Five guys was expensive before the pandemic
Now it takes 5 guys to buy one burger.....
I stopped buying 5 guys when a burger combo meal was $17.50, and that was FOUR YEARS ago.
TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME-meet you all at the Supermarket.
Refusal to buy is always the consumers' strongest weapon.
Who is the greater fool here? The restaurant arguably overcharging for the food? Or you, letting them gouge you?
Rents, bills, gas prices, groceries, dining out, car insurance - everything is rising these days, except people's salaries. How can you cope with inflation???? It's getting harder and harder to save!
I brought a meat grinder and make my own burgers now using Brisket, Chuck, Short Rib mix and get the best quality burger for a fraction of Fast Food price. The labor price of paying a employee $15 a hour should not have that much of an effect on burger prices if they selling hundreds of burgers a hour
People are only complaining about 5 guys now? They were always price gouging people since the start even before inflation
I hardly go to Five Guys anymore. Over 20 bucks for one person is RIDICULOUS for one person.
They're (mostly) doing it because they can. During the 2022 inflation surge restaurants noticed they could pass on costs quite extensively to consumers. When costs started deflating, they just kept the higher margins and continued to test out how high they could push their margins. This continued throughout the supply-chain until there was pushback.
This used to be my favorite place to get a burger. I stopped going because of how high the prices got. It's insane.
The real outrage should be about those $5 french fries. Potatoes are not expensive, you can get like 5 pounds of them for a few bucks.
On top of that, they have the nerve to ask if we want to tip?
The prices went up so much but the food quality went down. Paying $25 for a meal and having all the food be cold and stale will make anyone never go back.
People complain about fast food prices but yet they keep buying meals from them.
This isn't just inflation, this is simply price gouging.
The craziest thing is the people still paying those prices.
I love how the people complain but they're still buying the product anyway😂
Again as it has been said before, STOP EATING OUT FOR ONE MONTH, ANYWHERE, AND WATCH THEM LOWER THEIR PRICES!!!!
