    $15 for a subway sandwich

    $25 for a poke bowl

    $20 for a burger and fries

    No kidding I’ll eat my own cooking

    Not surprising. Restaurants have become even more expensive and people already don’t have money to waste. Plus many of us are remote or hybrid.

    I think hybrid work is only a small part of the issue. if it was even remotely affordable id just lunch delivery rather than busting my ass cooking in the middle of the day but then i end up spending $20 + tax + tips + fees just to eat some mid food when it just takes a bit of effort to get some amazing homecooked food for cheap. if people do return to the office id bet people would pack their lunch until prices go down.

    News media keeps painting “Americans can’t afford _____ anymore” as “Americans choose to forego _____”.

    Went to Taco Bell yesterday for the first time in a year… $48 dollars for 8 crunchy tacos supreme, two steak chalupas, and a crunch wrap supreme. The meal for the fam was a collosal disappointment.

      Taco Bell is expensive unless you use their app now. Do the Online Exclusive menu and you can get the $5-$6 meal box with drink.
