That has been huge. I used to be able to be absolutely sure that if I picked McD’s, at least the bill would be smallest.

No longer. They’re more expensive than Culver’s sometimes!

Throughout my 20s that was about the only factor that led me to McDs - a cheap, fast meal. The 2/$3 McChicken for a lazy dinner or a McMuffin for a hangover fix was always too cheap to pass up.

Nowadays McDonald’s feels like a Seinfeld bit: _Whats the deal with fast-food, it’s not fast, and it’s not food._

I’m pretty much guaranteed to spend so much on a biscuit and coffee that I could go to the local coffee shops in town and get a coffee and breakfast sandwich for the same money and oftentimes faster, somehow.
