Chain restaurant fees are getting absurd - Lemmy.world

I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I’m naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It’s literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits. I cancelled my order and got local street tacos instead.

McDonalds is especially egregious recently. Time was you could get a set for ¥500 (about 5 dollars) Then suddenly all the menu items went up to ¥700 - ¥800. That starts to get very very close to the alternatives which are much better. The only competitive edge they had was price really.

Same in Europe, MacDonalds used to be the cheap fast option. Now it's almost restaurant prices. If I pay restaurant money I expect restaurant quality, not fast food.

No shit. Last time I went with my girlfriend we just had some fries, couple burgers and nuggets. 34 bucks! Not doing that again.
