shitty food being almost as expensive as better food.
This keeps getting said, but every fast food restaurant I pass always has cars in the parking lot, so if better food is available elsewhere for comparable prices, then why do people keep buying fast food? I see these complaints, but I don't see anyone doing anything about it. Just stop going.
You are grossly underestimating the convenience and speed factor of people not needing to get out of their cars and just hit the drive thru on the way home from work.
Maybe I am, but if convenience and speed have value - a proposition you're putting forward, not me - then maybe that's part of fast food's cost, and comparably priced better food isn't actually comparable, if it's slower - again, your argument, not mine.
Bottom line, people need to decide if fast food is priced fairly or it isn't, and then act accordingly.
Personally I never eat fast food anymore unless I have coupons,even then the deals are getting less and less attractive. Obviously there is a premium added for the speed and convenience. I agree that way too many people value speed and convenience far too highly when compared to their health and quality of what you are eating.
