Burgers cost almost 10 dollars and aren't big at all, I don't understand where this fiveguys = big shit comes from.

Standard fries are 3 dollars and are a small portion. If you want the big meal you're expecting at an expensive burger place you're spending 15 dollars for simply a bacon cheeseburger and fries... Add on a basic drink and you're close to hitting 20...

Cost more than a decent meal at a sit down restaraunt. The only thing they have is '' WE LOAD ARE FOOD WITH AS MUCH CALORIES AS POSSIBLE!! ''.

This place must've increased their prices, they're even more expensive than I thought.

How are they still in business?

Uh oh, tubby over here is upset that he cant grow his fifth chin at a reasonable price. Here's a tip, lard ass. Ditch the fucking fries and the shitty soda. Get a water cup. Actually fill it with water.

Fat people being surprised that their giant meals cost a lot of money are more retarded than those stupid 4 dollar fries.

This. The key is to get the "little" items. A little fry is all you need since they fill the bag up anyway.
A little cheeseburger is just a regular 1 patty burger instead of the double. Also the reason they are so expensive is because of all the "free" toppings they give you so take advantage of that shit and load it up with everything. It's pointless to go there and just get a plain burger with mayo or something.
Yeah their drinks are overpriced to hell but I always just get a water when I go there.

It was only a felony robbery for hitting the guy with his car. Also the manager broke the law because they are not legally allowed to hold a person there. This is like getting struck by lighting. You'd have to have a manager see it happen, care enough to make a scene in the first place, and be crazy enough to pursue you.

Its mostly the fries. An 8 pound bag of potatoes and a quart of oil in my town costs $3.60 but they buy in bulk and wholesale so it's even cheaper for them. The burger itself is a big enough meal for a normal person but people feel like they need to have fries with it and it costs them barely anything. Same thing with the soda. They are Jewing you hard on those two items

The milkshakes are expensive but they are made with 100% actual dairy products, not like how other fast food joints use barely enough milk to have it technically be a milkshake (looking at you McDicks)

They use quality ingredients and have to keep all of those toppings fresh and on hand so there ends up being a significant amount of wastage in that department

To put it in perspective a big mac and a little cheeseburger (with no toppings) are both 540 calories. Where I live a big mac costs $4 and a little cheeseburger costs $5.60. I would gladly pay an extra $1.60 for a quality burger with all the extra toppings I want over the big mac

I eat at this place like once or twice a year. Their food tastes good. It's like $14 or something for the burger, fries and a drink. I can afford under $30 a year for fast food. I like them. If I ate fast food daily then no, it wouldn't be feasible in any way. That would be like $5,096 a year. But once or twice a year, it works and it's good.

My usual order is a little hamburger with everything, small cajun fries and water and it's more than enough to fill me up. It used to cost around $7, but it's a little over $9 now.

A double patty burger, or any of their regular burgers, and the medium/large fries is enough food for two meals.

>> No.8732070

Went there once, never again.
Single cheeseburger which was the size of an A&W burger, and a medium fries cost me 13.50. And that was 6 years ago. Probably 20 bucks now (canadian).
If I'm going to pay that much for a fucking burger, I'll just go to a bar which has larger and better tasting burgers, and I can have a beer and watch the game too. Most overrated food place ever.
