3 in 4 Americans typically eat fast food at least once a week, but the majority are eating it less due to rising prices, according to a LendingTree survey.
Fast food has been so ratfucked over the past few years that it wouldn’t be worth it if they hadn’t increased prices by 30%+ to match a sit-down restaurant’s. When you get a fraction of the food and it’s worse, a fast food restaurant adds nothing. Even the convenience is meaningless now that I can order online from most places and it’s ready by the time I get there.
Where I live fast food and a large chunk of sit-down food is the same price, excluding tip. I just order takeout now. Saves money and I always have leftovers.
