There are tons of legit burger places in Portland. I wanted something cheap & fast and got neither.

I was also being kinda facetious too about complaining about fast food prices… but since I don't get fast food often* it's still a bit of a sticker shock that McDonald's is pretty expensive. Also you know there are folks that are still feeling the effects of inflation (even tho most studies are showing it's actually slowing down) so it's possible they'll make their voices heard in November.

OK so hosed-up drive-thru aren't just a thing where I live huh. There's a Chik-Fil-A I drive by on occasion and the drive-thru line is always wrapped around the building. Like...go somewhere else if it's that long.

To be fair you can go through that Chick-fil-A line faster than having no one in front of you at McDonalds.

Someone at work asked me about the whole In N Out vs. Whataburger thing, and here's how I described it:

You pull up a half-mile from In N Out and get in the line that's backed up to the offramp. It takes you 30 minutes to get your food. The burger is fantastic and the fries are terrible.

You pull up behind the one other car in the Whataburger drive-thru. It takes you 30 minutes to get your food. The burger is pretty good and the fries are decent.

Both want to sell you a t-shirt.

Mcds zipper lines are fine, Dutch bros sucks (where the person taking orders is in one lane for like 3 cars instead of switching), Chica sucks cause online orders just try to jam in like entitled fucks. I’ve only seen one In n Out zipper, but I saw the old dude with his grandson in a loving beat to poo poo Saturn and I totally called it out to my wife he was gonna cut like we didn’t exist. She started edging our car closer and closer and she caved laughing cause I saw it in his eyes instantly

You’re getting signs? Here in Mercia it’s first come first served. Yeah there’s 6 F-450s in the McDonalds drive thru. 4 feet back from the speaker? Well yell ur order over the sound of pure American coal burning diesels. When they get your order wrong you can tell em to go back to Mexico between coughs

the big mac index is an actual thing
https://inflationchart.com/bigmac-in-cpi



The price of a big mac outpaced inflation severely since 2017, but since inflation spiked in 2021 the big mac's price has actually risen slightly less quickly than inflation (the red line is slightly below the blue line, so the falling value of the dollar is slightly catching up with the rising price of the big mac). Of course, this varies somewhat by state, city, and individual location.

It should be noted this is a chart with two Y axes with different values, so you should not pay much attention to the steepness of the curves which is arbitrary (changing the scale of either y axis would change the steepness of one line without affecting the other). What is important is trends, and the red line's direction and steepness.

It's nothing compared to the big mac crisis of november 1987-January 1988, when according to this data a bic mac jumped from $1.60 to $2.39. They lowered the price back down to $2.02 in January 1989, bringing the burger back into line but still substantially above inflation, and only due to relative price stability in the Mac compared to the gradual inflation thorughout the 90s left the big mac finally back in line with CPI in mid-1999. It remained a bargain and became even cheaper until 2005, at which point it was an all-time deal, cheaper compared to the value of money than ever before.
