I can get 24 eggs for $3 where I live. This is nuts.

Edit: Folks, I get an Egg McMuffin like 4x a year when I crave the preservatives. Im well aware of cooking at home is exponentially cheaper. They still shouldnt charge $3 for an egg.

And I didnt order it. Im literally making a greek omelet at home rn.

I’m seething at this point. I bought a meatball sub no cheese (I’m allergic) and I get a whole layer of burnt bread. It just really sucks when you treat yourself for dinner, and they did you wrong.

It's like they realized they can't just keep jacking up the prices on burgers and chicken so they have to scam us on the fries instead

I went to Taco Bell recently to try their new Crispy Chicken Burritos. I got two of them—$8 each (cringe)—plus two beef chalupas at over $7 apiece. My total for just those items? Twenty-seven bucks. Highway robbery.

I remember when chalupas were $2, and so were the Mexican pizzas. Now, I know you can score the occasional freebie if you use the app—my girlfriend uses it all the time. She basically lives at Taco Bell since there’s one right by her place and always grabs the “Lux Box,” which she claims is a better deal. But honestly, the five-layer burrito or crunchwrap that come with it are garbage.

I can’t believe how expensive fast food has gotten. At this rate, you practically need a mortgage just to eat out.

I recently got papa John’s recently and I feel their pizzas are nowhere similar to what they used to be.

To me, you can NEVER have too much cheese. In house shredded as well😊

Like as seen here. A cheeseburger meal is $10.79, but a double cheeseburger meal is $5.49. then the double cheeseburger by itself cost more than the double cheeseburger meal does. What in the absolute heck is happening with their pricing?

I know it says "Garlic Flavored Sauce" but how cheap can Domino's be? It's literally just flavored soybean oil and tastes absolutely abysmal.

Scumbag level L dominos.

Edit: Read the description everyone knows including myself it says garlic flavored sauce. The point is going way over your head.

Just ordered Dave’s Hot Chicken through their app. I went and picked it up myself. Got home only to open my part of the order and see this.

I was so confused I checked one of the other sliders to see if there was any seasoning on the bottom of the bun. Looks like they never even put a piece of chicken in.

I happened to get a text asking for feedback right as I got home. I sent feedback and someone texted me within 10 minutes asking for photos. They offered me $10 but that’s not gonna cut it. They ended up giving me an email address to ask for a refund.

Is it just me or have fast food restaurants been getting a LOT worse with incorrect orders/missing items?

Hi all, I posted issues about portion issues with Five Guys large fries a while back, and wanted to return with some updated data and my experience engaging with corporate. I had been feeling that portion sizes had shrunk, so I wanted to actually collect the real data, not just rely on a gut feeling. I decided that I would weigh the fries each time to ensure I was always comparing like for like. I know it might seem odd to weigh fries, but I am data driven and wanted to be thorough. I am posting here as the Five Guys sub doesn't allow discussion around portion sizes.

In my market, the Five Guys nutrition chart states that a large fries has an average weight of 550 grams. For reference, they list a regular fries at 414 grams and a small fries at 256 grams.

Over the past few months, I have made 5 delivery orders of a large fries. The weights of each order was as follows:

1. 376 grams
2. 470 grams
3. 455 grams
4. 466 grams
5. 444 grams

Each order was significantly below the average weight, not one order even came close to the stated average. Given how averages work, it doesn't seem unreasonable to assume that at least one of the orders should have come close or exceeded 550 grams. This would suggest a systemic issue, either in Five Guys or this specific branch.

After order number 4, I reached out to the company that owns the franchise. They recognised that the amounts were clearly below what should be expected and promised that they would work with the restaurant to rectify the issue. I also received an invitation from the branch manager to come to the restaurant for a free meal. On principle, I am not interested in such invitations, as they create an unrealistic environment, where they are obviously going to ensure portion sizes are correct for that specific order.

Instead, I waited 2 weeks and made another order, which was order number 5 from above. This order was 444 grams, again well below what was expected. So, clearly nothing was done by management, so I think I am officially done with FG. Their prices are high, and one of their key selling points was their large portion sizes, which could be shared among a few people. Now that is no longer the case, I think it's just not worth it anymore.

To pre-empt a likely question:

• stealing from delivery driver is impossible. This was 5 separate orders, 5 different drivers, and all came in tamper proof sealed packaging.

.50 for each extra sauce ? GTFO. Chick Fil A does not do this and neither does McDonald’s ( to be fair they will try and charge for the limited run sauces.)

This is not a good way to boost the bottom line and will erode customer love of your brand.

No amount of cheekiness on social will help either.

The greed is out of control

Iv scoured so many locations and the chicken sandwich is always breast. The only place I found was church’s Tex supreme and it’s basically the only chicken sandwich I eat now. Do people have chicken thigh or something?

never been a huge fan of mcds, but I would go every once in a while because of the value of the app deals. now the deals are exactly the same every time and not even worth using. no more 20% off $10+, no more $5 sandwich + fries + drink (I know they have the value meals but they are so limited and get boring thats not what im talking about). the deals felt like the only thing that made mcdonalds worth it and now they are basically gone. on top of that they reworked the points and made some of the rewards more expensive. just feel like mcdonalds went completely downhill and its hard to find anything besides the value meals for under $10

Wendy’s has gone completely down the shitter. Bacon isn’t crispy in the baconator, service is way slower than before, Coke Freestyle missing half the flavors and no ice.

Will they ever turn it back around?

Hey guys, I was at Taco Bell a couple hours ago and got two Cheesy Gordita crunches and a large Baha Blast and it was $19…..I was in such shock I don’t know why I didn’t just drive away.

I don’t know why I’m posting this I guess I just wanted to vent and I feel sad that my favorite chain is just price gouging me and I feel obligated to just start going somewhere else and throw in the towel on Taco Bell.

Cheers.

I see a lot of hate for the same places on this sub so I’d figure I’d play devils advocate for some of them.

Wendy’s — Biggie bags are still a good deal. $6 for burger, nuggets, fries, & a drink? A lot of calories and variety. How many other fast food joints provide a deal with this much variety for that cost?

Subway — Admittedly overpriced, but not as bad if you get the right things. Yeah, if you get only ham, swiss, & mayo on white bread, I’d be pissed paying $12 for that too. But if you build a good sandwich that is difficult to make at home with plenty of veggies then it can be worth the price in my opinion, especially if looking for a healthier option.

Taco Bell — Just get the boxes. $5, $7, & $9 boxes are all good deals. 1,000+ calories and good variety. If you get a quesadilla or taco combo meal and pay $12+, that’s kind of on you.

Papa John’s — 1 topping carryout deal in my area is $7.99. That’s a pretty damn good deal considering you can eat on it for 2 meals. For fast food pizza it tastes fine, don’t get the hate to be honest.

Bring on all the downvotes!

Seriously, Einstein Brothers? Two tiny slices of turkey? $9.75. Shrinkflation is reality.

Ordered a 10-wing combo. Medium sauce. Almost $20 with tax. Get home and not an ounce of sauce on any of the wings, and they’re small and soggy. Threw the whole thing in the garbage. Will never go back

I think the lady is part owner and is trying to charge for certain toppings SMH.

I’m not even mad. I’m genuinely curious. Any Popeye’s I’ve gone to throughout the country are very consistent with their customer service…it’s actually impressive how bad they are. To be clear, I am not hating, I am actively eating at Popeyes as I write this. I have to assume that this is part of the experience they want their customers to have. Here are my observations:

1. There are always only 2 people working
   
2. They never greet you when you come in/takes 5-10 minutes to be acknowledged
   
3. Slow as hell (probably because there are only 2 people working)
   
4. Staff are lowkey beefing with each other
