>Fast food places: Man business is hurting lately>Stop making your food more expensive than restaurants>Fast food places: I just can't figure out why people aren't into it lately>A Big Mac shouldn't cost $18.99>Fast food places: I guess the customers lately are all just eating at home>Lower your fucking pricesWhy would fast food places rather go under than lower their prices by even a dollar or two across the board? Maybe even bring back the dollar menu.
fast food is bad for you so this is a good thing
>>21890422Yep, hopefully it keeps rising and people stop eating this shit
>>21890411damn, doubled in 10 years, can you even make that much by investing in the dow jones or the s&p 500?
>>21890422its bad for you cause ur fat>>21890411combine coupons and offersgot two big macs deliverd for 37 eurocents
>>21890445Using their lottery system doesn’t make it okay, it just makes you a fast food cuck>>21890411What a terrible graphic lolWhy was it designed to show the highest percentage as the shortest line? Why is 67% a longer line than 88%?
>>21890411The average person who goes maybe once a week will probably stop going altogether from the inflated prices, but the fast-food addict who goes 3+ times a week, like me, won't care. No app, no coupons, no deals, just orders the same slop for years, decades even.
>>21890411>Why would fast food places rather go under than lower their prices by even a dollar or two across the board?because they don't care about the consumer. NO industry across our society does anymore. they realize they can continue to rape their customers and nothing will happen. we need a cap on shareholder returns, that's the only thing that will fix this enshittification. but good luck because i guarantee whichever congressperson proposes that will end up committing suicide within the week.
>>21890411It's called Inflation. Literally everything costs more now that actually costs anything to produce.
>>21890411When your government creates billions out of thin air, you can either pay more taxes to pay for it, or suffer inflation as the dollars devalue.The price jumps you’re seeing? Congrats. Every billion dollars sent to Ukraine to protect Biden’s corruption from Russian revelation, you pay for. Every billion dollars Biden and Trump send to Israel so the Jews can slaughter Muslims and Christians alike you pay for. One way or another. You want cheap burgers, stop printing money to give away for free to corrupt, insane, genocidal shit-pot third-world nations full of religious lunatics and nonwhites who absolutely hate you.
>>21890518lolnothe economy is fake and gay, creating billions doesn't do shit
>it's called fast food>they take more time to make a fucking burger and fries than a restaurant at making an actual dishlast time I had to wait 40 minutes for a wrap, considering the price increase it's no wonder people are not eating at fast foods anymore
>>21890411>people spend decades demonising fast food for making their food cheap to "appeal to poor people, contributing to their lack of health">fast food places raise prices so poors don't rely on them, people demonise them for "pricing out poor people"
>>21890518there are more Christians in Israel than in Palestine
>>21890536>honest fast food corporation executives>stingy "glp-1" dieters>crying lady liberty"I'm hatin' it"
>>21890536The prices aren’t being raise to help poor people, what a stupid fucking take.
>>21890411The 1 dollar mcchicken saved my life in college
>>21890411>1.00$Crawling in my crawl
>>21890448>Using their lottery system doesn’t make it okay, it just makes you a fast food cuckGet you into the app so they can surge price you, but im guessing Europe doesnt put up with that crap because they have stronger consumer protections
>>21890435I made more than that in real estate. Bought my house in 2012 and it tripled in value by 2022 (then dipped slightly thereafter). Wife and I bought a second property that we're renting out so that's fun.
>>21890549I didn't say that, thinskinned-kun. What I said was they adjusted their brand image in response to bad PR. they care not a jot about whether poor people are or are nor wrecking their health eating garbage, they care quite a lot though about the public perception of them doing that.
>>21890585If they cared about that, they’d be talking about quality to justify the pricesBut they aren’t, they’re just continuing to do meme promotions like friends and SpongeBobIt was a stupid thing to say, you won’t convince me otherwise
>>21890457That still fucks them over because they lose a large portion of their customer base. Then they either reduce their prices to a reasonable level again or truly put your nuts in a vicegrip by redoubling prices because the core addicts will pay it.
>>21890457>the fast-food addict who goes 3+ times a week, like meif you're really going that often, you really should use their apps. you're literally leaving free savings on the table. you have no reason not to.
>>21890411>workers demand more money>they get more money>prices double>people don't know why it happenedwhat were you expecting?
>>21890608https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/mcopco-wage-raise.html>10% increase one portion of operation costs(wages)>triple cost of productI was expecting you not to be this much of a bootlicking retard but that was expecting too much apparently.
>>21890411>Lower your fucking pricesthey can't lower their prices, that's the point. most fast food places don't own their building/land, they lease it. real estate is inflated as hell. wages and 'raw material inputs' (beef, buns, etc.) are also through the roof.
>>21890411>fast food places: want to keep growing their profits>consumers: huhh wtf?? Why do they raise their prices???
>>21890465It's not actually inflation, it's corporate profits. Restaurants like Chili's are actually cheaper than fast food places now despite providing better quality
>>21890655I don't have my finger on the pulse when it comes to normie trends. Are they figuring it out yet, or will they forever keep eating at big corpos?
>>21890674If anything I see them keep trying to raise prices further. The only way they could "figure it out" is if one of them started making cheaper meals and it became a big success, so they all just started following suit You know like actual competition, like capitalism or something. At the moment they've all settled into a comfortable rut with each other where none of them lower and prices so no one has to lose any money, only loser is the consumer
>>21890676I mean are the normies figuring it out?
>>21890457Well you are not only an addict but also a fucking retard leaving all those coupons and points on the table.
>>21890608Workers are getting wage "increases" to compensate for inflation but it's a drop in the bucket, leaving most people just more frustrated when they get 5% more per month, while everything costs nearly twice as much.And than you have this troglodyte, thinking this is the reason, probably upset how these wagies could get more money, how audacious.All while giants like McDonalds act like they only have the best in mind for their precious employees
>>21890411>Why would fast food places rather go under than lower their prices by even a dollar or two across the board?they're in the real estate business.the slop is just to offset the cost of the real estate.if they "go under" they can always rent the building out.
>>21890563>consumer protectionsimagined being so sucked that you need some chick in a knee length skirt to draw up legislation for your protection.just stop buying things from shitty companies and the problem fixes itself.>inb4 "what about other people still buying?"we outlaw their existence.
>>21890411>Lower your fucking pricestell sysco and maines to lower theirs.
>>21890736So it's cool if a chick in a knee length skirt writes up legislation to outlaw stupid people? Sounds hot
>>21890411this is one of the worst fucking graphs I've ever seen holy fuck
I used to get a pack of 8 chicken breast for $4 in the early 2010s. Now it's $8-10 for 2. A collapse is imminent at this point
American complain about fast food makes me chuckle. In Europe like a McDonald's will easily run you >30chf (like 49 fat faggot pédophile money$)
>>21890608>wage increases by 50% (10>15/hr)>prices increase by 300%>this is the fault of the workers getting paid more
>>21890997Stop flexing mountain jew
>>21890521Food prices are borderline 1-1 with increases in the money supply. Can you spot the point when Bretton Woods Agreement broke?
>>21890411
>>21890736>surge pricing is goodYou know regulations exist to protect you from more than the hamburglar right?
>>21890736>HURR DURR WE DUN NEED NO PRUDEGTION BY GUBMINT, DA GUBMINT JUST NEEDS DA MEAK US STOP BUYING BAD THINGS
>>21890608From what I've seen, franchises like McDonalds just cut down on the number of employees and just relies more on people using the Kiosk or apps now.
>>21890411Big Mac is 2.47 USD in Taiwan. Don't ask me how I know ;;))))
>>21891104How do you know it?
>>21890568Bragging about making money off property values is like a fat bitch bragging about having big tits.
>>21891097They've invested in automation. Even though they've increased their store count since 2014, at the start of that year they employed 440k people. Now they only employ 150k. When people think about automation, they think of a place with nothing but robots. Instead it's machines operated by humans that reduce the number of steps needed to prepare something. Some of this happens in the stores but they also have increased how much of the food is mostly ready to eat coming out of centralized food prep hubs that ship the items off to the stores for final prep before serving.
>>21890411>A Big Mac shouldn't cost $18.99a big mac and medium fry cost about $11 here.
>>21890422no it is not.
>>21890411>$1.00 bar is over half the height of the $2.99 bar right next to itWhy are people so bad at making graphs
>>21891138don't tell anyone but I ate 6 of em on my trip
>>21891165Yes it is, fatlump.
>Wages have doubled at mcdonalds for minimum wage workers. in some places they get paid $20 per hour. wages have gone up because of problems getting people to work in FF.>wage all along the supply chain have increased.>forced health insurance>gas prices go up>politicians that don't follow through on promises>shortages because of disease in meat animals>inflation all along the supply chainall these things get passed directly or indirectly to the consumer that is the way it works, and has worked all through recorded history.you can scream "corporate greed" all you want but if the prices get too high then companies close locations or go out of business completely. so companies are forced to either cut employees, costs, quality, quantity or all of those things. Y'all are getting exactly what you wanted. now you get what you deserve.
>>21891174wrong but bandit.
>Look at X increasing prices!>Meanwhile everyone everywhere has increased prices in a similar fashion (and/or done a shrinkflation)
>>21890608>>21891185In Sweden fast food places has always had decent wages and prices are better here than in America.I don't understand why mutts are so hellbent on defending people working for a slave wage and not making a living.
>>21890411Dominos>improves their quality>nationwide $8 large>feeds 2-3 people >always getting orders of 30 to 80 pizzas for schools and businessesFunny how that works.
>>21891203>improves their qualitywat>feeds 2-3 peoplewat
>>21890521When there is an increase in the money supply that outpaces the growth of goods and services provisioned, it takes more dollars to buy the same goods and services. This isn’t arcane or esoteric knowledge, it’s basic supply and demand in a fiat currency economy. Applies to food as much as it does cars or mobile phones.>>21890537What does that have to do to do with Israel killing Palestinian Christians in Gaza, dumbass?
>>21890536>people spend decades demonizing fast food places for selling shitty garbage to poor fatties>fast food places raise prices to increase profit margins, people demonize them for selling overpriced shitty garbage to rich fatties
>>21890518> you want cheap burgers, stop printing moneyLet me get right on that chief, I’ll just call up my bff Kevin and make sure he knows what i expect him to do come May
>>21891185>you can scream "corporate greed" all you want butno other country on the planet has the issues the us does. its a completely self inflicted problem, and you're defending it FOR FREE
>>21892807Maybe not as bad but the inflation is global, all the small burger types used to cost 1€ and you could even get an assortment of 6 of them for 5€.The exact same thing would now cost you easily over 10, with cheese burgers and chicken "sandwiches" costing more than double now and even the shitty Hamburger™ costs more than an €.
