It is “insane” over here in the Netherlands also;

• MC donalds “standard” menu; ±/ 15 Euros (used to be around 8-10 euros)
• Dominos Pizza medium “special”; 15+ Euros (used to be around 10 euros for the same pizza)

It’s already close to a price hike of 50+ percent.

Went out to dinner with a few friends to a Korean BBQ place; 40 euros for all you can eat per person. It was nice but the amount of food that one should eat to get to the 40 euro treshhold is insane. I think I ate for a maximum of 15 euros of food.

Other places also aggressively jacked up their prices for the exact same menu and quality (or lack of). I just cannot be arsed anymore to eat out.

The new fastfood prices are getting closer to the restaurant prices pre inflation. I don’t see any incentive to actually pay those prices for the lack of quality of the food.

I also see that the same fastfood chains ‘quietly’ implemented shrinkflation in regards of toppings or portion sizes so one gets screwed over double.

I liked to get some fastfood once or twice every 2 weeks, but I just cannot be bothered anymore.

the kicker is that for that 15 euros worth of fastfood I can get close to a weeks of selfcooked dinner.

I already see some grocery stores actually lowering the prices of certain items and aggressively put items on huge discounts.

Serious, what is the point?

The momentum to actually make a stand was after that 48 hours. Some subs actually made a stand but more than enough were happy with the status quo.

Are they gonna do another timed blackout or weak sauce post restriction strike?

Define “a few weeks”

The blackout started 12-06 which is 2 + weeks ago.

Lemmy and Kbin are still here and I see no sign of it slowing down. I see much more posts with more engagement which is a good thing.
