Fast food isn't a luxury. A luxury is something extravagant, high quality, and highly enjoyable. Fast food is simply an overpriced disappointment.
it's obviously a luxury of convenience. nobody has ever claimed fast food was extravagant or high quality.
If that's the case, a luxury of convenience, then fast food was and still is a luxury. Or maybe fast food was an $affordable luxury of convenience and now it is an $$$expensive luxury of convenience. Ok, that makes sense to me.
It barely tastes like food to me anymore!
I dont eat much meat, but i still like a good crispy chicken sandwich- now that costs $12, is so brined and salty i get kinda grossed out, and has 3 gristley bits i have to spit into a napkin. And i sweat grease and stink for a day.
Sweat grease and stink? Bruh go to a doctor lol
30 years ago, fast food may hit the "highly enjoyable" part... but now, for many, it's hitting the "something extravagant" part because of the cost (proportional to their disposable income)
You question reclassifing 7-11 as a Luxury Retail Outlet?
The first half of this post is completely incorrect.
