      So I have to use doordash to look at pricing cuz I’m not installing the McDonald’s app.

      The quarter pounder with cheese it is $10.59 for the combo meal. It used to be just over $2 when I was a teenager.

      Using DoorDash still but for a local restaurant called muddy cow, the cheeseburger meal there is $13.

      So I can go to McDonald’s and will cost me $11 or I can go to the sit down restaurant and it’ll cost me $13. And the sit down restaurant the burger was fresh cooked, I get way more fries (and frankly better fries), and I don’t act like pickles are the most valuable thing on the planet.

      I don’t know just open up door dash and start looking at prices around you that’s what I did.

        So, to try and prove your point, you’re looking at a third party delivery service, who is known to change prices to maximize said third parties bottom line? 🤔

        Hey, guess what - not everyone is able to go out to eat (not only due to physical disability, but lack of time and energy, and lets not forget a pandemic is still raging out there, and some people can’t just ignore it like the rest of you).

        The fact that you’re getting all high and mighty over a poster whose life you know nothing about, for the sake of 2 dollars says a lot more about you than spending 30 bucks on fast food says about well, anyone.

          What is your actual malfunction!?

          I have two words of advice. One take your own advice, because everything you just yelled at me about applies to you.

          Two context, I have no idea what you’re talking about. The conversation was about is fast food price similar to sit down restaurant price. It was 11:00 p.m. so I used an app where I could see multiple restaurant pricings in one central location. You’re over here getting on your goddamn high horse. You need to go reevaluate your priorities.
