Are they increasing their prices due to a falling amount of consumers into a death spiral?

The current recession is massive, however I can feed myself for a week with $80. How can they expect anyone to buy 20 wicked wings at $50 when they cost $8.99/kg at the supermarket
(25-30) wings

Fast food is one of the ways of keeping the masses quiescent. If they take that away then something major must be happening.

>>21661890
Use the coupons they mail out. It's still trash tier tho.
>>
>>21661894
that IS the coupons

>>21661891
I don't know who orders food now that it averages more than half a days wages for food + delivery.
Really blows my mind, either people are extremely wealthy, oblivious to the reality, or most probable is that they are fucking dumb
>>
>>21661897
It's just perfectly natural supply and demand in action. If cooking is such a difficult and rare skill for most people, and they're willing to pay such a premium to have their food cooked by someone else, then that's what they deserve
>>
>>21661890
It only seems these fast food prices have gotten ridiculous in the Western countries. A six inch sub at Subway here in SE Asia is $2.35 USD.
Medium Whopper Jr meal is the same price
Happy meal same price

Don't buy fucking wings. They have a 12 piece bucket for $15.99 deal at my location. That's breasts and thighs and legs and wings. And far more satisfying than just wings. What is it with you babies and your tenders and nuggies and wings? Do you require tiny food or something?
>>
>>21661890
What country is this from? Even in Australia 20 wicked wings only costs 35.9 AUD.

Wings are one of the easiest things to make on your own and you can get ahold of a dozen for like 5 bucks

>I don't know who orders food now that it averages more than half a days wages for food + delivery.
the same kind of logic that makes retards factor 2 packs of cigarettes or a 6 pack of beer a day into their budget as inevitable expenses, like rent or bills. i used to work with a bunch of zoomers and younger millennials who ordered from delivery apps for every like 2/3 meals because they couldn't cook and saw fast food as an inevitable expense that they had to pay for

They know US boomers and ebt sheeboons will keep lining up at the drive thru paying 50 bucks for 2 "meal deals"

They're increasing their prices in order to cover the cost of their ever-ballooning property taxes.
>>
>>21664003
>property taxes
Minimum wage actually.
>>
>>21664005
Hasn't changed at the federal level since 2009.
If the prices were due to changes in minimum wage they would vary much more wildly by state.
>>
>>21661890
probably milking those who can't help themselves due to being addicted and too retarded/"busy“ to make it at home

Why not?

>I can make fast food myself for cheaper
Are you just now figuring this out, retard? This has always been true.
>KFC
Also no one should ever eat this.

absolutely insane

you fucking retard. you dont even know.

Corporations are people too, buddy.

Oh, Australia. Ok, that makes more sense

>A six inch sub at Subway here in SE Asia is $2.35 USD.
Here in Canada it's $5.99 ($4.27 USD) pre-tax and I think with there being some kind of special deal going on. Easily one of the worst bang for your buck fast food places.
>>
>>21661890
They're running on fumes and trying to stay afloat as long as they can on addicted Gen X and millennials. Gen Z onwards have moved away from the major brands, not out of health concerns, but because they're too expensive.
>>
Makes you wonder who the target demographic for this is. It is someone with enough money, but just wants KFC slop. You can go get a filet with mashed potatoes and broccoli for less money.
>muh family
Any Chinese place will have a family tray of hibachi chicken and rice for like $40
>>
>>21661890
Working class wages have increased compared to Middle class wages. In situations some continue eating McDonalds and bitch how expensive it's gotten and get mad and tell you how they grew up poor and McDonalds was an indicator of a good week for mom and dad
Or you move up and you eat a bunch of cheap sandwiches you made all week and go to the French Restaurant that's now only twice the price of a McDonalds Meal on Friday for a good meal instead of cultural conformist comfort.

I don't know if they fucked with the recipe or I am just old but if I eat KFC I felt like shit for 2 days

for the poors, walmart sells the day olds for $1.50.

>implying Gen Z isn't absolutely imbibing themselves with slop
Sure they may not be eating the run of the mill fast food but they are still huge goyslop consumers.
