands placed on minimum wage increases in various states

the foot isn't that good and you can buy a frozen dinner lots cheaper

@BamPow Yea of course there are lots of ways to save money, but if you have a busy day and don't feel like cooking, what do you do?

Yeah it costs about 15$ for a simple meal at Wendys now. The good news is when we become the fourth reich it won’t last cause no one can afford to eat.
...you're comparing a normal burger with "two bacon deluxe double burgers and a large fries"...

@come2gether $20 USD in CAD is $27, so you are not far off after converting.

They hit a critical turning point where they raised prices to keep profits up but it reduced their sales quantity so much that they had to raise prices more and it's kind of spiraling.
@ViciDraco the old "crisis of overproduction". No customers, plenty ability to increase the supply.

@Roundandroundwego is just capitalism being capitalism. If you feed 1 million people last year and feed 2 million people this year but your profit remains flat you have somehow failed despite providing more to society. Fucked up incentives lead to fucked up outcomes.

@DearAmbellina2113 Where ? My sister and I were complaining that a medium pepperoni pizza (by itself) was $25 ! 😳
