I struggle to understand the people who are angry about this one. I’m not saying it’s a good business move, but it’s not like it hurts the general population
With fast food, you’re already paying a premium to get prepared food on demand. The people who can’t or don’t want to afford it can avoid the premium pricing by planning ahead and packing lunches from home.
This is basic supply and demand economics at this point. If prices go up, demand will go down as people move to other restaurants that are cheaper, or stick with groceries.
Now if it was a grocery store doing this, I would feel differently. But fast food is not a basic human need.
You’re not wrong but they’re still assholes. Shit like this is only explainable when you give up and accept that this capitalist hellscape is our only option.
This is basic supply and demand economics at this point.
A sign you can ignore someone’s opinion of economics.
Basic doesn’t mean “fundamental.” It means “for children.”
This is a cheap and convenient product using price-gouging to be neither cheap nor convenient. It’s fucking stupid and you gain nothing by pretending otherwise. Normalizing this sort of abuse is part of how it spreads. Stop making things worse for everybody.
