All stupidly expensive

Port of Seattle negotiated "street pricing" (same as everywhere else in town) at Sea-Tac Airport, when I was participating in the $3.7B modernization project there.

My "go-to" fast food burger is the Baconator from Wendy's!!! It's been a few months since I had one.

A Whopper is $3 every Wednesday. I buy often one and bring it home to eat with my own drink or water. Pretty cheap eats. The app always has good deals (the same with McDonalds. On the BK App (under "offers"), I show $7.99 for a double whopper and fries; $7.99 for a Whopper, small fries and small drink; $13.99 for 2 Whoppers, two small fries and a drink; or simply an offer for 25% off everything you order. If you are really hungry, $22 will buy 2 Whoppers, 2 original chicken sandwiches, and 2 8-piece chicken nuggets.

The McDonalds app shows $.29 Quarter Pounder with cheese, Big Mac or 10 pc nuggets when you buy one; $9.99 for 20-pc McNuggets; $2.50 for 10-piece McNuggets; $6 Quarter Pounder with Cheese, medium fries, and medium drink; or 20% off of any purchase of $10 or more.

edit...a today only local special just popped up on McDonalds app... $9.99 for 20-piece McNuggets and 2 large fries.

Same here, I just can’t do it….once in a blue moon I’ll get chick filet and I always instantly regret it. Just can’t stomach fast food….

Wendys is busy implementing a Google AI ordering system.

One less person (usually a slight idiot, but that is on the the corp and these modern times)
One less job available to those who seek honest work.
I had almost a dozen jobs before the age of 18.
I used to prefer Wendys.

McDs is leading the way to full automation. Used to work there when food was real.
Maximum order time was 1.5minutes IIRC.
My memory might be wrong.

Sorry. But I will not pay full restaurant prices for substandard nutrition out of a big vending machine.

I could eat fast food every day...but even though it is really inexpensive, I don't...as I can eat at home for even less.

Of course, I usually do not eat a lot at a single sitting. Even with other restaurants, my wife and I almost always have enough for another meal left over to take home.

Where is you that a whopper costeds 11 bux? 11 taiwanese dollars is $0.34usd...

But who the hell would eat at burger king?

[red-beard]

3 bucks car fare, two fifteen for lunch, get a hot dog, shake and fries. You wind up making fifteen bucks a day, taking **** from nine to five.
Those big feet step step stepping on my toes!
Welll...I gotta gun

[stevej37]

We have the usual fast food places here...but if I go to one, it's usually Wendy's.
I still think the Dave's Classic burger is the best of all the places.

All right, I have to check local prices. A Whopper at Concord Mills, NC, just north of Charlotte) is $5.29. Quite a large range of prices!

[Pazuzu]

$11? That sounds like a normal price for a whonper at Kurger Bing.

For me, the price is irrelevant….I just don’t enjoy eating crap food. I’ve always thought eating healthy was generally more $$ though, in my observations. Hence, the obesity epidemic in poorer areas. Fast food is generally cheap relative to healthier options….

With some decent hot sauce, I'd rather eat a dawg turd burger instead of a Whopper these daze .... I can even get a decent semi fast-food Steak & Shake burger for 5 bucks and a great local burger at many joints for just a few bucks more.

I try to avoid even the good burger joints ... I sometimes fail

The best thing since CA keeps raising the minimum wage for fast food workers is fast food restaurants raised menu prices to the point I just stopped going to fast food places entirely.

Yeah, there's BK in Talladega AL where I lived for a year. A very poor town. I doubt anyone spends $11 for anything there except at the state run 'package' liquor store.

However, many will spend that kind of money on a pack of smokes, a 32 oz. Mountain Dew and a Twinkie, the Alabama breakfast of champions. But look at what you're getting!

I eat fast food fairly often. A whopper pretty much has a salad on it and I get it without mayo...so I suspect it is no worse for me than any other 1/4 lb of beef coupled with some bread (and a meal for $3 is a steal). I am not obese, take no medicines, and my blood pressure is perfect.

I am pretty sure that I could eat it every day and not get fat. When I go thorough periods where I eat a lot of fast food, I generally lose weight.

I get plenty of healthy food at home (that I make myself) ...but I really don't eat much food these days. Apparently, adults really don't need to. Who knew? One could save an awful lot of money. I don't think fast food is going to hurt me a bit, but who know? I could keel over today.

FYI: September 18th is national cheeseburger day...

I guess some of us are old.

The Habit and 5 Guys are good. The Barney Burger at Oaktree I am particular to. (I invented it)

I find the taste is lacking in a lot of establishments. Maybe because I eat less red meat over the years.

I still have a Birthday Post Card for a free Shakeys Bunch Of Lunch and they still honor every year since 1970. I also have one for McDonalds. I only eat at these two places once a year because its free.

[Jeff Hail]

Of course I can't leave out Mr. Box when he was actually just a box. Jack has done well.

Yup some of us are old.

LOL .... I started hankering for a 15 cent hamburger and 10 cent fries .... lookin' for 4 pennies now .... CHEESE too !

I remember visiting the local walkup MickyD's with my grandmother ... in prolly 64ish.... Cheeseburger had spiked to 25 cents ..... now THAT was inflation !
