     Before anyone can whine and cry, more than just fast food
restaurants are examined in the video. But enough are mentioned to
make it worth posting.

     Fast food isn't economical to begin with.
     Making money is necessary, of course. And with inflation hovering
around a 2.5% increase each month since January, 2025 (the rate for
May 2025 was a 2.4% increase with June's percentage not being
available as of the time I post this), it's harder to make a profit.
     The downside being that fewer people will buy fast food, causing
a greater loss in revenue. We're still paying for those stimulus
checks, and will be for some time.
     Some things are pretty much shrinkflation proof. A quarter pound
hamburger can only have so much meat removed before it can no longer
be called a quarter pound. But the level of each topping can be
reduced very easily.
     A purely hypothetical example: Four years ago you may have
received three pickles on a sandwich. But now, you may only find two.
The shrinkage in the pickle content will add up and show a significant
savings over time. The same with other condiments.
