Average IQ dropped like 10 points last decade. It peaked in the 2000s after decades of consistent growth and now it is on a downward trend becoming lower every year.

You can put two and two together and extract your answer from that bit of information regarding costumers and their standards or what corporations will be able to get away with.

They will roll out an UBI program that will break apart to venezuelan comical levels of economic downfall in less than two year. Before that people will have orgies of spending in goyslop before hyperinflation no one being able to afford basic necesities anymore

The thing about mcdonalds and coca cola and all the other goyslop junk food companies is that they really are large real state monopolies and will show their ugliest face when for example water scarcity becomes a real crisis reaches boiling point and they are the only ones hoarding precious resources. Thats when things get spicy like the hot chips tik tok challenges zoomers are addicted to

I only eat McDoanld's. Not even fat. It was getting expensive, so one day I wondered what would happen if I just straight up walked to a car in the drive thru while they were placing their order and just asked the person if they could get me a Big Mac and fries...and without hesitation, he simply added it to his order and then I went around and waited for him on the other side. He handed me my food and then drove away—I never saw him again!

...And suddenly I had opened a door that couldn't be closed. I tried it again later, and the same thing happened. Without skipping a beat, they just added my order to theirs....I met them at the exit and they just gave me my food. Some people even have given me money WITH my food. I've been doing this every day for 10 years, and IN those 10 years I've only had two people refuse and one of them even claimed he forgot to order it. Some people have ignored me, but again, it's only happened like five times. Then maybe around 2017 I started asking people at walmart if they could buy me a pair of shoes, and then I just go back and return them for store credit until I can buy a tv, PS4/5, tablets, or bicycles and then just sell them outside WITH a receipt for like $50 off.....or whatever I can get for them. I start early and by midday I've made about $500.

Lastly, the walmart thing works also if you have a shopping cart filled with SOME food (you can't overdo it) and make sure you get in front of an old lady that looks nice, and then just keep swiping an old debit card and act embarrassed. THAT ONE ALWAYS HAS WORKED. I'm also on EBT so I get free food from the government! Stop spending money on food! You wouldn't believe how many people just give you free shit. You've got to have a good delivery though; like a sales job.

i was thinking about this yesterday. A store overcharged me $50 on something and refunded it with only a low quality photo of a receipt as evidence.
I also remember going to olive garden years ago and someone at our table got the manager and complained that the hostess had an attitude and we got our full $70 bill waived with no further questioning
If you were a pathetic enough person, you could probably make a living lying about these things as a petty scam

>>19737736
Consumer-oriented corporations are strongly in favor of importing brown people and advertising their products to them because they know that they have low standards for both food quality and customer service. The only downside to this is that every once in a while some fat black woman trashes your dining area or bitch slaps one of your minimum-wage workers because she got dem cold-ass fries. If you doubt anything I've said go sit in a Subway at lunch rush and people-watch. It's full of 90 IQ mystery meat fungible consumer units who keep coming back for low-grade meat and fake bread because it's "healthy" or something

>>19738085
>coming back for low-grade meat and fake bread because it's "healthy" or something
I never understood how subway had a healthy perception in the first place. A sub is basically just a hamburger but cold and with a different type of meet, but for some reason it was seen as so much healthier than mcdonalds

>>19737892
> the 90s was literally the last good decade
Yes. The world did end in the year 2000 . This is just a simulacra

>>19737854
that didn't cause inflation, things got dirt cheap during that time
the inflation is being mostly caused by no longer being energy independent so the cost of fuel gets passed on to the customers

>>19738127
>Half of all dollars that exist were printed in the last 3 years.
>that didn't cause inflation

Example of the IQ drop

>>19737736
The two things that caused me to mostly stop eating fast food were:

1. Realizing that I can buy the ingredients and just make the damn thing at home in at least 80% of all cases, for a fraction of the cost
2. Hitting overweight BMI and not being able to fit into pants I bought five years ago

Only reason to eat fast food nowadays is if you don't have immediate access to your own kitchen. It's getting more expensive, the portions are getting smaller, and gods help you if you ever decide to get ripped off even more by buying the fries and drink.

>>19737736
> They're making a profit right now sure
>insane price hikes
That's where you're wrong. A mixture of inflation, lingering supply chain issues, and an increase in the cost of energy is pushing the business model of fast food to its limits

>>19738069
>you could probably make a living lying about these things as a petty scam

I don't want to go off topic, but the self-checkout at Home Depot is a goldmine. Just throw in masonry drill bits (the REAL expensive kind) and anything made of copper into a cheap plastic trash bin, and then go to the landscaping section and throw a big wet bag of wood chips in there.....and then hide it somewhere in the store; buy something cheap and then leave. Come back after a shift change and then just grab your plastic trashcan filled with like $1,000+ worth of shit and then just do a quickie self checkout when the place is really busy. Wear a facemask and cough up a fucking lung so no one comes and asks to "see what's inside." But IF THAT HAPPENS, just claim you were there to get the trashcan and just be like "I was wondering why it was so heavy."

See, that's what I do first thing in the morning; stash the trashcan, and then I do my McDonald's/Walmart thing and then return to the Home Depot and get my trashcan. Works out perfectly because you want to look poor when you're doing the McDonald's/Walmart thing, but you want to look like you're a construction worker so you blend in at Home Depot. So some worn Dickies pants and a shirt with a reflective vest over it (no one questions the reflective vest) and you've got your outfit for the day! I tell you, there's nothing more addicting in this life than being a grifter.

There's another one where you save the good parking spaces at the mall with red cones and then sell the spot for $5. If they say no or threaten to report you, park your scooter there and then shrug and walk away. MAN I feel like I should write a "how to book" on these sorts of things.

There are plenty of places that are minmaxing their products and bloated shitholes like McDonald's are going to have to adapt soon or die. If Little Caesar's can still give me a decent pizza for less than $11, then why the fuck would I pay $20 for a barely better pizza somewhere else?

>>19738127
The inflation is soo bad that when food prices shot up in the past it was by small margins.

Think about McSlop, it was from its founding thru to the end of the 20th century as being incredibly cheap.

A burger was under a dollar from the 50s to around 2000-2001 from 39 cents to 89 cents including cheeseburgers going from 50 cents to 99 cents in a near 50 year period.
How many times has the price gone up by a full 100% like 2 or 3 times at this point since 2001?
And in comparison its only been 23 years.
What gives?

>>19738163
>why the fuck would I pay $20 for a barely better pizza somewhere else?

Well some people are very picky about their pizzas (for example the place I go to charges straight up $45 for a large...but it's like heroin good) and then some people are just loyal to their brands. I personally don't understand why anyone would pay more than $1 for a McDonald's cheeseburger when you could literally fire up the grill at home and make 100 cheeseburgers for like $20 that taste a million times better....and it takes literally ZERO effort to make a cheeseburger.

>>19738162
I hate these stores and love this anon.
Quality thread.
I'm just waiting until some sort of government entity owns some fast food restaurant.

Imagine if the postal service owned Subway after charging them with mail fraud for the mailed coupons scam theyre running for baiting and switching customers as zero franchised stores take any coupons this day and age.
Theyre wasting USPS resources just to get marks into the store to spend $35.90 for two subs without tip.
Why is Subway doing that?
Their coupons promise deals and their cheap ass franchisees can't deliver. Smells like a scam.
I imagine most who walk in expecting them to take coupons and learn most locations dont doesn't divert the customer from leaving.
Its getting sad out there.

>>19738162
why do you have to do the home depot one in two parts? Just because it's easier to conceal the shit in the morning and easier to check it out at night?
and why bother doing the parking spot and mcdonalds scams that get you like 5-10 bucks worth of shit when you make close to $1000 on the home depot one?

>>19738180
thank god I was raised on cheap pizza because I can eat pizza from pretty much anywhere without being a whiny cunt about it

>>19738215
>why do you have to do the home depot one in two parts?
So when if I get caught I can say that I just grabbed a trashcan and noticed it was heavy, but I thought that it was just supposed to be that way. It's so they can't prove I had intent to steal, whereas in the morning if I get caught they'll have me on camera and that's a felony amount of theft.

>why bother doing the parking spot and mcdonalds scams that get you like 5-10 bucks worth of shit when you make close to $1000 on the home depot one?
Fun. Because I can. There's also other perks like meeting people. I've hooked up with a few cougars this way and met other people that do stuff like this too. It's like the guys that walk around asking for money for a funeral; that's a business. They give you a sign and at the end of the day everything gets split.

I also can't do the Home Depot one constantly. There needs to be cooling off periods once I've run out of Home Depots. But honestly, it's really more for fun and not having to get a job than anything else. I promised myself 10 years ago that I would never ever EVER answer to a fucking boss or play workplace politics ever again. I actually went to business school and was climbing up the corporate ladder until one day I started writing a suicide note and immediately crumbled it up and said out loud "I don't think so motherfuckers." I've been fucking the system ever since. Fuck them all. My only rule is that I don't take from people that are in need. And I know I might sound like a piece of shit to some of you, but I worked for a bank that specifically scoped out for people that couldn't afford to pay back predatory loans....and then destroy their lives. I'm not the bad guy; I may not be crispy clean, but I'm not homewrecker either.

>>19737736
i mean mcdonalds is empty except for
>3am Saturday when all the drunks and crackheads go there
>8am Sunday when all the boomers go for their $2 coffee and free newspaper
other than that, place is fucking dead. never see anyone in there
place has turned into fucking Baskin Robins

even Subway has dropped off since they stopped doing their $5 footlongs 2 months ago. until then, they still had a lunch rush of tradies and construction workers getting cheap eats

>>19738099
The different type of meat is a significant difference, but not as significant as people think yea.

I think fast food will be fine you guys have no perspective both on how hard normys find cooking and how little normys care about food quality. (Despite calling them "picky eaters" all the time)

the worst part about the bugs is that they're significantly more carbon intensive and climate negative than conventional animal meat, so the absolute only reason its being pushed so hard is humiliation and dehumanization
a ridiculous amount of effort is being put behind the idea that if you can get someone to willingly eat bugs, they'll accept they aren't a person anymore and you can do anything you want to them

Idk what the situation is for other countries and other chains but Mcdonalds has a franchise system with each location charging their own price (to a certain extent). In my country this means you pay between 9-12 euros for a big mac menu in the biggest cities but 15 euros in some rural town.

>Ordering a meal from McDonald's can cost as much as 14 dollars where I live and I'm not even in a big city
It's fucking unreal. Not even just fast food anymore, half the burger places near me don't include fries by default anymore, they're a side dish that costs 5 bucks. Diner near me charges almost 18 dollars for a burger and fries now. A FUCKING DINER. Of course, they also charge 10 dollars for a plate of homefries with 2 eggs, each extra egg is 3.99. I go in sometimes and it's just retired boomers that don't care they're being fucking robbed and want to "support muh mom and pop shops" like paying 4 dollars per egg makes any sense.

It has always been cheaper to cook at home but the difference is fucking unreal these days.

Biden has issued more domestic drilling permits than Trump did. Look that shit up.

people have been complaining about the quality of fast food service for decades and it hasn't stopped tons of people from relying on fast food for the majority of their meals. poor people are retarded, they'll cut out other things so they can afford fast food's increasing prices.

the kfc double down was so disappointing, the chicken was tiny and the condiment is just mayo.

>>19737736
>Is fast food on a suicidal course right now.

I didn't do fast food all that often in the past but nowadays, I'll only go to Taco Bell once or maybe twice a month but even there, five soft tacos and two cheesy beans & rice burritos come out to $15.00.

I haven't been to a McDonalds in probably two years as the last time I was there, I ordered two Felatio-Fish and it cost me $10.00 while the fish patties were literally only 3" square.

I live in one of the fattest cities in the US and let me tell you, people are just buying double the food to make up for the reduced portions. My coworker eats 2 double cheeseburgers from mcdonalds because she says she has to get 2 now because of how small they are. The american public is shitting on its own foot and corporations will continue to screw consumers.

>>19740726
>My coworker eats 2 double cheeseburgers from mcdonalds because she says she has to get 2 now because of how small they are.

>>19739840
>reissued some of the permits that his own administration had revoked

>>19738165
>What gives?
people will still pay for it. the popularity of delivery apps, which adds a 10-13% markup BEFORE delivery fees, proves that customers are financially irresponsible and don't care. federal policies have little to do with it IMO; a big mac isn't costing mcdonalds anywhere near $6.19 to make.

>>19737775
The fish sandwhich is so ridiculously expensive and not worth it. Even just by itself it's like $6.50 and it's so small you can eat the whole thing in about 3 bites.

>fast food is shit now you guys

It's always been shit and it turns people into shit. The masses are now being punished for their laziness and addiction to unhealthy food. If you don't want to be a victim of any further cost cutting measures then stop eating it.

>>19740165
Putting mayo on it was a fucking mistake, you don't need sauce with that much meat unless your meat quality sucks.

i used to eat mcdonalds once a month. two double cheeseburgers for 5 or 6 bucks (used to be cheaper). whatever it is now i can't justify it. otherwise i never ate out anyway, so it's 100% home cooked meals.

I remember when I'd go to taco bell during highschool because we could smoke weed and eat a shit ton of food for crazy cheap. Thank god I discovered cooking young, because now we can just have cookouts where really the only expense is meat.

Fuck the apps. I shouldn't need to install some fucking app to get back to what the cost of the food should be from the get go. MCD;s quality has gone into the shit though. Yes it was never great but recently it's really gone down. The breakfast thank god still seems to be ok.

Almost never buy takeaway and the last few times I did were all garbage

I would have been thrilled to find McDonald's using a real egg. I would have guessed they use reconstituted egg powder.

>>19745137
They only use free range eggs.
One of their plus points.

>>19737736
Lockdown saw a lot of people just not be able to work at fastfood slopjobs. Effectively this means that someone took the frog out of the boiling pot and now no one wants to really wants to go through the effort of letting it cool down again so they can lower the frog into the pot once more.
Ultimately this means that they're having to pay bottom of the barrel employees more money until people forget that Mcjobs are shit and don't pay enough to cause you to earn any money.
I mostly deny going to these shit places but I can't always avoid it.
>>19738165
The 20th century was grifting paradise and companies could burn through a lot of cheap resources to provide cheap product with everyone laboring under the assumption that they were going to be well-off pensioners living off of someone else's dime a few decades down the road and anyone actually in the know could rest easy knowing that they would die before ever having to deal with the consequences. People were sold on the idea that they were going to live like kings with cheaper versions of luxury goods that only really worked because the upper class dickheads that were previously buying them were limited in number.
The charade is now broken, the last of the guilt-free conspirators are dying and some morons are getting the idea into their heads that they'll live long enough to see the time when they can live forever, so the jig is up.
>>19741794
I'm always so perplexed about who was actually dying from Corona, everyone I knew caught some variant of it and they were fine, whereas lockdown just seems to have exacerbated the schizophrenia and mental degradation of all the old people I know and likely contributed to even more death.

The apps do not work for everything. Taco bell app for example has only the deluxe box. The box is extremely limited and you can't put new items in there. Wendy's and BK app is also pretty garbage and you can only use paper coupons in store. Only McDonald's throws a crap ton of coupons on their app, but who the fuck regularly eats at McDonald's?

not that anon but lived similar life. you gotta rotate and avoid patterns, patterns get you burned. for home depot or similar methods you do it in 2 shifts because people on the first shift might have seen what you were putting in there and make a fuss about it at checkout, but after shift change it's unlikely anyone watching would have any idea what you were doing earlier. then you go do some other shit for awhile just in case anybody did put 2 + 2 together (like if they had some corporate audit or security inspection or some nosy grandma ratted you out and they got your pic texted to the staff). wait for them to forget or for staff turnover or for the statute of limitations or whatever other reason

It's hard finding buns that don't have sneed oils in them though.

>>19738127
nah it's just greed

>>19747467
it's called greedflation, basically when there's say 10% true inflation in a year, companies will raise prices 20%, and the consumer will just assume it was because of inflation

go sleep on your mypillow retard boomer

I don't understand you faggots, you always complain that it's overpriced garbage but you keep going there to eat, why don't you go to mom and pop's burger joint?

>>19747689
those prices are even higher in california

how the hell did anybody ever starve before i’m legit asking

>>19749599
Some people don't know this but when you have an IQ of 75 or less, your body signals to do things aren't as effective, so you just have to eat and not forget to

>>19737736
Burger King has made me sick for the past 4-5 times which spans the past 2-3 years. I dunno why its really weird. It's not because of something rotten because I dont get sick the same way as getting salmonella. Its something else, like some kind of "chemical" feeling. The patties are also paper thin, theres barely any sauce, its dry as hell and of course overpriced.

So yeah tl;dr never again in Burger King and McDonalds is also testing my patience as a consumer

>>19737736
No, at least not in the U.S. because there is an infinite and ever-increasing supply of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] who are financially and nutritionally illiterate. They will continue pumping their [REDACTED] full of KFC and Popeyes because mommy works till 10:00 p.m. for the the T.S.A. and daddy isn't around. And of course, who can forget these people live in a "food desert" so they have no accountability doing this. This wouldn't happen in a reasonable society or market, but that's where we are.

>>19737854
Then younare clearly retarded because we where locked down for 2 of the 3 years of covid under biden, which was also when Biden got in to the qar with Russia and approved of printing money.

Probably because they explicitly advertised that they were for years, zoomer.

>lockdown just seems to have exacerbated the schizophrenia and mental degradation of all the old people I know and likely contributed to even more death.
That was the point.

>>19749599
nobody ever starved, “muh starving kids” is a lie to get people to give their money to governments and charities to fix a problem that doesnt exist
if you dont have a job and make no money youre buttfucked if you want a place to live or a car to drive to a job
but if youre hungry there are a dozen ways to get free food
literally the only welfare that this country can actually take dispense properly but it costs a shitlod considering how much we subsidize crops

>>19737736
i dont ever have 'never eat here again experiences'. if the price is right and you are at least somewhat sanitary, then I will go there again. i'm not some whiny bitch that leaves forever because of some minor inconvenience. that's like someone blocking you online because you made a minor rude comment to them. I don't think i've ever blocked anyone in my life online.

>>19737736
I dream of another lockdown if that means cheaper food again, its weird to look back at the good ol days of Trump and corona. Picture WW2 and food was cheap, its over and suddenly its expensive, you ask why and "lol look at all these factory jobs I created" great, now more people with jobs can go and fight for the same 50 things I was going to buy. Supply chain collapse and inflation combined is such a headache Im ready to wear the mask if we can get back to cheap gas, food, electronics again. They dont sell half the shit I buy anymore because its too niche to stock on shelves like it was under the terrifying trump era when food was cheap and stores were open all day and night. Now we can save the environment for all 5% of surviving future generations.

>>19751197
I do those mcdonalds kiosks from time to time customizing something to my hearts content and then hear the workers "what da fuk is a double cheeseburger with bacon, who the fuck would order a bacon cheeseburger, what even is that?". Working at Mcdonalds must be fun now if you're that free to not give a shit while still getting paid. Office wage slaving was way worse.

>Never had Popeye's before but they open a couple chains in my city
>Look up the address to finally go and try it, all the franchises are open in the most ghetto neighbourhoods imaginable filled with Arabs and Africans, they're not even in the city centre
Is Popeye's worth travelling to the heart of darkness, Amerifats?

>>19751564
Like all Amerifat fast food, it varies by location. The one near me is really good, it's usually fresh and fairly fast. For what it's worth, their chicken sandwich is my favorite of all the other places I've had one (Burger King, McD, Wendy's) Their sides are usually decent too. Fair warning, Popeyes biscuits will dry your mouth out like crazy, so make sure you have something to drink with them.

>>19751583
Good to know, chicken sandwiches here are utter garbage unless you get them from an instagram millenial-run American style independent burger place. Would you recommend the chicken sandwich over fried chicken pieces?

>>19751612
get a sandwich and a couple of tenders
popeyes breading is unique compared to other restaurants but its only good straight out of the fryer, if they arent hot they get too dry and brittle
the sandwich is great though
popeyes biscuits are perfection of the art form

>Is fast food on a suicidal course right now.
No. The fast food industry will never die. It's one of our most beloved institutions. It's literally too big to fail.

>>19737736
It's called JUNK FOOD. Its not fast food. It's JUNKFOOD.

Time to name it Properly. Generations before you called it so cause it is was it is. Jews changed it to fastfood. It's JUNK
"FOOD"

>>19737736
I finally caved in and got the McDonald's (((app))). 3 McDoubles and a large fries is $8.00

Not a bad deal for enough food for two meals. But yeah, otherwise paying full price and dealing with the esl workers is maddening.

>>19738127
inflation was primarily caused by the absolutely massive increase in the money supply due to years of near-zero interest rates and open market buying by the fed
this is basic macroeconomics that only the most heterodox schools of economic thought would disagree with, but i wouldn't expect 4chan to even know basic economics.

>>19751612

Uncle is 300 truck driver and grandpa is 90, both got through it.

>order Popeyes through the app, pay for it up front
>arrive in 10 minutes
>brown fatso lady greets me with "hello sir what's your order number?"
>checks order tickets..."It'll be ready in 2 minutes"
>people walking in getting served... 10 minutes pass
>everyone's gone, I'm the only one left
>brown fatso lady turns to me and says "hi!"
>I say "hi" back and stare at her dumb fucking face
>[awkward silence intensifies]
>"w... what's your order number?"
>"oh, ok... let me get that for you"

It's like someone blasted them with that forget-ray from Men In Black. What's even the point of ordering through the app?
Anyway, Popeyes is trash. Half the calories from every meal is just breading. Meat is expensive for these jackals, so I guess the best way to proceed is to cover every corner of the poor chicken in a thick, sickly-greasy shell. I get wicked smelly shits from their food anyway.
