Final visit to Burger King

[jeff of pa]

NO ! I DID NOT USE THE SURVEY CODE

was starving before I Got to the Butcher shop & Had to Eat first.

the former 99 Cent Burger is over $2.00
& the original burger is gone.

a pressed flat piece of meat on a very chewy bun replaced it
I had to spit the bun Out, and just Eat the tiny piece of Meat.
I must Admit under the circumstances it Did it'd Duty.

The soda, Small Cup, but it's obvious most refill their cups for free.
I on the other hand don't fill my Cup & Only drink enough to wet My my mouth
& Wash down the Crumbs

I was Shocked when she said $4.75

Next time I'll Stop at The Coney Island

Only issue there is their Burgers are Cooked/Fried in Onion Juice .
Onions do Havoc to my indigestion by causing heartburn.
but I'll at least get a Real burger not Kangaroo

I was in similar circumstances today and stopped at my local McDonald's for a crispy chicken sandwich. The quality of breadbun was awful and the meat was 80% crispy batter and 20% chicken. It's astounding to me that they screw us by switching to substandard ingredients AND gouge us on the price.

BTW. a King-sized Snickers bar at my local Circle-K gas station is $4.58

The ketchup was $0.00. You should have gotten more ketchup.

How do you downsize a chicken drumstick? What are they doing- killing the chicks and serving that?
I haven't ate anything from KFC in over 20 years. Around here it is known as Kentucky Fried Wharf Rat.

It's gotten to the point in my area where Culver's is now the cheap option..

I know we come here to blow off steam and joke around but at the end of it all we really don't know what a lot of these companies are using today.

I have been a company director of several companies in various different industries over years from ground up. So i did all the crap jobs. So I got to see both sides of coin., so to speak.

Several observations

1, Generational Changing demographics Generation Z are not so interested on burger joints anymore because thy have become more health conscious. Partly blamed for social media where everyone is expected to loo like a movie star.

2. De coupling from globalization when items was made on cheaper in poorer country has no longer become available and the cost of wages in a inflation al economy.

3. Over satiation of the market place. How many burger joints do you need.

4. Higher energy costs.

5. Higher insurance costs as natural disasters etc are driving up material replacement cost.

6. Higher wages to cope with inflation.

7. Inflation as has encourage every in cycle of endless price gouging is driving inflation.

All of above impacting the bottom line in profit margin's. Many fast food chains are becoming impossible to make a living. Especially those chains working on franchise system.

There is a multinational company that own various franchise and squeeze the owners of these franchise to point some are virtually going broke.

That is why your seeing whole food chains going broke.

It is not solely an American thing it is happening globally. Interesting enough some mom and pop burger joints are thriving undercutting chains and making a profit, and serving better burgers.
