Where I am, the price of fast food is just about equal to some restaurants. There's no point in doing fast food anymore.

There is a local hamburger joint 3 blocks from my house that is far superior in taste, with lower prices, why the fuck would I ever go to endys?

If that place isn't getting enough business, maybe you should suggest they advertise their prices.

A simple sign showing how their prices compare to the competition's goes a long way.

I probably wouldn't stop in a hole in the wall, just because they usually charge as much or more than chains. Doing what I suggest would change my mind, if the prices were right.

I wasn't implying they don't get enough business. They definitely do, it's the local jam. I'm not sure that they would appreciate any advertising, word of mouth is clearly enough.

I say this to some many people. Wendy's can get some good deals sometimes. Like BOGO spicy chicken, but if I order a meal from any fastfood place around me then just no. I would be better off just going to my Mexican restaurant across the street. On Tuesday is taco Tuesday (obvs) and you get 3 tacos, beans and rice for like $8-$9. They other deals weds, Thurs, but not as good as that Tuesday deal.

Same with me in Canada. I go local almost all the time other than my annual Burger King impossible Whopper

Seriously. Fast food just isn't for poor people anymore.

We have to use grocery stores.

Thankfully, grocery shopping online is much easier now.
