Lower quality/quantity and much higher prices! What's not to love about making America Great Again! All of this brought to you by corporate America and DOGIE! You get what you pay for!

Sunchips is really good with home made sandwich.
#1 Tuna - light mayo, chipotle sauce, spinach, red onion, thin sliced cucumber, green pepper, oil and malt vinegar, kosher salt and pepper. Bon Appetit

We all indulge on those late night sometimes, but when the food costs as much as the uber I think we need to reconsider lol.

For me, it seems to be cheaper to run to the grocery store and pick up some premade food there, or something from the frozen section

The Microwave was one of the top inventions in my lifetime. Often would starve without one

I prefer to reheat leftover pizza in the countertop toaster/convection/"air fry" oven, versus microwaving them.

I find it suspicious that no matter which fast food place you go, you'll pay maybe $24 to $28 for two people to have dinner. All they've done, as they always do, is figure out what's the most people will pay, and charge accordingly.

Yeah, but they burn like hell when you snort them.

That's what businesses do in a market economy.

In a fixed economy, there's either nothing to buy, exactly the same things in all the exact same businesses etc. Or, usually, sawdust rolls with "smeat" protein...

Fast food. We've all been trained to stand up to order and pay. Stand around and wait to pick up your tray and take it to a table.
Now, we get to tap a bacteria stained screen, pay by card only and sit down and wait for our food.
It's getting so I prefer to do drive through and sit in my car. Yell at the microphone, pay window, pick up food. No tipping.

OK, if you're willing to tolerate being treated in this manner...

I'm not.

FF is in my rear-view mirror...and my wallet, patience and health are better for it!

I will contend that NO ONE that was normal, ever, really liked, "Cold Pizza". It's just that there was no way to heat it up quickly enough!

Short story: WAY back when microwave ovens started coming out. We never had one, to much money for my depression era Dad to spend on something like that. He was one of the original "House Flippers". And had bought a house that had a small fire. In that house was an early microwave oven. Huge thing, on the outside, and weighed about 45 lbs. Something had happened to it that made it make a very loud buzzing sound. The kind of sound that you couldn't stand to be in the same room wit it. He had the thing all apart and could find no way to fix that sound. So, the microwave oven stayed in the basement, in a corner of his workshop. When you wanted to heat pizza, or anything else, you went down in the basement to do it. He gave it to me when I moved to Portland in '83 and I used it for a few years. In the laundry room of our rental house. With the door closed of course.

Um... that loud buzzing sound was the food being irradiated by radioactive waste that shook loose in that oven. Have you noticed any strange growths on your back? An extra digit on your hand or extra toe on your foot? An extra eye? Rapid, unexplained hair loss? Anything strange like that?

Having always worked nights I was long used to coming home in the morning and heating up stuff from the dinner night before. When Wife first talked me into trying a microwave I was resisting as the damn thing cost enough to buy a working used car. Finally agreed to get one and in a couple days I was saying should have bought it far earlier. Suddenly warming food was SOOOO much easier. For me cold pizza has always been something I would have to be REALLY hungry to eat. Wife does it now and then and it makes me cringe seeing her eat it like that

Yeah. I told Wifey that NO ONE ever liked cold pizza. She's blonde-blonde though. So there's that.
