Fast food thread

Worked at a Carvel as a teenager. What a great job. No cooking really, so it was easy to keep the place pretty clean. All the customers are happy as hell to be getting ice cream. I could steal a free sundae now and then. Loved it.

I was just talking to an upper-middle class patient in Virginia who said that she’s heard from friends that their teenage kids are having a difficult time finding summer jobs.

MCD is two tier pricing with their apps. surprised there is no tik tok on that.

Yeah I should probably get more apps. I just hate having apps/cards for things. I’ll just enter my parents’ phone number if there’s something on sale at Duane Reade (aka Walgreen’s)

Also, variation across the country is crazy. From yesterday,

Bay Area:

I ate lunch at California Pizza kitchen yesterday, had half spaghetti half salad combo and fresh bread. Drank water. The total was under $15 with tip.

Cheaper than any fast food I’ve had in a while (though normally get a $4 coffee drink at McD).

I’m never spending $15 at McD or any other FF spot.

Never worked any kind of restaurant/food job. My first job was working warehouse/stocking at a local landscaping/flower type place. Then i did some city public works jobs those were the best.

You can do it buying 2 sandwiches these days.

Once upon a time, $20 at Popeye’s was easy. But it’s 2 meals and a snack.
I very seldom get FF now, so if I hit BK, I’m in $20 for 2 large sandwiches.

The nice thing for me is that while I enjoy food, I’m not that big of an eater. A burrito bowl from Chipotle is at least 2 meals for me. So while ff can seem expensive, it’s really not that bad if you’re getting 2+ meals out of it. Can’t do that with McDs obviously

Chipotle portions are big, it’s just not much meat. You can ask for extra of all the carbs (rice/beans/etc). I just don’t personally find it to be very good.

When I was in high school/college they had a deal where you could pick 5 items from a pool of menu items not just the plain sandwiches. Maybe that was a little more than $5 though?

Yeah what zimmer is referring to in his post.
