• Fast Food Prices

    From The Godfather@21:3/165 to All on Sun Mar 27 20:51:12 2022
    Hey all .. I have 3 kiddos living at home and we used to get fast food once per week, however since the increase to the grocery bill we have cut out, well, eating out, from our budget.

    I do however remember the price of beef almost doubling, yet the hamburger joints somehow sustained the same low prices. We had ordered from Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, which the entire family normally loves on occasion. The hamburger was horrible, as if they lowered the grade if not even changed out the animal meat served (joking but it was not good). A week later we tried 5 Guys, again horrible.

    Curious to know, are the Fast Food places:
    1. Prices going up or staying the same?
    2. Quality or portions same or worse/smaller?
    3. Are they even open most of the time?

    That last question -- we drive by a Wendy's daily and half the time notice an 8x11 paper on the drive through window stating "closed due to staffing shortages."

    Crazy times we're living in.

    ... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.

    In Spain, for what I have seen, Fast Food conditions have not changed by much _yet_.

    Regular grocery is going up in price and down in supply. Transport agencies have gone
    on strike because they can no longer make a living with the current gas prices so
    things are getting hard for city folks, since food-stuff is just not being delivered
    to a number of towns.

    I expect Fast Foods in Spain to go down in quality rather than inflate the prices,
    unless they have no option. Our way is always to lower the quality first :-)

    I did notice the portion of Fries at a drive-through seemed to be less than before - nothing else of note.

    Lots of signs asking to pay with credit cards or to provide exact change.
