Beware fellow heathens

Fast food's too expensive even without delivery expenses these days. Makes me sad.

I went to Chick Fila to get the pimento cheese and chicken sandwich.
I got the combo. Comes with fries and a drink.
$13 and change.
Got 2 double cheeseburgers and a coke at mcds, $12
That used to be less than $6. Like 5 years ago.
- It's more and more expensive to fund bigots these days
- Dude I just spent like 17$ on subway
  It's the worst!
+$10 for pretty much every meal now. I guess fast food is trying to curb American’s fast food addiction by pricing them out of it.
- Nothing is worse than my 3 piece Popeyes combo with fries and a Dr. Pepper going from $7.49 to $15 over 4 years.
Don't worry, our bodies are thankful in the end!
McDonald's it's still pretty good if you use the app. When I forget to bring lunch I get two spicy chicken sammies and a large drink for like $5 and you get points for free shit too. Not an ad but there are genuinely good deals in there if u just want cheap sustenance.
- This comment is not really about you, but I really hate the McDonald's app. The McDonald's app has been super frustrating to use. It acts like it is loading a huge database. Each selection results in a 10 to 20 seconds wait for the next. Often selections don't register.
  Taco Bell's app is great too use.

How the hell do people afford this lifestyle.

They don't. That's why there's souvh credit card debt
- i don't know why people need to shame each other for succumbing to the desire to Purchase when our entire society is designed to encourage it

It hasn't taken long for advertisers to find Lemmy.

MEAL PREP A DISH OF BEANS/ LENTILS FOR EMERGENCIES EVERY WEEK. Fuck uber
- Lentils are cool but have you ever kept dehydrated peas in your house?
If db0 let an actual advertiser on our instance I'm sure they'd be nuclear pissed
- Anybody can post here, even advertisers.

I checked the other day and McDonalds was charging $3.49 per hash brown on one of the delivery apps.

That was as far as I got before boiling water for oatmeal.

Thanks for the ad i guess

i can't tell if i'm too old now or what but over the last year i've gotten insanely radicalized against corporatism and can't stand seeing brand names anywhere. i remember sometimes i'd use them in normal posts, but reading others do it really makes it sound like an ad

The fast food worker seeing a door dash order pop up on the screen 5 minutes before closing

You can setup availability times in the merchant portal. If this has happened to you, it's because of your shitty management.
- For real? Management?

Why not double the price of your order and get it slower

Go home Uber eats ad team.

TIL Jean de la Fontaine also wrote smut.

Paying triple is good enough reason for me. Haven't used it since the lockdown.

There should be a chastity belt on Uber Eats with a dollar sign for a keyhole.
- I'm TheControlled and I approve this message.
For real. I still regularly lose the "make my own vs. takeout" battle, but a nice evening drive is better than paying $80 for a $40 2-person meal.
- *$80 for a $10 2-person meal (if you made it yourself probably)

The thought of giving Uber any money usually loses me my appetite anyway

And even if i somehow give in theres no world where im affording it

Uber Eats is not worth the money anymore. I haven't ordered in 6th months and haven't looked back.

Ah yes, I'd love to watch a car drive to different restaurants and deliver to other houses while my food is getting cold on their passenger seat instead of just getting it myself. Fuck these delivery apps, it's always more trouble than it's worth.

If you don't have one already you should get a slow cooker. Super easy to make all sorts of meals, just chuck some stuff in it in the morning and come back some time later to a delicious hot meal.

Incredible potential for this format

Buy buy buy

source? for a friend obv

That style can only be Milo Manara.
- thanks my friend will appreciate it

The lady in the picture doesn't look like she's charging anything.

Harlot!

Hey, she didn't swear any oaths.

Every single day, to be honest

What the fuck are you talking about

And both end up kinda tasting like shit.

Self cooked food can actually taste good. Fast food on the other hand will allways taste bad.
- Do y'all just order fast food on Uber eats, I don't get it? 50% of the time I order like Vietnamese, Indian or Japanese. Not McDonalds lol. Costs like 15€ (edit: +5€ delivery, I forgot since I had some 0 cost program once) instead of 3-4€ self cooked but it's usually some Sunday afternoon where I am too lazy to get up and do anything myself.
If your home cooking tastes like shit then you need to change how you cook
