Sean,

 di> I love it but $10+ for a sandwich, fries, and a drink has turned CFA
 di> into a luxury for me.

  That's the same with everything. Even though I can get free delivery
with Grubhub (part of being a subscriber to Lyft Pink), I can only use
them once a month for a treat. What I get on disability doesn't go very
far.

  The last time I used Grubhub, I ordered from an area Burger King, 2 
of the American Chicken sandwiches (with the "original" chicken patty 
(I was working for them when it first came out), with mayonnaise, 
lettuce, and tomato...plus two 16 piece orders of their chicken nuggets 
(original flavor), and plenty of BBQ sauce for dipping.

  The total cost, with a tip for the driver, was around $30, but it was
cheaper than ordering stuff from a nearby Wendy's, or at Slim Chickens.
I discovered it was cheaper to make my own beverage (Kool-Aid via the
powdered drink mix from either Kroger or Wal-Mart) than to order it.
The last time I ordered from Wendy's, they didn't put the drink in a
separate sack in the big bag, and it tipped over, soaking the food.

  Many times when I worked at Burger King, I was the only white guy
on the crew, but we had a ball. One of my fellow cashiers, George
Williams, called out over the microphone one shift "Chicken...make it 
all white meat" (which it was)...and all of us busted out laughing. <G>

  Some items that were on their menu years ago, are gone...such as:

1) Roast Beef sandwich (I guess one has to go to Arby's for that). I
think it had either mayonnaise or BBQ sauce, but I'm not sure.

2) Yumbo (hot ham and cheese sandwich).

3) Ham And Cheese (with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato), served cold.
For that now, I guess you have to go to Subway.

4) Veal Parmagian Sandwich, with marinara sauce and mozarella cheese.

5) Whaler (their original fish sandwich).

  I really do love their mayonnaise...I was never one for sandwiches
with mustard.

  Also, when I was working there from 1979 to 1984, a Whopper was $1.11
plus tax...now, it's over $5...and higher if you order through the app,
or at a restaurant at an airport (it's at least $10, but likely more). 
So, one is left with a penny...a dollar with all the taxes taken out. 

  Their burgers are flame broiled, and not swimming in grease, like at
Wendy's, McDonald's, etc. But, it can give your acid reflux fits, if
you don't take medication for it.

  I still remember one of their old commercials years ago, which had
the character from "Car 54, Where Are You??", who always said "Oo...Oo".
It wasn't Fred Gwynne, who played "Herman Munster" on "The Munsters",
but the other guy, and his name escapes me.

  The last part of the commercial (at least 50 years ago now), said "So,
when you're looking for great food, fast service, and low, low prices...
Look for the sign with the King On The Bun, where the prices are nice,
and the eating is fun. Burger King -- Home Of The Whopper (R). A real
nice place to eat". I never thought I'd be working there...but I put
myself through college, taking 18 credit hours, and working 40 hours
a week.

  As for Lyft Pink, since I had to give up driving last June, and sell
my car...due to dry corneas causing my vision to blur without warning,
making it too dangerous to drive...I now take Lyft out twice a month
to go to the Post Office Box to get mail. Otherwise, I'm home 24/7,
but get groceries and medications delivered. The worst part is if I'm
expecting delivery of something else, that I have to wait here all day 
for the truck to show up. 

  I originally used Uber, but they frauded my debit card last spring, 
when I had to take an ambulance to the local Emergency Room (I ended 
up getting diagnosed with congestive heart failure)...and nearly 
couldn't get home from the Emergency Room. 

  With Lyft Pink, it's $10 extra a month, but I get a break on pricing
for the rides, priority pickup, and if I have to cancel a ride (the
vehicle was a high pickup truck, where the step was at the height of
my groin, and I couldn't get into it), they would cover the $5 fee
for cancellation, and if I booked a new ride within 15 minutes, they
would knock $5 off that fee. I normally tip the driver $5 each run,
as they're running all over the place with rides. 

  While I lost my independence in selling the car, I no longer have
any of the car related expenses (gasoline, insurance, license tags,
personal property tax, repairs, etc.)...and that was easily over
$1000 a year.

  At least with my Medicare HMO, with 3 days notice, I can get
transportation to and from medical facilities for appointments.
