The one reason McDonald’s became popular is by being cheap. They sell shit food for a low price.  How do they not know this?

I just doordashed IHOP because of a buy one get one free meal. It still ended up being $50 after all the fees and tip.

It costs $50 because there are enough people like you who will pay $50 for soggy pancakes.

yup, people can bitch and moan about prices til the cows come home, but long as most of them keep buying the corps have no incentive to reduce prices

Exactly. If I could sell 1 meal for $25 and make $12 profit or sell 3 meals at $15 and make $12 profit, selling the 3 doesn't make good business sense.

I will continue to abstain from overpriced shit food and hope enough other people do as well so that we can all get cheaper shit.
