Fast food’s too expensive even without delivery expenses these days. Makes me sad.
I went to Chick Fila to get the pimento cheese and chicken sandwich.
I got the combo. Comes with fries and a drink.
$13 and change.
Got 2 double cheeseburgers and a coke at mcds, $12
That used to be less than $6. Like 5 years ago.
It’s more and more expensive to fund bigots these days
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. Let’s not judge others by the food they eat, that doesn’t do anything but divide us further.
That phrase applies more to things you can’t reasonably stop consuming, like plastics.
There are a few exceptions where there’s one capitalist producer who is significantly more divisive than the alternatives, and switching costs are extremely low.
Might as well buy blood diamonds and clothes made by child slaves. No ethical consumption derp durrrr hurrrr I so smart
Cool whataboutism, bro
Cool strawman, bro.
This thread is about inflation and price gouging. It is not about individual corporations political leanings.

Literally not a strawman.
How dare I mention a side topic!
Get over yourself.
lol that’s literally a strawman.
Denying the truth doesn’t make it go away.
Cheers bud.
Dude I just spent like 17$ on subway
It’s the worst!
Yes, Subway is the worst! Why are you buying it?
Unlimited fresh vegetables, and a good range of them, is pretty unique in the fast food scene. It may be getting pricey but it’s a good slightly healthy meal if you make good use of the vegetable topping. Don’t be like a child and just get a ham sandwich with no vegetables, that’s not what subway is for and yea it’s a terrible idea if you’re just getting meat cheese and a condiment
+$10 for pretty much every meal now. I guess fast food is trying to curb American’s fast food addiction by pricing them out of it.
Nothing is worse than my 3 piece Popeyes combo with fries and a Dr. Pepper going from $7.49 to $15 over 4 years.
Child war slaves are worse
But I get what you’re saying
Yeah but can you dip child war slaves in ranch?
Of course!

McDonald’s it’s still pretty good if you use the app. When I forget to bring lunch I get two spicy chicken sammies and a large drink for like $5 and you get points for free shit too. Not an ad but there are genuinely good deals in there if u just want cheap sustenance.
This comment is not really about you, but I really hate the McDonald’s app. The McDonald’s app has been super frustrating to use. It acts like it is loading a huge database. Each selection results in a 10 to 20 seconds wait for the next. Often selections don’t register.
Taco Bell’s app is great too use.
Weird I’ve had the complete opposite experience. Taco bell app is garbage and mcds is perfect haha
Probably different os and/or devices
Both are garbage peddling garbage.
Don’t worry, our bodies are thankful in the end!
How the hell do people afford this lifestyle.
They don’t. That’s why there’s souvh credit card debt
i don’t know why people need to shame each other for succumbing to the desire to Purchase when our entire society is designed to encourage it
While at the same time telling us to stop buying daily coffees and making avocado toast. Just another way to fuck us up.
It’s not so much trying to shame, it’s more like when one moth is telling his friend the other moth not to go into the light.
Because getting into debt for treats and shitty mcnuggies is bad (?)

There is a ton of shaming done. Politicians, ceos, newspaper headlines bitching about how no one wants to work, how people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, how a major economic depression with 50% joblessness will teach workers to appreciate their jobs and their bosses more.
As a food worker who’s absolutely fucking sick of delivery services I’m shaming them.
It hasn’t taken long for advertisers to find Lemmy.
MEAL PREP A DISH OF BEANS/ LENTILS FOR EMERGENCIES EVERY WEEK. Fuck uber
Lentils are cool but have you ever kept dehydrated peas in your house?
If db0 let an actual advertiser on our instance I’m sure they’d be nuclear pissed
Anybody can post here, even advertisers.
I’m aware. Judging by OPs history and the fact they’re dbzer0, a piracy and anarchy instance, I doubt it’s uber would want their name associated bvvqqqqq. I was mostly joking anyway.
Oooh, I get it now. Thank you for explaining, sorry I didn’t get it right away.
I’m glad you could glean my thoughts out of that abomination of a comment haha. I don’t even know what word I meant to say with that jumbled mess
I checked the other day and McDonalds was charging $3.49 per hash brown on one of the delivery apps.
That was as far as I got before boiling water for oatmeal.
The fast food worker seeing a door dash order pop up on the screen 5 minutes before closing
You can setup availability times in the merchant portal. If this has happened to you, it’s because of your shitty management.
For real? Management?
I know, those guys usually do whatever they can so the staff has an enjoyable experience.
/s
Yeah in my experience the vitality, finances, and comfort of employees is always paramount to good ol’ management! Especially the owner who visits every 3 months!
Thanks for the ad i guess
i can’t tell if i’m too old now or what but over the last year i’ve gotten insanely radicalized against corporatism and can’t stand seeing brand names anywhere. i remember sometimes i’d use them in normal posts, but reading others do it really makes it sound like an ad
Why not double the price of your order and get it slower
Go home Uber eats ad team.
Have I stumbled upon a conspiracy about advertiserss?
Waaaiiit a minute here. What exactly are you planning to eat?
TIL Jean de la Fontaine also wrote smut.
Paying triple is good enough reason for me. Haven’t used it since the lockdown.
There should be a chastity belt on Uber Eats with a dollar sign for a keyhole.
I’m TheControlled and I approve this message.
For real. I still regularly lose the “make my own vs. takeout” battle, but a nice evening drive is better than paying $80 for a $40 2-person meal.
*$80 for a $10 2-person meal (if you made it yourself probably)
The thought of giving Uber any money usually loses me my appetite anyway
And even if i somehow give in theres no world where im affording it
Uber Eats is not worth the money anymore. I haven’t ordered in 6th months and haven’t looked back.
Ah yes, I’d love to watch a car drive to different restaurants and deliver to other houses while my food is getting cold on their passenger seat instead of just getting it myself. Fuck these delivery apps, it’s always more trouble than it’s worth.
If you don’t have one already you should get a slow cooker. Super easy to make all sorts of meals, just chuck some stuff in it in the morning and come back some time later to a delicious hot meal.
Good slow cooker beans and rice recipe here: https://coopcancook.com/creamy-crock-pot-red-beans-recipe/
Incredible potential for this format
