Why do they give you so much fries. How can they afford to do this?

>>8934582
by overpricing all of their food?

>>8934582
5 guys fucking SUCKS

$15 for a cheeseburger and burnt fries? fuck that
>but you get free peanuts
who the fuck CARES. peanuts do not go with a burger and fries

>>8934591
You eat them before your food you dip

You do know how cheap potatoes actually are, right? Fast food places probably make 5 figure markups on fries.

>>8934591
I like how the price gets higher every time somebody posts about 5 guys.
$9 for a good bacon cheeseburger, a goddamn sack full of fries, and a soda is a perfectly reasonable price.

>>8934595
its FAST FOOD. you should not have to wait so long that you would want peanuts before you get your food
>>8934600
and which flyover state are you from? here where people live its $15. meanwhile you can get as much (and better quality) food from in n out for $7.35

>>8934622
If they live in a flyover state why would they go to either when they can just go to whataburger?

>>8934622
Don't lash out at me because you decided to live in some shithole where a gallon of milk is $4

>>8934644
how the fuck should i know? just a bacon cheeseburger is $8.86 in fucking Iowa according to fastfoodmenuprices

im not sure where the hell this guy lives where a bacon cheeseburger and fries are $9 but it cant be anywhere with a significant population

>>8934657
You're a retard, a bacon cheeseburger fries and drink is way more than $9 and I live in fucking Nebraska, flyover central

>how can they afford to give you literally worthless mounds of potato

It's like you fucks have never even been to a store and just butch about prices you read online. Average price for a decent burger here is $6-17, depending on where you go and how big you want it. Depending on the time of day, the GC's near me will give you more food for cheaper prices.

A big ass burger for less than $10 with enough fries to kill a man for less than $5? Yes please.

>>8934582

more over, how the fuck do they get the salt to stick to the fries?
someone pls answer

Because yoi're paying six dollars for something that's worth about 10 cents.

I live in flyover land its still a rip-off

The burger alone is $8.69
Medium fry is $4.19
Small drink $2.39

Their fires are just greasy, soggy pieces of potato, giving them away is probably all they can do to get rid of them.

>>8934591

Do you live in San Francisco or Manhattan or something? A Five Guys burger, fries and drink is under $10 where I live.

The bacon cheeseburger is $10 in Minnesota. With fries and drink it's over $15. I can get a Culvers bacon deluxe TRIPLE with all the toppings fries and drink for $10 and it tastes better and all ingredients are fresh. And that is more food than I can eat.

You've never been to Five Guys in your life, have you?

>>8934595
How fucking long are you people waiting for your food? I've been to Five Guys once and my meal was ready in under 5 minutes. That's hardly enough time to sit down and start eating peanuts right before a burger and fries.

so you think eating fries is some sort of reward? You should not eat fries, or burgers for that matter. Both are terrible for you.

>>8935077
>Regular Drink $2.29
>Large Drink $2.39

>>8934998
A large fry alone is enough fries for like 4 people and I never get the double patty if I'm getting fries

Five Guys tastes like shit my neighbor made on the grill - which is fine, but the bun is mashed up, the toppings aren't all that spectacular, it takes longer than everywhere else, and they give you a shitton of fries, but let's be honest, you can buy a sack of potatoes for less than you pay for their fries.

Everywhere else is cheaper for a faster burger.

>>8934582
Five Goys is a gucking rip off. Wendy's is unironically cheaper and better

They've got a few of these in Glasgow now, but fuck me it's expensive. £14 for a large bacon cheeseburger, regular cajun fries, and a drink. Holy shit. It's good, but it's not THAT good.

>>8935691
>t. sushicuck

>>8938139
Yeah but then you have a boring steak and some bland veggies. Not a glorious juicy burger and hot salty fries

Their whole business model is essentially forcing you to buy a super sized meal. You can't say it's overpriced because you get a fuck ton of food, but you didn't event want that much food in the first place.

Kind of disgusted at the amount of people that actually get drinks when they order fast food.

Save yourself the $2+ and the shit ton of calories and bring a bottle of water with you wherever you go

Only thing I can think of is if you are super rich and can afford to take advantage of it otherwise you are just some pace of shit paying out the ass for everything and having somekind of weird Stockholm syndrome bragging about city life.

I worked there. Manager once told me they don't make money on the burgers for how much effort and employee pay it takes to make them. something like 60-70% of their revenue is from fries and drinks (and maybe shakes now)

Just ask for "well done fries"...something I often order.

Dunno if you're talking Five Guys, but if you are, then you should get your order, and right away tear open that bag on your table, and let the cool and give up their fat to the big tarp of brown paper bag, without trapping the steam into the bag to enjoy later. Enjoy immediately!

five guys fries are literally the worst fast food fries of any chain, and the fact that you get a lot of them with your $15 fast food meal does not make them good

you mean the vegetable that costs less than $0.10/lb?

They're in the UK now and I don't get why it's so popular. Way too expensive far fast food and barely any better than McDonalds.

You can tell who the people who haven't even gone there are easily because they complain about the 'small fries.' The fries they give you is more than any other fast food place's large order. If you order a large at Five Guys god forbid, they pretty much fill up an entire brown paper bag of fries.

While they don't do a particularly great rendition of them do people actually dislike the freshly pealed, skin on variety? I'm sure your local 5 guys might do them poorly but that's obviously the most superior method to cook fries and I'm always disappointed when a place doesn't serve them that way as shown.
