did you ever think 4 items at taco bell would cost $20?

They used to pay their employees $7-8/hr and now it's at least $15/hr...What's the confusion?

only in muttmerika would a thread be devoted to rubbish goiyslop takeaway

who tf gives people who flip burgers 15 bucks an hour?

mcdonalds here pays 7 to 10 bucks for people between 16 and 19. when they turn 20 their contract isnt renewed and they are supposed to find a real job.
the senior might be 21+ and make 15$ and a manager more. but all the workers got a 10$ max salary.

Surprisingly, those haven't gone up much in price.

Burritos are still holding the line around 10 bucks... a good deal by Bidenflation standards.

home of the fast food, fast relationships and fast bullits!

for ten bucks you could produce your own superior mexican dinner rather than one cheap burrito

You are performing your own labor. If you fix your own car, roof, cut your own grass, it's always going to be cheaper...Economics 101

I blame stupid parents and public schools...

This has been prophesized a long time ago

look.

the economy has run on a fake basis for a long time.

yes, there's no way you can get a $5 lunchbox when the employees are paid , the cost of the store, electricity, ingredients, etc etc.

but that's to put all other competition out of business. so that they control all jobs, so they can make you get vaxxed.

the vax was the goal the whole time, this level of control.

Water is about $30/month in my home...That includes bathing and laundry also...

Obviously people has plenty of cash then to eat out at restaurants instead of making their own meals. Or did people forget how to cook?

The law on the books is $7.50 maybe, but what is the minimum wage that is paid at the businesses?

Grade C 'meat'. Everything from Taco Bell is like goo. It's formless squish.

When one considers the long term health problems associated with eating fast food, it costs way more than $20.

the chicken quesids always seemed pricey to me,
pretty much always been a $5-$6 warmcooked tortilla halved over some chicken chunks and shredded cheese.. the jalapeno sauce was where it was at tho it's why i loaded up with that almost every time...

it's been a month or two but my go-to now is black bean crunchwrap supr , and a $2 chipotle ranch gr chicken burrito, sometimes a bottle water

Inflation taking away purchasing power but paying people more money to keep up is what everyone blames.

You can't fix stupid.

Blame the poor working people for things big bankers cause.

America has become retarded ...

We stopped at BK after shopping one night and just bought some burgers, no fries, no drinks (we don't drink pop anyway) and gasped at the price, yeah, no we won't be doing this anymore.

When I worked and didn't have time to cook dinner (OT) I would pop into the grocery store on way home and buy a premade chicken, salad, sandwich, whatever --- cheaper than fast food or if you're not picky, a frozen TV dinner, burrito, or pot pie is still less expensive than eating out. Doesn't take that long to nuke if you're tired.

I wouldn't want to eat the prepared stuff on a daily basis though, and no way could I stomach fast food on a daily basis, but I do know of people that don't cook hardly at all and one couple has 2 kids and they order in/out A LOT, I don't know how they afford it.

at least it's worth it, Taco Bell is quite delicious and super tasty

Haven't been to Taco Bell in ages. Man, I miss that place, now that I think of it. ...How much do the 59 cent tacos cost these days?

Not anymore...And if you are white, do not apply to Mcdonalds...Only the manager is white, all employees are black...

Ewww. You know they use Cricket flour as a filler in the meat? You get get the runs after eating there? Or heatburn, Gas? That is why. I guess people don't care they are eating slop. No wonder they treat humans like pigs.

I made Burritos.

Not sure the cost. Spent probably £40 +.

Them probably another £10. More cheese. More pico de gallo and another jalepeno ready made condiment. Another sour cream.

Then the final burritos. No enchillida sauce. No lettuce. No pico de gallo. No sour cream but just added some slaw, cheese and jalepeno condiment ( weird like a baked potato )

The last burrito dosent have anything. No cheese. No jalepenos. No pico de gallo. No lettuce. No encilada sauce. No sour cream

Just some spare jalepeno condiment.

Might try reducing cost with beef stock concentrate instead of a fresh beef stock. So theres more enchilada sauce. Can freeze and slice from a dual block, to heat.

Id pay £9 in comparison to takeways. Provided it were as nice ( even if they reduced cost )

If I were richer and money is more meaningless. A city bod buying burrito.

£13? Thats with same but probably better ingredients ( beef etc ) Plus having to pay swanky waiters. Plus bills for a massive area including aquarium etc.

Maybe £15 +.

you can always spot the traitor class. they are the ones who always piss and moan about the people who are poor, that's what they are all about, how much better they are because they get easy money , deep down inside they know what they are, so they have to constantly remind themselves they are better than you because of their money

It would cost about 50 bucks because I am not going to spend an hour grilling chicken, making guacamole (which doesn't keep) and cutting veggies just for one fucking burrito.

I would make a bunch and then eat it over the week... but sometimes you just want a burrito and that's where restaurants come in.

I don't eat out often but if I do I'm not stooping to fast food tier.

Truck driver here. Eating at McDonalds cost around 20 bucks a meal. To get full. I can eat at a sit down steak house. Ribeye steak potatoes and with salad bar for 16 bucks. Well no shake but better food. lol

what a bunch of fricking idiots these posters are. Buy a value pack for 14 bucks and making it last a few meals. Buy your own drinks at home. Dining in at fast food is over. They killed their own business with upselling. I have had it up to here with you constant whining you mommy basement dwellers, deadbeats and youngsters. Grow the fuck up. I will finish eating my lobster tail for lunch that I paid 7 bucks for at the grocery store and my large shrimp ring for another 8 bucks while pussies keeping eating that shit.

Demolition Man is becoming reality.

How soon till the three shells?

The Regular (two patties) Bacon Cheeseburger at 5Guys near me is now $12.99 + tax.

I don't even entertain eating fast food anymore.

You can make a weeks worth of tacos at grocery store for $20 and they would taste better.
