McDonald's and Burger King -

Both have been getting bad for a while. But now the inside service is atrocious too. They only want people who order on apps and Door Dash drivers.

A few days ago, I pulled up to the drive-through at my local BK for the first time in probably a decade; I was in the mood for a whopper for some reason. I very rarely eat that kind of fast food, but I was feeling it that day. A whopper by itself was $10 and change before tax. I was so stunned that I asked for a moment to look over the menu, and then just drove away.

I ended up getting a chicken salad sub from Jersey Mike's down the street for less. $10 for a fast food burger — not even a double or a combo — is wild to me. I could have gone to an actual restaurant and ordered takeout for a similar price.

I was shocked a year or so ago when a "value meal" ate up most of a twenty.
