Also I like how all these fast food places are coming out with meal deals but the funny thing is that there more expensive than what they were a few years ago like for instance mcdonald's has a drink burger small fries and 4 piece nugget for 5 dollars now but I remember a few years ago like 2-3 it was called 4 for 4 it just shows that they only want money
Wow, that’s really expensive. Where are you located at what state cause it’s not that expensive where I live in California I can see why it’s expensive you’re there.
People need to stop willfully paying these ungodly prices. As long as they can get away with it and someone will buy it, this will only get worse. Consumers need to boycott fast food in general.

Even restaurants don't offer good or fresh meals. What restaurants are you talking about? Everyone just heats their food up nowadays, due to, you guessed it, CONVENIENCE.
It's to the point that we have to make stuff at home. Even then, it can be very pricey. Idk... There's just no getting away from spending our money away. Our pay stays the same while everything's getting ridiculously expensive
@@Moon_Presence excellent point. What I think most miss, the costs of a cooked-to-order restaurant, made primarily from whole ingredients versus purchased premade foods from a mass food distributor is the biggest separating factor. Potentially exponentially greater in cost today! These restaurants exist in more metropolitan areas of course, and must be priced inaccessibly to most people to cover the costs of doing business. The ultra rare occurrence of your small town American diner that still prepares most of their own foods is a beautiful thing.
@@Moon_Presence that's kind of a weird take. Back then certain restaurants that were mainstream were popular and nowadays arent as good anymore. But they still are up and running. That's why you see them instead of original restaurants that go out of business in a year or so.

@Dimez757 yep, you know it's bad when I can get a new york strip, side, and unlimited cherry coke at my local bar for the same price as a 5 piece chicken tender large combo.
Is it confirmed that they nerfed their best product? I don't eat out often but the last time I got a chicken sandwich from them it seemed smaller than when they were popular.
Seriously spot on with the tenders, it's sad that their standards have gone to crap. I remember when they first opened a restaurant where I live the tenders were actually large and fresh but now it's literally what you described them. Good to know I'm not the only one to think this.
@@lawrencemeadonia7500 what really gets me is... they started messing with/ screwing with the chkn sandwich right when it started getting ALOT of online media praise and attention.
Make your own, people. Buy a pack of chicken tenders $5 and change here in Texas grocery stores. Throw them in a bowl with a little seasoning. Mix. Throw in some flour. Enough to cover tenders and a bit extra. Throw more seasoning on top of flour. Mix everything well until tenders covered. Heat up some oil and drop them bad boys in. Cook till golden brown. Take out and put on a plate with paper towels. Fries. Potatoes. Cheap as hell. Cut potatoes in desired fry shape. Skinny, thick, skin off, skin on. Whatever. Soak fries in bowl of water after cutting. Soak for an hour. The starch will come out of the fries so they wont be soggy. Rinse fries then drain water. It also helps to dry fries with a paper towel or towel but it isn't required. Just makes them a bit more crispier. Then just heat up oil and cook until golden brown. Put some seasoning on fries right when you take them out or just salt. Easy. Way cheaper and makes a lot more. I suck at cooking but anybody can follow this.
You could even get really good at it, the same way that Popeyes does and freeze them ready to go all breaded, then throw in the fryer and have food faster than if you were waiting in line.
We live in an age where people buy peanut butter and jelly premixed lol. The second you start talking about cooking for yourself everybody’s eyes glaze over
better off making a buttermilk marinade with smoked paprika and garlic, salt and pepper and a little cayenne. Mix flour, cornstarch, and a little baking powder. Season with garlic onion coriander smoked paprika salt pepper thyme and msg, sprinkle some of the marinade into the flour to create little crispy pieces, then take the chicken from the marinade and coat it in the flour. That buttermilk will make the chicken more tender plus the flour will stick very well to it. Just coating with flour with no adhesive will be a disappointment
@@Hathnotseen That's way too much and goes off track of what my comment was originally and obviously made to do, which was a recipe to cook something extremely easy to make. And no, just using flour is not disappointing. You'll get a crispy outside like you would do any other way. More complex ways like your recipe is just for the overrated crunch and extra flair to the flavor. Trust me, I've tried all of them. It's just more work for basically prettier tenders. Less is more.
@@QargZer thats just not even remotely close to true. companies already make up to 500% markups in price. it isn't minimum wage, its corporate greed. don't target workers, be mad at the conglomerates that buy out congress and own the billionaires that are then given presidency.
@@QargZer Why the fuck are you people so quick and eager to just shaft the working class at every turn. No the reason your super sized omega order is more expensive now is not because folks want to live on a sustainable wage.
Keep fighting the good fight brother, even on time constraints you're investing in yourself in a way folks couldn't see themselves doing. Betcha your meals quality is more consistent and rewarding when you make it yourself, eh?
Me too I use a crock pot / microwave to cook. I bought a 12v plug in freezer that fits bags of frozen chicken and veggies. Plus my stuff in the truck fridge. I eat good because I know how to cook and be creative.
The used cars being high priced was when they were having trouble getting the computer chips for new cars. People couldn't find the make/model they wanted available as new, so they bought used, driving up those prices
Haven't bought fast food in over 2 years, the prices in Canada have been increasing so dramatically that I can't justify it, a double cheeseburger is $5.
there is a reason I have NOT done business with subway for 3 years and counting...but as long as people keep going there and willingly pay those prices nothing will change.
I LITERALLY just ordered Popeyes for dinner the other day for me and my daughter and noticed (I'm Canadian though) that their wings were 24 Wings for $43!!! That's almost $2 a wing!! 😳
@@TailionisI don’t think anyone has ever missed the point as much as you just did, people should be able to enjoy food they like without paying ridiculous prices 💀
@@drdeadite Inflation isn't happening because of any attempt to raise wages, its because we have consistently printed money to bail out banks, airlines, automakers etc... The trillions of dollars in cumulative bailouts DWARFS the limited increase in wages for fast food workers.
@@Sammysapphira The cost of labor has always gone up proportional to cost of living, until this last decade where it has statistically stagnated. The data is readily available.
In the past 10 years, CEO pay has gone up 1500%. Labor pay has stagnated during this time, effectively decreasing salaries. Corporate profits are at their highest point in recorded history. Paying employees more is not the problem, it's just the scapegoat used to justify price gouging
Chinese food, man. There's Chinese places everywhere, they're cheap, and they'll regularly give you enough food to feed multiple people. They've got higher quality food because they're all small businesses that can't coast on brand recognition, but the American Chinese menu is so standardized that it's fast-food-level reliable and I've never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes for the food. Ever since I started eating at Chinese places I've never gone back to fast food.
How is it not food? It's chicken, fried. A hamburger is a sandwich with meat, cheese, maybe bacon, lettuce, you name it. All of that is food. Is pizza not food either? Next thing we're saying it's not edible at all. If it wasn't food, every fast food chain would have closed. It's not food but people try to recreate these fast food items at home, I wonder why...
@@princebophadeesit's highly processed garbage. Look up the ingredients and calorie count for your fast food. They want to recreate them because it's ultraprocessed junk high in fat and salt and calories and low in nutritional value, which some people get addicted to because the can't cook and feed themselves like adults.
*THANK YOU FOR CALLING OUT THE PRICES* You've glossed over them in the past saying "it is what it is" but we really need to start putting our money where our mouth is. I'm relatively well-off compared to most people but I am so tired of seeing insane prices for groceries and restaurants. Thank you for calling them out on these insane prices. Keep doing it!
The basics haven't gone up in price all that much. Making stuff from scratch is still an option, if not the better option more than in the recent past.
Many fast food restaurants need to start being called out and Popeyes is definitely at the top of that list. Saw a lady spend $50 for a family meal at popeyes that only consisted of 10 pieces of chicken, biscuits, and 2 family size sides. Their prices are ridiculous now.
At these prices, I'm surprised these places aren't closing in huge masses. No one is going to be able to afford it for what it is, and it won't be long before fast food no longer exists.
The same international investment firms which own them own literally everything else in our economy including the manufacture and value of the currency. The world is exactly as its planned to be
Sadly if the prices say for instance double and ppl go half as much as they used to the place still gets the same amount of money and serves less food for it. So enough ppl would have to boycott it entirely to see any kind of change. And sadly it was increased to support a higher minimum wag for their employees during the trucker strike, so minimum wage won't go down. Even stuff in grocery stores went up and stayed there, because they realized ppl would pay that price for it. It's all fueled by greed and it would be nice to see things drop back down to what they were, but reality is they probably won't. Alot of places for various companies food related have shutdown places everywhere, so it's possible for a change if ppl stop going to places once the price gets ridiculous, which we are at that point now so yea.
@@matthew.m.stevick Executive salaries are significantly less than the cost of low skilled labour. This is what happens when you raise the minimum wage for burger flipping.
If they do it like Hardees, they take the basic chicken, cook it, then shake it up in the "spice bin" and then serve it up. That spice is awful, god forbid you open it too soon and clouds of spice come out and burn your eyes, lungs, and nose. Spice to companies is "let's just make it burn" when they should use actual thought out spice mixtures for spiciness.

Panera Bread raised their prices over 40% since 2021. For comparative purposes, at it's highest point (July 2022) Inflation was in the 11%-14% range, and it's been around 3% since last year and slowly falling.

People don’t take pride in looking sharp anymore. Taking pride in hygiene and dressing up drastically can affect how you interact and prioritize your focus on tasks.
I’m honestly thankful for this mess with fast food, because it has finally pushed our family of five to start making everything at home. We are saving hundreds of dollars per week while getting better quality food and more time together. I literally made three 15” pizzas loaded with toppings last night for under $10, and with a bread machine making the dough, my active time in the process is probably less than 20 minutes from start to finish.
Yeah, using their app will drop the price dramatically. I use a coupon in the app and only pay $13. For 2 sides, 2 biscuits and 5 piece tender no drink.
@@Daniel_H_Rich People who don't use the app and order in store subsidize the lower prices people see on the mobile apps. Pretty much every restaurant is doing this so that the only way you are really seeing any value is if you only order offers or redeeming free food from points or some other method.
Had to click on this video after seeing the title 😭😭😭 “Should I go there? Well I am..” that’s how I feel about stuff in life sometimes. We all fed up about something.
When the company pushes all the costs on the customer in order to maintain a very luxurious lifestyle. CEO pay cuts nowhere in site. CEO bonuses sky high.
im done with fast food...it is so terrible....the quality is getting worse...and the people that slap it together care less and less by the min...they charge more for the food and don't pay the workers so the workers don't care....that is what they need to fix.
Bro fast food is FAST FOOD you not buying for quality and I heard California has a 20$ hr now and that still isn’t enough in this economy or California 😂😂.
What's crazy is that for $50 you can make your own tenders/nuggets you can eat for a few days. They are surprisingly easy to make if people just tried it.
Dude, You come across as genuine in a way that cannot be faked. You're so different(in a good way). You remind me of the guys who were on TV before the 80's came and everything went down-hill. Your mannerisms and the way you express yourself are just plain interesting to watch. Well done.

I was craving some Popeyes, but after a few Google searches I saw that all the Popeyes near me closed 5 years ago. I wonder if their corporate changed hands and an equity firm is running the quality into the ground just to squeeze a buck out of a declining company. It already happened to Subway
We went to Jersey Mike's twice. The cheesesteak was good, but it wasn't $20 good. I can get a steak sandwich and a side for lunch from Longhorn Steakhouse for way less than that.
I definitely agree that prices for fast food have risen too high. I hope it pushes people to eat at home and cook. It will be a healthier world if that happened.
To everyone saying "people are still buying this stuff though, even at the inflated prices", no they're not. Look at ticker YUM and look at a six month chart. Look at McDonald's stock price on the 6 month chart. Fast food companies are eating the curb as we speak.
Yup. Three times $8 for the three flavors of wings, plus $20 for his own meal, in case he didn't like the wings, plus sales tax and likely local restaurant tax (which can be, like, 11% in some places). $50.

@guthetanuki256 I've found it's actually cheaper to eat at denny's and Applebee's and places like that better food too, I can spend $35 for two steaks with two sides and appetizer at Applebee's... we went to jack in the box yesterday and spent $32.75 on 10 junior chicken sandwiches
Yes, the spice craze is out of control. Not everyone wants a trip to the er. I personally cannot take too much spice and pretty much have to avoid anything spicy nowadays. Thank you for being our voice!!! ❤
with a title like that, I instantly clicked, I always love reviewbrah's absolute DISGUST with certain items lmao, whether it be food quality or pricing.
If you went ahead and willingly paid for it instead of telling them to cancel your order and leaving, you're part of the problem. As long as people still pay they'll keep doing it. For $18 you could get like 30 pounds of rice.
I once ordered a dark-only, chicken-only 8-piece from Popeyes. Again: Chicken-only. No sides, no drink. Cost me nearly $30.00. I will never eat at Popeyes again until the prices come down, and I don't care if that means never eating there again in my life. This is completely insane. You have no self-respect if you pay that amount for fried chicken, no matter how good. Boycott this crap.
What is also wild is that they were already overpriced 10 years ago compared to other fast food restaurants... so it's only gotten much worse since! They won't see a penny from me at these prices
@@brelaxed13He didn't say wings. Dark only has drumsticks,thighs, wings. Last I was at KFC I ordered 12pc dark only and it cost $32. That's insane. By the way dark meat tends to be more moist.

There's no point in fast food anymore when you can go to an actual restaurant and get good quality, fresh meals for the same price
Convenience
Even restaurants don't offer good or fresh meals. What restaurants are you talking about? Everyone just heats their food up nowadays, due to, you guessed it, CONVENIENCE.
It's to the point that we have to make stuff at home. Even then, it can be very pricey. Idk... There's just no getting away from spending our money away. Our pay stays the same while everything's getting ridiculously expensive
@@Moon_Presence excellent point. What I think most miss, the costs of a cooked-to-order restaurant, made primarily from whole ingredients versus purchased premade foods from a mass food distributor is the biggest separating factor. Potentially exponentially greater in cost today! These restaurants exist in more metropolitan areas of course, and must be priced inaccessibly to most people to cover the costs of doing business. The ultra rare occurrence of your small town American diner that still prepares most of their own foods is a beautiful thing.
@@Moon_Presence that's kind of a weird take. Back then certain restaurants that were mainstream were popular and nowadays arent as good anymore. But they still are up and running. That's why you see them instead of original restaurants that go out of business in a year or so.

Their so called 'chicken tenders' are dried out bits of chicken jerky.

Is it confirmed that they nerfed their best product? I don't eat out often but the last time I got a chicken sandwich from them it seemed smaller than when they were popular.
Seriously spot on with the tenders, it's sad that their standards have gone to crap. I remember when they first opened a restaurant where I live the tenders were actually large and fresh but now it's literally what you described them. Good to know I'm not the only one to think this.

Make your own, people. Buy a pack of chicken tenders $5 and change here in Texas grocery stores. Throw them in a bowl with a little seasoning. Mix. Throw in some flour. Enough to cover tenders and a bit extra. Throw more seasoning on top of flour. Mix everything well until tenders covered. Heat up some oil and drop them bad boys in. Cook till golden brown. Take out and put on a plate with paper towels.
Fries. Potatoes. Cheap as hell. Cut potatoes in desired fry shape. Skinny, thick, skin off, skin on. Whatever. Soak fries in bowl of water after cutting. Soak for an hour. The starch will come out of the fries so they wont be soggy. Rinse fries then drain water. It also helps to dry fries with a paper towel or towel but it isn't required. Just makes them a bit more crispier. Then just heat up oil and cook until golden brown. Put some seasoning on fries right when you take them out or just salt.
Easy. Way cheaper and makes a lot more. I suck at cooking but anybody can follow this.
You could even get really good at it, the same way that Popeyes does and freeze them ready to go all breaded, then throw in the fryer and have food faster than if you were waiting in line.
cant do that in the car
We live in an age where people buy peanut butter and jelly premixed lol. The second you start talking about cooking for yourself everybody’s eyes glaze over
better off making a buttermilk marinade with smoked paprika and garlic, salt and pepper and a little cayenne. Mix flour, cornstarch, and a little baking powder. Season with garlic onion coriander smoked paprika salt pepper thyme and msg, sprinkle some of the marinade into the flour to create little crispy pieces, then take the chicken from the marinade and coat it in the flour. That buttermilk will make the chicken more tender plus the flour will stick very well to it. Just coating with flour with no adhesive will be a disappointment
@@Hathnotseen That's way too much and goes off track of what my comment was originally and obviously made to do, which was a recipe to cook something extremely easy to make. And no, just using flour is not disappointing. You'll get a crispy outside like you would do any other way. More complex ways like your recipe is just for the overrated crunch and extra flair to the flavor. Trust me, I've tried all of them. It's just more work for basically prettier tenders. Less is more.

So enough ppl would have to boycott it entirely to see any kind of change. And sadly it was increased to support a higher minimum wag for their employees during the trucker strike, so minimum wage won't go down. Even stuff in grocery stores went up and stayed there, because they realized ppl would pay that price for it. It's all fueled by greed and it would be nice to see things drop back down to what they were, but reality is they probably won't. Alot of places for various companies food related have shutdown places everywhere, so it's possible for a change if ppl stop going to places once the price gets ridiculous, which we are at that point now so yea.

You can tell what type of neiborhood your in with the chicken joints. chickfila good area kfc decent area popeyes not that great area then browns chicken, which i like, is in the bad part of town 😂
It's funny cause as the prices go up they take away the cheap options they had only to now bring similar options back because no one is going there
Occasionally Popeyes coupons come in the Savers flyer in the mail. The only way I eat Popeye's chicken is with a coupon.
Same here 👍
....or the app for the phone...ONLY THE "DEALS"
Sad thing is the coupon most of the time only reduces the price back to what the prices used to be before the coupon lol.
I stopped eating out altogether when I saw that it would cost $15 just to get a subway meal. Never going back to any establishment.

It used to be people wore a mask and had a weapon when they stole from you like this. $50, holy shite.
Welp. Wrap it up boys. Our Fourth of July weekend is absolutely toast. The Groundhog of the Week has spoken.
Its dumb how it costs around $1 more to go to a sit down restaurant to get take out and get food thats proper and homemade over fast food
