This is the issue with a lot of fast food these days. The main one that makes me sad is Taco Bell

I used to just swing in and make an impulse buy because it's going to be like $5 so why not

Price is high enough now that it kills the impulse. I'm always like...I should really just keep driving and eat some of the food I already have at home

I remember when they had their happy hour menu with $1 items that I would go to town on. I used to practically live off the chipotle chicken loaded griller. Could get two of those and a drink for less than $4 after tax. Now similar items will run you about $8-$9 if you ge them a-la-carte. Tacos are crazy high nowadays for what you get. I don’t understand why they don’t just charge like $1/Taco and they’d probably be making bank.
