Always some clocks get missed. Must do this on the weekend so everyone can be on time Monday.
Yups...
It's all over ticktok and youtube.
Fast food places seem to forget they are the cheap food options.
Heck you can get MORE food at chili's with wither 3 for meal deal.
Or the local mom/pop restaurant like round the clock, the wheel, Petros, commandos you can get a soup/salad, drink, meals and dessert for $15 to $20.
Again fast food seems to have forgotten this.
I pretty much stopped going out to eat except for very special events.
I do drive a lot. So hard not to hit an occasional drive thru.
I broke down and got hungry for fried chicken and pulled into Popeyes. I ordered 2 pieces of chicken alacarte, no drinks, no nothing else, girl at the window said the tab would be about $8. I said for real. She said yup. I said nah. Drove away. $8 for 2 pieces of chicken!
I did notice a double cheeseburger at McD is someting like $3.69, but you can get a 2nd one for $1 more. Arby's has similar deals, big fish sandwiches are 2 for $6.
I tend to have multiple beverage choices in my car at all times so I don't order a drink. Skip the french fries, really never liked them anyway. I can get thru a fast food joint for $5 to $7. But it's all garbage food. I go only when I really NEED something and I'm too far from home to wait any longer.
BEAR IN MIND I DON'T BLAME the restaurants. Labor in many areas is close to $15 for unskilled kids who can't count change. Ingredients are up. So it's just damn expensive. They got to pass on the costs. But while I don't blame them, I choose to drive past them a lot more than I used to, or, if really pressed for food, I get "value meal" options.

Wow, really? Good to know. I rarely carry more than $20 or so.
(Waiting on @darkkevin to tell us it's garbage anyway.)
What I don’t get is how are the “real” restaurants cheaper than fast food? Because they don’t pay the servers? That’s about the only difference in supply chain / labor between the two. And fast food places buy stuff by the ton and on contract you would think they are getting things cheaper than 12 islands in crown point… prices in sit down places have raised but not by the % fast food joints have.
$40 can feed my family of 4 at a sit down family restaurant or the same at fast food… pretty easy choice. Being broke atm makes the choice even EASIER lol
Value meal means cheapest thing you can get and still hungry.
Agreed, G Jin is my preference, but sometimes I just don't want to make the trip.
Exactly. If it's morning and I'm desperate, I may pay $3 for a cup of coffee, but then Mom and I share it because neither of us drinks that much. Soda/iced tea/dessert? No way. Water and then stop at Strack's on the way home for a carton of Blue Bunny Butter Pecan Caramel Praline. Six servings for less than the price of one dessert.
Left? I don't know if there ever were any good ones in CP, at least not in the last 14ish years that I've lived here. Its disappointing really cause I love me a good Chinese meal from time to time.
When I worked at Zel's in high school they were machine ice cream, but the flavor was mixed in from what was essentially sundae topings (strawberry chucks in syrup, chocolate syrup, banana chucks in syrup, etc).
What I don't understand is the discrepancy between the prices in Popeye's ads and the prices once you get there. I am always seeing ads for a two or three piece wing lunch with a side and biscuit for $3.99 or $4.99, yet last time we went there, I couldn't find that option and we paid $22 for the same thing for the two of us. Maybe they are temporary specials, or maybe the CP Popeyes does not participate?
