Why are fast food places charging premium prices for slowed down food with cheaper ingredients? If I'm gonna spend over $10 or over 10 minutes at a place you bet your ass it isn't gonna be a fast food joint. It's gonna be a place with real ingredients and an atmosphere that isn't overflowing toilets.
Or at the very least it's going to be an upscale fast food place. Church's Chicken, not KFC
While I like Church's Chicken better than KFC I definitely wouldn't call them more upscale. In fact I've never seen a Church's that wasn't in the hood.
Yeah, I read that and thought "If this person thinks Church's is 'upscale fast food', where do they normally go, soup kitchens?"
McDicks, so even lower than soup kitchens :P
But I have been informed that my local Church's is unusually nice, they aren't all like that
Heh. The only Church's I know is pretty fancy; must depend on the area
Is that a nationwide thing? It feels weird over here, but yeah, it seems like a lot of the midrange/sit down restaurant small chains just never changed their prices.
The smaller restaurants kept their prices tracking actual inflation to maintain their customer base. Lately they have been enjoying increased business because of the nationals screwups.
The local Greek place $65.
The best taco truck in town is $55.
For $75 I can get my local family owned Thai place with leftovers for the next day.
DQ, McD, Subway, KFC, all run between $60-75.
For $70 I can even get my family chipotle and enjoy the guaranteed food poisoning a few hours later.
