How do fast food joints justify seeling overpriced slop?
Why would they need to justify it? They make more money by doing this.The people who should have to justify themselves are the ones buying overpriced slop.

>>21968794People keep buying despite them being overpriced. It’s the same with car prices. Going into debt for a 60k F-150 or Tacoma doesn’t matter if you can just finance it
Is that at an airport in California? The CBR is $1.40 something at my Taco Bell.
>>21968794Because people like you will continue to buy it. Don't pretend for a second that you don't.
>>21968794>overpricedIt's not over priced if people are buying it.
>>21968823it USED to be
>>21968823They always post doordash shit from a major metro area here, usually ripped from Reddit or Facebook or whatever on top of that. Don't trust any of them.

>>21968852>he trusts posts on 4chan
>>21968794Average salary for a STEM graduate is $120k/yr so this is basically exchanging 5 minutes of your time for a burrito. >But I was too dumb to get a math degree!Not my problem.
>>21968908Enjoy your industry's few remaining years as AI gets refined
>>21968908>>21968909>seething /sci/ STEM-fag vs hotheaded /his/ humanities-fagNEET daytrading /biz/chads stay winning!
Vote with your wallet you luddite
>>21968912chuddy melty
>>21968794>how justifyPeople buy
They aren't overpriced when using their app.
>>21968908you can always count on a person from STEM to mention their six figure salary at any time, in any context.
>>21968908lmao for someone claiming to be STEM you don't seem to understand how means work
>>21969086I also WFH.>>21969087I mentioned the median salary, obviously. The mean would be a mostly useless metric here. You should have learned in the course of your education that "average" and "mean" are different concepts.
golems like you keep coming in and posting about it lmao, If I were a meyer shekelberg I'd pump those prices up even higher lol fucking cattles
>>21969231Is that Johnny number 5? Johnny 5 stay alive?
>>21969221the most shocking aspect of this is the fact that they wanted to eat inside the taco bell
>>21968796Exactly! Businesses do what they can, not what they deem reasonable. If they thought they could charge £50 they would. God damn idiots will accept anything, that's why prices have increased so much (along with inflation). People set prices, not corporations. People will never get this
>>21969236The interiors used to be dope
>>21969221they had these same prices up until the 2010s
>>21968794people still buy it.therefore it's not overpriced.
>>21969116>No wait! I meant median! Median!Lmao retard
>>21968845It still is.
>>21969221You have to remember that 99 cents in 1999 was equivalent to about $150 in today's money. This was an extremely luxurious meal at the time.
>>21968794Their business-theory is that, if you're busy or dumb enough, to buy their slop, you'll pay outrageous prices and not care about the quality.
Taco Bell just posted 7% same store sales growth in Q4. They’re doing just fine.
>>219689092 more weeks bro
>>21969259Well technically free market competition is meant to keep pricing in check, the idea being that if there is room to lower prices a competitor could undercut you and steal your market share.Of course that's irrelevant when all the large players coordinate.>but that's price fixing!It certainly is! What are you gonna do about it? Call the FTC? Trump's DOJ? lol. lmao.Fact is that all the antitrust enforcement was gutted 50 fuckin' years ago.
>>21969715Hey undercut like crabs in a bucket, they're all getting rich together. The only thing I complain about is not being one of them
>>21969221I remember walking to taco bell after high school with my friends and being able to pay for an entire meal with pocketchange
>>21969757>the only problem with the present and future of mankind being a human face getting stamped on by a boot for eternity is that I'm not the boot!Asteroid when
>>21969771That hasn't always been my way of thinking.bit I realised the average person is a selfish piece of crap, also really really dumb. They deserve to get scammed, they're sometimes even aware of the scam and say lol whateverr. COVID also showed me some stuff.I'd selectively help a ton of people out though
>>21968794because i buy it. mmm avocado chicken stacker
>>21968908The time to get a STEM degree was 10 years ago
>>21969116When did you get in? It’s not looking good for recent grads considering what’s happening to entry level jobs. Higher level positions are doing great though
>>21969654>>21969715Taco Bell has raised prices the least of any fast food chain. They ARE undercutting the competition
>>21969757this is why america is doomed
>>21969221damn bro..........you mean in the past there was less people/money in the world and as a result things were cheaper? woah man..............i truly was le wrong generation.............
>>21968794cheesy bean and rice is like 1.29 at my taco bell.
They don't have to. People will keep buying
>>21971267it's insane that you say that because their gay, anemic little burrito bowl is half the size of a Chipotle burrito bown, and $2 more, and the chicken they put in it tastes like they took it out of a can and put it in the microwave.
>>21971384oh hey look its a cheesy gordita crunch i used to eat 2 of those for lunch, and it was only like $8, and then you order two and it's 16 fucking dollars and you're just like you know what nevermind.
>>21971431why the fuck would you get a burrito bowl at taco bell.
>>21971435They used to be cheaper. Also, Chipotle closes at 11, and the only reason I'll even consider Taco Bell is they're open untill 3 am. If I do get this shit monstrosity, it's with steak.
>>21971267>didn't raise prices>portion sizes got smaller classic bait & switch
