A woman has slammed Five Guys after her bill came to $74 - proving that fast food doesn't necessarily mean cheap food!
We all have our favorite fast-food outlets, and we would be lying if we said we didn't indulge in them more than we probably should... But is there a limit on how much we'd be willing to spend on our favorite food before it borders into the price range of fine dining?
Well, one woman has taken to TikTok to share the pretty hefty bill she received at Five Guys, for what is a fairly straightforward order.
TikToker @retailcheapskate shared the bill in a now-viral video that has been seen over 2 million times and dubbed the final cost as "highway robbery", as her order came to $74.10.
The video is overlaid with text that reads: "WHEN DID FIVE GUYS BECOME A FIVE STAR RESTAURANT?! This is four hamburgers, two fries and drinks."
It seems that the video divided viewers, with some being completely outraged at the cost of the burgers, with others appearing to defend the fast food chain.
One person said: "We actually had to stop eating there because it is too expensive for our family of four," and a second added: "Just a burger, small fries and small drink add to over $20. I will never go there again."
A third person defended the price: "You are paying fresh high-quality beef, never frozen, a very large burger, very large fresh cut fries. Food costs have gone up about 30%."
A fourth said: "You got 4 burgers, one with an extra patty, 4 drinks and 2 fries. They GIVE BIG on the fries too. Cost seems right to me."
A fifth person questioned the amount of tip: "The real tragedy is the 5% tip on a relatively large order. Buying dinner out is expensive at most places these days."
Other people questioned why the woman didn't know the prices before ordering as they are usually displayed above the counter.
$74 seems steep for what is seen as fast food, but as people have commented, the cost of living is continuing to rise, and the order appeared bigger than the TikToker let on.
What do you think about the price? Let us know in the comments!
