I actually really like fast food, but I manage my diet pretty closely, so I only have it once a week anyway, and I'd just as soon buy ten frozen burger patties and make the burger myself than pay surge pricing.

I'm not one of the whale customers they're looking for.

Do whales go to Wendy’s?

If this surge pricing was localized to higher waged locations then I'd be down for it. This might help with gentrification.

With that said, I am eating a burrito bowl at chipotle right now and it fucking costs $23 here.

Damn where the heck do you live? Where im at is above average COL, in the top 15-20 of the states depending on year, and I got one two days ago for just under 10 bucks.

I think at this point I only ever go to fast food places when a friend who loves fast food places is over and we happen to go get food. Happens maybe once every couple of years.

I think I'm at an age that if I want burgers or barbecue or something unhealthy or greasy is rather make it myself and have it be extra dirty and less expensive.

I only go there if I happen to get a craving for them and am very hungry, which isn't very often. Maybe once every few months.

Yeah this is mostly me. I eat McDonald’s sometimes but can find alternatives. Or make my own.

I think it’s been ten years since I’ve been to a Wendy’s.

I live in a small town without any stores. There's a pizza place that makes nice pizza though. We eat pizza from that place ~1-3 times per year.

I dont even remember the last time i was at mcdonalds or similar. its been at least a couple of years..

This seems like one of those artificial issues that don't really matter to anyone serious. Creating a fake sense of conflict. If anything the entire country is experiencing surge pricing for every fast food restaurant in comparison to other countries

I gave up fast food for chinese buffets. I get a lot more variety, I can eat as much as I want and the price is reasonable. I'm done with waiting at drive-thrus or lines just to be served greasy bags of underwhelming quality.

Buffet aren’t healthier!!!

[–] loveluvieah 1 points 8 months ago

I don't think they were comparing it to being healthier, just more variety, and you can eat as much as you want for a more reasonable price than fast food. Which is true, right?
