I’m surprised the two lowest ones are Subway and Starbucks. Where’s the $5 foot long? And I guess Starbucks has always been expensive so $6 for a coffee isn’t much of an increase from what it was.
The $5 footlong hasn't existed for years (honestly maybe a decade) at this point. It's like a $10 footlong now.
Does every thread have to include a reminder of how old I am? I remember living life $5 at a time.
Yup, me too. I used to be able to get lunch for a week with $20 back in high school in the mid-late 2000's. Almost everywhere had a dollar menu where you could get a pretty decent meal for a few bucks. Over time the portions got smaller and more expensive though to the point where you can't really do that anymore.
i remember when starbucks first opened, dunkin donuts was selling plain black coffee for 10 cents a cup.
I was surprised too, but then I found this vvv. This people are making 25 billion profit which now makes sense for the comparatively low percentage
