      Idk about boycotting but I’ll tell you that I haven’t had McDonald’s since I went and it was like $20+ for two people for some breakfast sandwiches (meals). I’d rather buy the frozen ones or just have none. Like everyone else, we don’t have a ton of extra money and if we do go out, we want our value for our time.

      I got used to thinking about money being time. If you make 15/hr then one meal is roughly one hour. Don’t think of your dollar, think of how many hours something costs.

      I’m stunned people are bitching about fast food prices. Just don’t? FFS, what do you expect?!

      “I keep buying and prices keep going up!”

      Yeah. That’s how it works. Have you considered maybe stop giving them money?

        But but, people of limited means don’t have any option but to…overpay for fast food? Yeah that’s it. There’s just no competition in the food game at all… You’re forced to eat big macs even if they’re $3500 a mac… Because that’s the only option you have as a poor person I assume…or something.

      There’s this one McDonald’s on this busy road where we live and I jokingly started calling the right lane the “McDonald’s lane” because so many cars in that lane were always turning in. I realized earlier this week that these days most cars drive past instead.

        Here it’s Popeye’s… which they seem to have at least maintained a decent quality/price ratio. Their wait times are atrocious though. Zaxby’s is even worse, but they at least have a big enough parking lot to stay out of the road. That line has taken a half hour to move up 1 car length before.
