A customer couldn’t believe how high her bill was at Five Guys.

TikToker @retailcheapskate is certain the burger franchise is highway robbery. After ordering dinner, she was stunned by the $74 price tag that came with it. When she posted a receipt for the meal, it sparked a debate.

“When did Five Guys become a five star restaurant?! This is four hamburgers, two fries and drinks,” the video text read.

She held the receipt up to the camera. The order total was $70.10, and after a $3.53 tip, came out to $74.10.

“Five Guys is highway robbery!” she wrote in the caption.

The video received over 1.8 million views.

It’s called “inflation.” Vote differently or just deal with it, ahole.

@retailcheapskate can’t read prices on a menu nor work some simple math. Possible Brandon administration pickup.

I have eaten at 5 guys before. I might eat there again cause the food was not bad.

I thought it was overpriced, but if I were somewhere and hungry and saw a choice between mcD or Wendy, Bk or subbyway some other rando places and I was on an expense account sure absolutely.

Maths is Hard, very hard. Alexa how much is my burger meal going to cost with tax?

do I have enough credits ?

Another Gen Z discovering that in the real world you actually have to pay for things. Life is so unfair. No wonder they vote for Biden.

Inflation isn’t as apparent to people who don’t get out much. They’re shocked by reality most of the world lives.

They all probably voted for it too.
