Class of 89 here. I slammed many of those burgers when I lived across Harvey from the mall at the time.Logos Stick said:Trajan88 said:
An Archie Burger from Archie Burgers in CS was $0.39 ea. in the mid-80s.
I would drive to Archies on Sunday night... get 5 of those burgers and fries and then park my auto at the Fish lot.
Class of 87 here. Archies was the go-to after a hard night of alcohol. I lived off campus in a condo right across the way.

Only at the places that didn't just lay everyone off! Was listening to Ted Cruz yesterday (may have been a few episodes back) and lots of places just canned all of their deliver drivers and are looking at increased automation.

In all reality, I'm surprised $1 menus have lasted this long. I lamented when Arby's got rid of the 5 for $5.95 meal 15-20 years ago. Damn that was a killer deal because you could get any combo of RB sandwich, Arby's Melt, Fries, Mozz sticks, potato cakes, medium drink, and even a turnover I think.
As the great Robert Frost said, "Nothing gold can stay".

Yep, and making $2.41 an hour and we never got overtime.CanyonAg77 said:Old guy yells at clouds:Quote:

In the early 70s, local drive-in sold 6 hamburgers for a dollar.
Or I could get a hamburger and milkshake. Then drive to a dive* of a cafe for a turnover for dessert. All of the above, total of 99 cents, driving on 25 cent/gallon gas.
Inflation does crazy things.

Gas costs less at Buc-ee's than it does by the airport.
Companies are going to charge as much as they think people will pay. They are going to pay as little as they think people will work for. Not a penny less or more. Biden has nothing to do with this.
I'm finding it easier knowing that the dummies are going to have to live with their choices long after I'm gone... and in the meantime I can tell them to **** off and not worry or care about being canceled or doxxed. lol.AgsWin2011 said:
I remember after football practice in high school, we would go to McDonalds and get 2 double cheeseburgers, a McChicken and a drink for less than $5 or go to Joe's and get two slices and a drink for $4.
And then me and my friends would all go home and eat dinner with our families.
Getting old sucks. Getting old in the stupid world we live in today sucks even more!

Yes, I know. But it's better for the consumers to not be eating a bunch of crap from McDonald's.techno-ag said:It is for McDonalds. That's their big market.Rex Racer said:And this is a bad thing???Quote:

McDonald's is reportedly preparing to launch a $5 meal deal in a bid to lure back lower-income customers who were priced out of the Golden Arches as its menu prices soared to include an $18 Big Mac and a $6 side of hash browns.
The affordable menu offering could either include a McChicken or a McDouble along with fries and a drink, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg on the condition of anonymity.
For reference, a McChicken at a McDonald's outpost in Times Square goes for $5.59 for the sandwich alone, which includes a breaded chicken patty, shredded lettuce and mayonnaise.

For what McDonald's is charging, people can easily go to a restaurant and get a healthier and tastier meal.
McDonald's prices have jumped a great deal, but most restaurants, especially chain ones, haven't as much.

Don't know where you live but not my experience. Pizza Hut, Sonic, Subway and DQ are all way up. So are the local Mexican joints. We were in B/CS not long ago and Outback, On the Border were way up as well, with less and poorer quality food, nearly unedible, in fact.Quote:

California's fast-food minimum wage insanity is back for a second helping.
After a law pushed through by Gov. Gavin Newsom added a massive increase in fast-food minimum wages to $20 an hour in April (except for employees of Panera, clearly because a good buddy of the gov's owns a bunch of franchises), things went pretty much as expected.
Prices shot through the roof: Burger King patrons saw a 53% increase on some items, plus a 12% jump on signature item double Whopper meal deals.
Rubio's California Grill closed 38 of 134 locations in May and filed for bankruptcy in June.
Now?
The California Fast Food Workers Union wants another increase, to $20.70.
