Five guys is at the very bottom of my "list of things that are so needlessly expensive that now I actively hate".
Cause they're so fucking good, and they use better stuff than most.
The moment that changes... will be the day I either go no-beef, or start rioting.
Depends on the location too. For my location everything on the menu is $2 more than it is in the nearby, similarly-sized city. And there's a high quality Wendy's right next door.
I'll take good Wendy's at half the price of Five Guys.
Of course everyone is doing tiered pricing. You either use their apps or pay double. I think half of it is to get the app on your phone, and the other half is simply to make you jump through hoops for lower pricing. They all want to charge obscene prices, and then if you object, give you an option other than not going there. "Just install our app" could just as easily be "pat your head while standing on one leg and rubbing your stomach, and we'll give you 40% off."
I'm sorry, but fuck Wendy's. Yes, capitalism is in decline around us all, but fuck Wendy's for deciding they're gonna be the first in fast food to push that envelope to full-blown-shit mode. And their burgers are just eh.
(Hey, pssst... so, quoting etiquette typically means you're not using the quoting carrot on something not in the the comment you are replying to without noting it in the comment somehow. I was staring very confused at my replies inbox for, like, 4-5 read throughs of your reply, because its an opinion I could have typed, and couldn't remember at all lol. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️)
Pretty sure it was around after Dave Thomas passed that the quality took a dive at many franchise locations, similar poor business decisions looking for short term profits over long term customers affecting many businesses these days.
The data is delicious for ‘em. Assists in world domination plans. Not really but they’ll eventually fine tune who gets deals real good IMO.

Income based fast food prices
Culver's destroys fg for quality and price
Sometimes I go there just for an order of fries because they're just that good. I can't bring myself to pay $14 for a burger though.
