I see a lot of complaints about fast food being and other meals becoming much more expensive than usual. I know it’s true because grocery prices are absurd, but I genuinely don’t know what’s considered “expensive” with fast food.
I just instinctively know it’s expensive and never eat out. Like $8 for one small smash burger just seems absurd to me, but apparently that’s always been normal?
I didn’t really eat at restaurants before, but then COVID happened and working from home became far more common. Now I work from home a lot of the time, so I just cook at home most workdays just like I normally do. Being vegan (BTW) has somewhat limited my options too.
As a result, I really don’t know what anything costs at a restaurant anymore, but whenever I happen to see a menu the prices seem ridiculous to me, even at fast food places which I thought were never worth spending any money in before the prices shot up.
