    McDonalds is especially egregious recently. Time was you could get a set for ¥500 (about 5 dollars) Then suddenly all the menu items went up to ¥700 - ¥800. That starts to get very very close to the alternatives which are much better. The only competitive edge they had was price really.

      Same in Europe, MacDonalds used to be the cheap fast option. Now it’s almost restaurant prices. If I pay restaurant money I expect restaurant quality, not fast food.
