Well obviously enough people are buying burgers at those prices, otherwise restsurants wouldn't be able to charge those prices.
It's kinda like with lootboxes, feels like everyone hates them, but they must get purchased a lot, otherwise they wouldn't be so ubiquitous.
Kinda makes me wonder how many people are really affected by the cost of living crisis, or do people simply buy things no matter the pricetag and that NOT purchasing something is simply NOT something that crosses their minds?
