  • MORE SUFFERING!

    "McDonald’s and Chipotle say customers are trading down, visiting less
    often as inflation hits budgets"

    "On average, restaurant menu prices rose 7% in the three months ended
    May compared with the year-ago period, according to the NPD Group.
    During the same period, consumers from households with income under
    $75,000 cut their fast-food visits by 6%, the market research firm said."

    OH MY GOODNESS! 6%! The next thing you know people will be eating breakfast at home and carrying a lunch box. Remember those days? The
    suffering was just awful.

    It's been a long time since I considered fast food inexpensive.

    It's been a long time since I considered fast food.
    Unless you consider Waffle House eggs, bacon, and a waffle fast food.
    In which case, it's been 3-4 years. That's long by some
    metrics.....short by others. And for some people, literally
    unthinkable and outrageously disgusting.

    Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.
