I used to work fast food like 6-7 years ago now and it is shocking just how much it's gotten visibly worse since. If you keep charging $15 for a combo and dropping service even further, people are just not going to go get fast food anymore. People already were balking at our prices back in 2017, now those prices would be a fucking steal if they were that today
Can confirm, haven't got fast food in several years, just stopped.
Only gone lately when driving and needed drive thru :(
The struggle
good lol
That's kind of how capitalists and their 'businesses' work. If something becomes not profitable enough, one of the available strategies is to reduce expenses on that thing. If there is no way to draw profit from it any further, they can just close the relevant filial, or stop the production of the relevant commodity, or stop the relevant service.
This is actually a literal textbook example of what a capitalist would do, covered in introductory economics courses.
