Screw Taco Bell

Lounge

And any other fast food raising thier prices to this degree.

I will probably never eat there again.

I live in iowa. The minumum wage here is $7.25 an hour I think. This means someone working an 8 hour day on minimum wage would earn 58 dollars for that day before taxes and such are taken out.

I went to get taco bell for us a short time ago today. I got one hardshell supreme taco party pack and 1 softshell party pack(not supreme). Any idea what it cost? Almost 52 dollars!

This means that someone working minimum wage would have to spend their entire day working to purchase this taco bell. For TACO BELL. Junk food basically.

I dont plan on going there again. It’s outrageous. If Im going to spend that much money, I might as well get something better to eat.

Screw Taco Bell!

I’ve seen a meme going around, measuring inflation in ‘Big Macs Per Hour’ of minimum wage. That seems like a fairly straightforward way to look at things.

I was in such disbelief, I thought they made a mistake. I had to keep looking at the order screen over and over.

Yeah that is a lot of money
Five Guys is even more expensive

The rising costs of eating out in general is getting ridiculous

I spent over $120 on eating out at a Chinese restaurant for 3 people

It’s a sin

I hate to go off on a tangent, but if it gets more expensive, maybe I’ll need someone to cosine on that sin.

Gotta thank inflation for that. We need to make a better system than the Federal Reserve.

Taco bell isnt very healthy anyways. Next time order from the value menu I can get two big burritos for 8 bucks on value menu

Two big burritos for only about 110% hourly minimum wage? Now that’s giving 110%!

I don’t think there will be a next time. That was such sticker shock from a supposedly cheap place to eat that I see no reason to eat there again.

I make more than the minimum wage on my monthly check, but that is just not worth it. I can eat better places for that much money or just not eat out.

We have one. But its clear on the other side of town. We have other taco places that have better food though.

Edit: actually we have 2. I forgot about the one in the mall.

Check out how much meat was in my crunchwrap supreme. I noticed it felt super flat and opened it up and this was the view. I’m never ordering any more closed-up items at that location. There are two nearby, the other one doesn’t pull this crap. I will probably go there instead for awhile.

I feel bad for workers who work at fast food joints, I think they need a higher minimum wage. Workers at places like this make double in California what they do here in Virginia, it’s insane.
