McDonald's is almost the cost of places like Five Guys in many areas now. They have priced themselves out of fast food into fast casual, but still providing the same product. And people are starting to notice finally.
Less than a decade ago I was able to get a McDouble, McChicken and small fries for $3+tax. Now the McChicken alone is more expensive than that, and the three together are nearly $9 here.
That's not inflation, it's not based on increases in materials cost or labor cost. It doesn't cost them 3x as much to make those items now, it's just raised prices for profit and excuses to try and justify it.
