Most get the meal for 5 bucks.

Only in an alternate universe are you getting the meal for 5 bucks.

First they steal the election.

Then they double prices on everything.

Then they call us “haters” if we object.

But, people will not do this until they have no other choice.

By then it is far too late for a proper correction.

Just got lunch at Wendy’s in Littleton, CO.
$6 and change for two good sandwiches. Water is free.

My every-day lunch place!

I live in an expensive part of the country (PNW) but prices in the chart are way over the top. Ours are no where close to that.

Big Mac

Chart: $7.49
Adam’s Franchise, here: $4.79

Medium Fries

Chart: $4.19
Adam’s Franchise, here: $2.79

What’s the deal?

you’re right.I live in the Socialist Republic of Maryland. But even in a red state, you’re not getting a Whopper or Big Mac meal for 5 bucks.

I’m sorry, correction:

Big Mac here is $5.99, not $4.79

The Big Mac Medium Meal is $8.99

I always use app deals and rewards so never even pay those standard meal rates.

The insane state braying about minimum wage increases is what is behind most of the cost increases. What happens is the worker gets a higher per hourly wage, the owner has to raise prices to cover the added costs and the State pushes people into paying higher income taxes with no benefit gained. It’s a disgusting inflation loop.

[Part of the reason for soaring prices is the cost of labor but it is not the only cost. Mostly it is the justification for price increases. The soaring prices are also from greed and stupidity and taking advantage of a situation and hiding behind it. If the cost of labor doubles, even though it is only a fraction of costs, they double prices across the board. That is greed and stupidity and I have seen it many times before.]


Profit margins are what they were pre-pandemic. Many are lower. It’s not just fast food wages that are higher. Wages went up across the board. That rippled through in materials costs - suppliers have to pay their employees more, too.

A lot of consumers are college kids, commuters and folks on a small income. They are hit hard along with the high cost of fuel. The dims claim they are for the little guy, but their policies are screwing over all the little guys. Too bad too many of them are too stupid to figure that out.

Alright. I forgot tax. Sheesh. I lived in socialist state of Maryland until I moved to free Florida. I think you should come down when you can. It’s not bad.
