    Guys, even when things are getting worse, when you lie about the prices to exaggerate, people are just trying to look at you funny.

      People ARE spending these prices and higher on those items and they arent edge cases or luxury high end versions. Just because you CAN find cheaper doesnt make this post untrue

        Close enough to NYC to know these ain’t average at all and, at best, are trying to be cherry picked examples, probably from a highway if based on any facts at all.

      Those numbers aren’t really exaggerated. I’ve seen 5 dollar tacos at Taco Bell, albeit it’s was the Doritos taco supreme. Same with Subway, get premium toppings in foot long you could approach $20, definitely hit that price with large sandwiches at more premium establishments.

      On the latte front, the Starbucks CEO legit said a $9 dollar coffee is “affordable”.

        Affordable premium experience. That’s CEO for we dropped poor people. So no, that’s not what he said, at all. You should really be more precise and careful how you read. The 20oz lattes are $5.50 until you start adding 40 pumps.

        Oh right, you can find their biggest meals or a 20 oz triple pumped “latte” and add shit to create edge cases. The Internet warrior mo.

        A basic taco is $2.50 . $1.75 if you get one without a protein.
