Woooooo… price went up $0.05 to $0.25?

So the only thing preventing fast food joints from paying a living wage was a quarter a burger? 🤔

Dick’s is LAUGHING at them:

How does Dick's Drive-In pay workers $19 an hour with a menu completely under $5?

Dick's Drive-In recently raised its base pay, as did Taco Time, which is now offering employees $20 an hour at select locations. How do they keep prices low and pay high?

Well, the difference is that In-N-Out makes a decent burger.

I’ve had both, I’d totally eat a bag of Dick’s. :)

I have yet to have a decent In-N-Out burger. Burned little hockey pucks. 4 different restauaraunts. LA, Sun City, Cupertino, San Francisco. Animal style, not animal style… doesn’t matter.

That’s a bit surprising, but you can ask for your patty to be “medium rare.” I’ve found Dick’s to be more well-done, and the first time I ate there, the fries were absolutely disgusting. It’s definitely the place to go when it’s 1 AM and you need some burg, but my first stop any time I’m back in CA is In-N-Out.

It’s always wild for me to read such high opinions of In-N-Out, not to yuck anyone’s yum but I’m from the east coast and was pretty excited to try In-N-Out when I came out west for work about a decade ago. But I don’t get the hype for it at all, fries were alright and burger was acceptable, I’ve tried it again since and felt the same, and Dicks is about the same, nothing to really write home about

I’m glad you enjoy it, but if your ever in the southeast give Cookout a shot and see how it compares for you

The thing about In-N-Out is that they get compared to Five Guys or Shake Shack when you really should be comparing them to McDonald’s. A Double Double is way better than a Big Mac, and it’s still less expensive.
