Chain restaurant fees are getting absurd

I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits.

I cancelled my order and got local street tacos instead.

I grabbed a single burger at Wendy's last weekend and it was $6.50. That was my last trip to Wendy's....I expected half that!

I have to say, where I live Wendy's is actually cheaper than McDonald's, so if I'm craving a cheeseburger I hit up Wendy's instead. But yeah prices for fast food are absurd nowadays.

Same here. Literally no reason to go to McDonalds these days, worse food for a worse price.
