I love it but agree. Fast casual is pricing itself out the last 2 years.

I use my Sip and Save at Circle K, and bring my Polar Pop to fast food places.

yup. Way expensive. My favorite chain burger. But expensive.

Wrong. that’s not what we ordered. In fact, 4 of us got the junior.

1/23/23 12:19pm

I think my location might be a little more than average

1/23/23 12:21pm
