i remember walking into an upper crust and buying a slice of their specialty pizza.

it cost 4.25, but the kicker was the slice they gave me was basically a left-over from cutting the pizza in some fucked up way.
it was literally 1/4 the size of a regular slice.

i was just dumbfounded that, instead of just asking me to wait and putting a new pie in the oven, they'd hope i'd take the small, misshapen leftover bits from another pie.

i didn't pay them or say anything, i left it on the counter and walked out.

Fuck you OP; the Asiago Ranch Chicken Club isn't for poor teenagers like you. It uses the best chicken we have topped with a unique ranch sauce and bacon strips. That shit will fill you up unlike that $1 garbage they serve at McDonalds that would serve better to line the troughs to feed dirty animals rather than nourish the human body.

You must also be a Canadafag. This is my reaction almost every time I order fast food. $10 for a combo that I could have effectively purchased the ingredients for (at much higher quality) and made in my own home for $3.

This is how you rationalize it.
You eat the greasiest, most dirt-cheap fast food you can get, to get your 2,000 calories a day.
If you ONLY ate a big ass value meal a day and NOTHING ELSE, you could get your total caloric intake for $8 or whatever.

>> No.5170935

>> No.5170936

>>5170929
That doesn't matter though because one large combo will not keep anyone full throughout the entire day. The people who rationalize on a calorie basis are the ones who lives on fast food and thus are 99.988% likely to consume 4-5000 calories in a day anyway.

>> No.5170954

>>5170929
it depends on your level of poverty
in terms of lowest price for survival value it's probably best to live off cooking oil. its caloric density is high as fuck.
if I was homeless but could afford it i'd live off a $1 ~12 slice loaf of bread every day I think.
if you have at least somewhat stable housing then it's best to live off broke student food

No they don't. I've worked in 2 different fast food places, both in the kitchen and in drive-thru and they just hold onto whatever you order until someone else orders the same thing. With something like the asiago ranch chicken sandwich, most likely another person will order it in about 10 minutes.

Also, pretty sure the menu has the price for everything on it. Maybe you shouldn't be eating fast food with the big boys if you can't afford it.

I never thought, "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" could be applied to fast food, but in your case it does.

It's an interesting idiom. Your bed refers to the decisions you've made. So if you made a bad decision, it's like you made your bed with nails or glass, so now you have to lie on it. But if you made a good decision, it's like you made your bed with feathers or pillows, so you benefit from it.

If it costs 8.23 then it was a chicken sandwich, a drink and fries plus a small fry not a chicken sandwich plus small fries. Were you too stupid to specify just a sandwich and not the combo meal?

But I see where your coming from, all the deluxe sandwiches at these places are shitty for the price, its the same low quality meat they use for the dollar stuff except they give you slightly more on a fancy looking bun. I could easily find a local place that sells something twice as good for the same price.
