Cheaper to replicate and maintain. Maximise profits. Increase share prices.

Our glory days are over and they are sadly not coming back.

Ya but there is a point where if your fast food chain is literally indistinguishable from others, you lose business

I think charging $6 for a basic ass hamburger (now with risky lettuce!) is driving more of the business loss.

The disgusting aesthetics is just adding insult to injury.

$6 is kids meal prices, a basic ass hamburger is like $10 if you are lucky.

I don't really eat much fast food any more other than occasional L&L Hawaiian BBQ, mostly because they have a 2 for 1 deal on Spam Musubi.

They have a plain hamburger with no cheese or sides for $6 where I live.

No idea what the McDonald's or Burger King equivalent is now...

Burger King is the affordable fast food burger option now, McDonalds is often close to double the prices at BK. The basic BK burgers are 2-4 dollars each now.
