I’ve started comparing everything to the $30+ for underwhelming Sonic food recently. Since then, things that have been the same price or less:
-
1x smoked pork sandwich, 1x smoked brisket sandwich, 1x large mac and cheese ($32ish)
-
1x turkey/dressing/cranberry sauce/macaroni/rice and gravy, 1x baked chicken, 1x mashed potatoes, 2x macaroni, 2x yeast rolls, 1x peanut butter pie, 1x lemon pie ($35)
-
Buy one, get one free wood-fired pizzas after 10 PM near me. Two pizzas for $14.95.
Fuck fast food. Try your local places. Deals are out there and you meet people.

It used to be that McD’s was shit, but at least it was fast and cheap.
Now it’s still shit (maybe even worse), but also quite expensive … and it’s not even that fast anymore.

It stopped being fast years ago, precovid even. Pretty much as soon as delivery services became popular as those got higher priority than people being in the restaurant, the waiting times become equal to an actual restaurant.
Last drop for in restaurant was 45 minutes of waiting.
Price rose somewhere in between there and now as well and by now even delivery isn’t fast.
Last drop with delivering was about a year ago, it was still kinda last minute quick back up option when coming from somewhere late in the evening and being rather tired to cook as i could order while I still on the road towards home.
It still took about an hour to arrive, most of the time was in cooking.
I could have reached home and still easily cooked something up at home and it would have been faster.
By now MCD is as expensive and slower than an actual restaurant with every possible way of ordering. So i don’t even consider this as an option when out with the family.

45 is pretty nuts! Haven’t experienced that long of a wait but definitely wouldn’t go back after something like that. That sucks.
