Fucking fries are $5 for a large where I live. It is probably ten cents of product and thirty cents for labor, equipment, and oil. Their markup is absolutely insane.

Don't forget soft drinks being pennies an ounce at cost.

I can get a burrito from chipotle for $8. I aint going to mcdonalds for shit

What fucking chipotle has 8 burritos? A basic chicken burrito is 13... And they're about half the size as pre-covid.

McDonald's is shit but so is chipotle...
