I'm saying that when I was a kid...it was a big treat to get to go to McDonalds.
We ate at home every night.
But once every couple of weeks or so we might all get to go to McDonalds (as a family). My parents and 3 of us kids. It was an inexpensive and kinda fun thing to do in a small town when you are a kid.
Not so sure that it's so easy to do these days for those kinds of people because it's not a cheap night out anymore. So it gets done less (if at all) in that situation.
These days...I go to Inn & Out. Not only do they taste better. But it's a lot cheaper to go there too.
And if you go to Arbys? You might as well NOT go there and just go ahead and hit up a regular restaurant. It'll cost you about the same and the food will be better. Arbys is so damn expensive it's not even funny.
And to think, a few years ago they were super cheap. They'd even run those promotions where you could get 5 roast beef sandwiches for $5.
I used to grab a sack of 5 of them and bring them to the office for everybody.
