Enjoy your $30 Big Macs.
I’ve already quit buying any prepared food on the rare occasions I go to town. (although part of the reason is that mostly the quality has fallen as much as the prices have risen.)

Ditto. Unaffordable.
The government is incentivizing businesses to automate.
The other day I had a Doc Appointment that ran almost 2 hours long (not My fault) and I was extremely hungry so We hit the drive through window at Hardee’s. I haven’t been to a drive through in probably a year. We ordered: 1 hamburger, 1 cheeseburger, 1 small fries, 1 small soda and 1 chocolate shake. The Total was $14.48 !!!
The burgers were tiny, like 2.5” in diameter and.25” thick on a bun that was maybe 3” in diameter. Fries might have had 20 thin cut .25” x .25” x 3” and the drinks were maybe 8 oz.
When We got back to Our Town I got 1/2 pound of Sliced Brisket and it was $14.35 with pickles/onion and jalapeños on the side.
If I had known what the burgers and stuff were going to cost I would have gotten a candy bar, (then again a candy bar could cost $2.00) waited for the Brisket.
