Fastfood.
TomahawkLabs:
The biggest issue I see with the current format of restaurants is the profit collectors of the establishments do not work in the restaurant in any meaningful capacity. We allow for our local money to be sent to Johnny Entrepreneur rather than Dave from Dave's Pizza. Who lives and works in the restaurant they own.
The idea of "passive income" is inherently flawed. The idea that anyone should be able to extract the profits from the fruits of other's labor without also contributing to the goal themselves is akin to theft. This idea that people should not have to work and they should just own business and get people to do their work for them so they can be lazy and gluttonous.
Shop local. Find out who owns the businesses where you shop and pick establishments that don't just export your money to a random millionaire who sees a restaurant as a series of numbers on a spreadsheet. The people, the service, the food do not matter so long as there is profit to be had.

Only ever get fast food when I'm with friends or something, never on my own. It's convenient but absurdly expensive, I can eat a week off the money for the cost of one pizza.

Casually eating 6 bowls of rice is a patented tp4 power move

They raised prices across the board accepting lower volume, but that's snapping back, so expect some price drops.
That said, the situation just puts into perspective, if anything under capitalism, "makes" a profit, someone is getting screwed/ overcharged.
Profit is theft.
