It is "insane" over here in the Netherlands also;
- MC donalds "standard" menu; +-/ 15 Euros (used to be around 8-10 euros)
- Dominos Pizza medium "special"; 15+ Euros (used to be around 10 euros for the same pizza)
It's already close to a price hike of 50+ percent.
Went out to dinner with a few friends to a Korean BBQ place; 40 euros for all you can eat per person. It was nice but the amount of food that one should eat to get to the 40 euro treshhold is insane. I think I ate for a maximum of 15 euros of food.
Other places also aggressively jacked up their prices for the exact same menu and quality (or lack of). I just cannot be arsed anymore to eat out.
The new fastfood prices are getting closer to the restaurant prices pre inflation. I don't see any incentive to actually pay those prices for the lack of quality of the food.
I also see that the same fastfood chains 'quietly' implemented shrinkflation in regards of toppings or portion sizes so one gets screwed over double.
I liked to get some fastfood once or twice every 2 weeks, but I just cannot be bothered anymore.
the kicker is that for that 15 euros worth of fastfood I can get close to a weeks of selfcooked dinner.
I already see some grocery stores actually lowering the prices of certain items and aggressively put items on huge discounts.
Serious, what is the point?
The momentum to actually make a stand was after that 48 hours. Some subs actually made a stand but more than enough were happy with the status quo.
Are they gonna do another timed blackout or weak sauce post restriction strike?
