In Canada, just about any fast food place has taken a nosedive off a cliff in terms of quality and bang for the buck.
You can literally make the same kinda things at home for the same if not less money for a family, or just spend the same money and go to an actual restaurant.
I worked at A&W when they would have their 2 Can Dine for $X.99 specials, and the X was always a low number like 5, 6, 7, etc. Now, a single basic burger is $12, and a combo will be closer to $20.
There's no way that cost of materials has grown that much since the 90s to support a price increase like that.
Yeah my wife says the same thing, she worked A&W when she was in high school and can’t believe how expensive it is now. Material costs have increased, but not that much.
I can remember after hockey games, half our team would pile into our cars and head to the 24 hour Wendy's, we'd all have some form of 2 can Dine coupon we got in the mail, or the Double up on Dave's Double(2 combos for one), it was always like 2 for 8.99 or something like you said.
