This is happening outside the US as well.

Fast food places aren’t fast or cheap anymore. Big Mac and Whopper meals are about 10€

For 2€ more I can get a real burger at an actual restaurant.

Food costs and employee costs have gone up. They are not immune. They just have a poorer product. When the difference in cost between high quality and average quality is less of a value difference.

If a big Mac is $2 and a burger at a nice place is $5, lots will get the big Mac. If a big Mac is $8 and the nice one is $11, lots will get the nice one.

Not only that, bit as the staff cost goes up, there are even more people who will say, screw it, I'll cook my own.
