    Facts. We have a burger place like this that people love for some reason, but I swear they most the mid-quality burgers for $20+. It’s crazy that people keep going there, imo.

      A few years ago I would immediatly leave if I saw a burger for more than $15 on a menu regardless of how many unnecessary toppings they had one it.

      Now it costs more than that for a plain cheeseburger with a 6 Oz patty.

      Idk how anybody is still eating out we can take the money we’d spend on a meal in a restaurant and cook something that’s better quality and we have leftovers for 2 days. The only benefits off eating out are to get cheap slop you would feel bad about cooking for yourself.

        I eat out or uber eat if I’m too exhausted to do cooking from work. Or if I tried to do a bulk cook and by day 2 of eating it my brain just says no. Apparently I will just starve instead of eating the same thing

        You make enough money that you wouldn’t really notice if you’re paying $15 or $50 for a burger, and you’re tired enough not to care anyway

      People like to think they have refined taste, most do not.

      And not just when it comes to food. But art and even basic decor and fashion as well.

      It has a tendency to come down to “Is it expensive? Then It’s fancy”.
