    Back in my day a beefy five layer was 89 cents. I could walk into a tacobell with 2 dollars and walk out full with some change

      My family has sworn off Subway after 3 footlongs and chips cost us FORTY-FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS recently. I can make sandwiches at home, assholes.

        While they pay their employees absolutely nothing. Where the hell is the money going, because it’s certainly not going into quality ingredients.

          A few years ago when I had to get a gym mat for my daughter, it was cheaper to cobble it together myself from twenty $5 footlongs. Nowadays I’m better off buying an actual gym mat!

      That’s EVERY major chain. They all deserve to burn in the hottest pits of hell now.

      Fuck capitalism is the ideology of the heartless swarm…

      Now the average Taco Bell outing is $10-12 for me. And that’s if I only order the value menu stuff. It’s considerably cheaper than any other fast food option, but still too expensive.

      But you’d be hungry again in an hour after it went right through you.

      I don’t think that part has changed.

        I think you are thinking of Chinese food. Taco Bell sticks with you for a bit. Or at least it used to.
