Fast food prices are on the rise, leading to customer complaints about the increasing costs. Some customers are exploring alternative, more affordable options amid the surge in prices, exacerbated by additional fees from delivery apps like UberEats and DoorDash. The inflationary impact on fast food prices is evident as consumers express frustration over the escalating costs, with examples of a Big Mac meal increasing from $8 to $12, and significant price differences observed for the same food items when ordered through delivery services.
