...let me modify...
For anyone that values food worthy of eating and can take 5 minutes to order something before leaving the house.
Sure, there’s still loads of people addicted to garbage and just drive to the drive through before they choose what they want.
Now we’ll see how supply & demand impact sales in Cali. If people are fine with $16 burger meals from McD’s then I can only surmise that they’re addicted to trash.
A lot of the growth is also global - loads of stores opening in China.
I went to 5 Guys about a month ago. What used to cost around $9 is now $19. Not going back.
$15 an hour minimum = .25 a minute.
Seems reasonable to me for a high end metro area...+
Increasing the minimum wage has consequences.
I ate at the Five Guys in Mountain View, CA once about ten years ago. It was something like $14 for a burger, fries, and tax back then. I never went back and never will.
...and the avalanche of French Fries?
Five Guys is NOTORIOUS for French Fry overload; a large order of fries comes in a 20oz soft drink cup, which they put in a sack, then bury with more.
I was traveling with my son in Kill Devil Hills, NC last year and stopped into the Five guys out there. Each ordered a burger, drink and large fries — our order came out in two sacks and one of them was just for the fries: two 20oz cups full and buried 3/4 of the way to the top.
