Comment on The shrinkflation

You’re living in a country where nearly everything is accessible in 15 minutes of walking or less, and I guess your local resto serves cheaper food. However, I also guess there’s some inflation going on and/or higher cost of living, that’s why you see fast food restos as being more expensive, although they do exist partly because of convenience, especially if in a car and a drive-thru makes it faster to grab whatever lunch or dinner.

At least around me, I feel like the drive-thru is often noticeably slower than parking and going inside. The last time I got McDonald’s at the drive-thru, I was waiting for over a half hour to get my order. To make it worse, I was stuck in the inner lane, so I couldn’t even say “fuck it” and drive off until I was third in line. At that point, I had spent a good 25 minutes waiting, so the sunk cost fallacy kicked in and I waited some more. When I got to the window to pick up my order, it wasn’t even warm.
I don’t get fast food as much anymore, but when I do, I order through the app and go inside to pick it up. At least then it doesn’t feel like I’m stuck in gridlocked traffic.
