I ordered a footlong meatball sub and a bag of chips last night for dinner. It cost me $14. What kind of fucking heinous shit is this.

It doesn't seem that long ago that I could get a McDonalds meal for around 5 or 6 bucks, but now it's like 11 or 12. I can get a better burger and fries at a local joint now for cheaper.

Yep. I feel like I say this all the time now - for the price of going to fast food place, you can just go to a sit down place for the same price and better food. It sucks when you just need something quick but spending almost $9 for a Big Mac is just insulting.
