When we first went to Taco Bell about 7 years ago and up until about a year ago, soft tacos were a dollar apiece and a senior drink was free and usually there would only be a couple of tables occupied. So for $5 we had a nice quick lunch. For the past year or so, the same meal is now about $9.50 The tacos are now $1.29 and the drinks are $1.50 apiece and yet, when we went just last week for lunch, almost every table was occupied and about 10 people in line to order and the drive-thru was just as busy.

As far as not eating somewhere, I have not eaten or been inside a Wendys since 2011 when we moved here. What happens is anytime I'm over that way and want something fast, Jersey Mike's gets in the way.
I had Jersey Mike's for dinner tonight -- stopped on the way there just before choir rehearsal. I usually get the #9 Club Supreme on rosemary parmesan bread. I now have enough points to get a free sub the next time I stop there.
