Not to change the subject from burritos but when I was earning poverty wages in my 20s I used to go to Subway nearly every day and get a footlong Italian sub for 5 dollars. It was generally the only big meal I would eat in a day.

If I was hungry later at night, I could always swing by McDonald’s and grab a chicken sandwich for a dollar.

All of these people are screaming about “eating at home” but I basically never made meals at home in those days and I was able to get by. You used to be able to survive on low wages without making meals from scratch. If that’s not possible anymore then it’s a sign that our standard of living is declining. That’s a problem. You should care about that.

Anyway, I went to a Subway recently and that same sandwich was 13 dollars. McDonald’s, of course, doesn’t sell anything for a dollar anymore.

i'm glad he doesn't know about them or need to know about them, but his point is substantially gutted if you know that you can get 2 for 1 subway subs very easily.

tldr: poors can still get by with subway and mcdonalds without cooking

Gen X’s low wages caused ITE1 bc they couldn’t afford Mortgages. It was considered Normal to make like $28,500 in 2007.

We overcorrected and now Losers make $100k. Other Losers who are really, really bad at job interviews had to stay Trapped making 2007 wages at Confused zombie companies . These are the people complaining on Reddit

A QB meal at McDonalds is like $12 now, but you can get a double cheeseburger, nuggest and a drink for $6. When I order what I want from Taco Bell/Arbys, it's like $15. But both offer "boxes" with more food than what I order for $7 (Arbys even gives you mozzerella sticks and a dessert).

If you get a drink and chips at the Chipotle/Qdoba/Moes type restaurants, it often times is $19. But if you go on Tuesdays at a lot of places, you can get them for $7.

It's sort of interesting there must've been a study on this. The way they're separating out price sensitive people is just by saying "You can get this specific enormous amount of food for $7 - but if you want to order what you want it's going to cost you double.

So I can either get a chicken sandwich (which I don't really want), or pay $14 for a roast beef sandwich and fries and still not get the 2 mozzerella sticks which i really like, OR pay $19 and get the mozzerella sticks and be sick because i ate an entire order of mozz sticks fries and a sandwich.

I just don't go to these places now because there's no winning.
