        That’s fucked up btw, that American companies are allowed to display the prices before tax.

        You either need to do math every time you buy something or be surprised that it’s more expensive than advertised.

        I can visit actual full service restaurants and get a similar burger (with a bigger patty and better quality) for about $16 that comes with fries. A drink might be $2.

        Because the US is stupid, I’ll have to tip. But that’s only like $3.

        Overall, that’s only two bucks more after tipping.

        Fast food is the same price, for worse food, and worse service. They’ve forgotten their place.
