Arby's has been expensive for a minute.
The last time I went to one a couple of years ago I pulled up and they were out of roast beef. But folks were still rolling through that drive thru. It's beyond me.

Or, they are people that think 1060 calories divided by 3 isn't a realistic dinner entrée.
a foot long tuna has 1360 calories. With the the veggies and sauce, you are probably looking at close to 500-600 calories per person. Add the fruit and you are probably around 600-700 calories per person. 500-700 calories should be what a person eats for dinner.

4 inches of sandwich and some fruit is not a reasonable dinner.

Lol explain how it sucks? It provides factual information over a 10 year time frame reflective in all of our anecdotal experiences. Also point out any “writing flaws” as you see them as this is a message board after all not a place for a dissertation. You just sound like a fig
Just go back and proof read your post again. It's criminally shitty grammar

Again, I’m not attempting to write my dissertation which if you are so interested in being grammar police I can happily provide you a copy of to see if I am actually a “shitty writer” since you and a few others seem keenly interested. Rather, I was focused on delivering the premise of the OP as concisely as possible giving any needed context and info relevant. Not too much so with sentence structure typing on my iPhone at 1:30 am.

We (2 adults, 2 kids) went to Atomic Burger drive-thru a few weekends ago. Each got a green chile cheeseburger and split 2 orders of fries. No drinks. Damn near $50.
Won’t be doing that again.

Youre 5’9 and 175? You probably shouldn’t be dishing out health advice.

I'm in my mid 60s and not on any type of medication.
I still regularly do farm work, heavy equipment repair and similar type things.
I'm not fat by any means.
When I look around at other people, I feel pretty good about where I'm at.

Predictable side effect of every fast food worker wanting $20/hour. Money has to come from somewhere and that somewhere is the consumer.
Are they not suppose to want to increase their income? The workers did the right thing: they asked. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. The companies made their choice. And before you mention the minimum wage laws in certain cities and states, laws and regulations change all the time, some make it more business friendly, some are neutral, some are less business-friendly. They can make a choice based on new information and their new reality.
I’ll never understand why people hate on others wanting more compensation from their employers. Salary increases have been a fraction of the price increases due to inflation. Honestly, minimum wage should be tied to inflation but that’s another discussion altogether.

That number is an estimate because the bread sizes aren’t consistent nor is the tuna salad. Besides you don’t know their lifestyle or how often they eat. I know a couple who only eats between 11 am and 7 pm. They don’t eat outside of those hours and consume the calories they believe they will need to get them through their days. Works for them and they are healthier than that have been in a long time.

What’s the issue with that? Those are my neighbor’s dimensions and he’s got a 32 inch waist.
I’m taking his word for it, but that’s from our fire pit and beer discussions. There’s a code.

Inflation is controlled by the suppliers who are controlled by fast food corporations.
It's scary that you can vote if you believe inflation is controlled by fast food corporations. And of course profits are going to be higher because they are inflated as well. Check out profit margins to see if there is price gouging going on.

Even scarier is that many, many posters here believe that inflation is controlled by Brandon…. Since inflation is currently a persistent problem all over the world- i sure wish those geniuses would tell me exactly how Joe Biden controls the GLOBAL inflation and economy .. and for the love of god i wish they would be specific .

Thats what raising wages and raising the cost of getting the product to the store does.
Pushing a timer on a frier isn't a $20/hr job.

Nothing is Joe Bidens fault, not the border, not inflation, not high gas prices...
But then Biden boasts he lowered your July 4th meal and will boast he lowered gases for this 4th of july, and people like you will eat that shite up.
