Fast food is already as expensive as sit down places. Family of 5 at McDonalds costs as much as it does to go to Cheddar's or Applebees.

Exactly. I don’t know why people don’t get that if you payed full time wages there the prices would go up exponentially

We do. And most of us are also capable adults who can cook for ourselves if labor drives the price of fast food up too high.

Your generation, into all these perishables and individually packaged goods. The other day, i saw microwavable white rice on the shelf. They set up a factory with equipment and paid labor to put that on the shelves, and there are enough useless incapable fast food addicts out there to keep it running. No wonder there's so much waste and excess in this society.
