Why I now don't ever go there. The one dollar drinks and the fries was something I went to for a treat every once in a while, now I just not go to any of the fast food or even restaurants

Besides in and out because I know they won't change anything, they haven't changed anything sense idk forever

It's amazing watching the language of people who don't even realize they have an addiction.

If I'm going to spend $20 - $30 for a burger and fries and a drink, I will go to a local diner and give the money to people who need it, and who care about their food, and what's more, those burgers are almost guaranteed to be vastly superior in quality.

When I was young my friends and I would stop at a McDonald's for value-menu snacks on the way to paintball or my family would stop there when traveling for convenience and cheap food.

Now that the "cheap" is gone, what exactly are they offering? For the price of one of their meals I can buy ground beef and make burgers for everyone. I'm so confused how institutions like this survive. Oh yeah, a population addicted to fast fixes of sugar and high-calorie carbohydrates.
