Menu prices in the restaurant are ridiculous now.

The only way I can stomach buying fast food is through deals on their apps, which I find very anti-consumer and predatory.

It's also super annoying when you just want a quick and cheap meal but you need to spend an inordinate amount of time on their app to figure out how not to get taken advantage of by their pricing.

Yeah, fast food just isn't worth it anymore. Used to be super cheap comparatively to regular restaurants. Now I can go get a generous serving of pad thai from a local place here for less than a 10 pcs McNugget meal, and is usually ready just as fast as McDonals have gotten slower over the years.

I don't know how fast food is still in business. Around ~$36 before tip and tax to feed my family of 3 Thai food & the local Teriyaki place or maybe ~$45 for Chinese, and I'm in a HCoL area. Fast food ends up even more than that.

Agree on the apps, I hate them and they are not only predatory but buggy pieces of junk.
