Am I taking crazy pills or have sandwiches/wraps/paninis/etc. practically doubled in price in just a few years?

It teaches you patience to live here. It's called island time.

That is called stupidity.

I can go to the store and make breakfast etter than McDonalds in less than an hour.

I would never wait an hour to eat breakfast (especially) anywhere in the world.
RG3, The Pope, The President, Joe Gibbs, Kobe Bryant, The Queen, Michael Jordan, and Jesus could be there....that is silly to wait at a McDonalds...but really anywhere for breakfast.

I swear I saw this earlier, but I couldn't find the thread:

Subway Sued for Deception Over Stingy Sandwiches

Give ’em an inch, they’ll take a mile; don’t give ’em an inch, they’ll take you to court.

A mere week after an irate Australian customer posted a photo on Subway’s Facebook page of one of its alleged “Footlongs” coming in at just 11 inches, two New Jersey men have filed suit against the mega fast-food chain for deception.

You knew this would happen, right?

The lawyer for the plaintiffs, Stephen DeNittis, claims that he’s had sandwiches from 17 Subway stores measured, and none of them reached the 12-inch mark. He’s also seeking class-action status for the suit, which was filed by John Farley of Evesham, NJ, and Charles Noah Pendrack of Ocean City, NJ, reports ABC News.

We’re guessing it’s not going to be too hard to find plaintiffs who have ever ordered a “Footlong.”

Making matters worse, Subway seems to have completely bumbled its response to a collective outrage that appears to be growing by the tweet. At first there was some cockamamie explanation about bread shrinking when it’s baked, then Subway’s Australian subsidiary posted this on its own Facebook page, according to ABC: “‘SUBWAY FOOTLONG’ is a registered trademark as a descriptive name for the sub sold in Subway Restaurants and not intended to be a measurement of length.”

Needless to say, that sterling example of corporate equivocation was taken down almost as soon as it went up.

The New York Post conducted its own “investigation” (there’s one for the Pulitzer Prize committee to consider). It found that “four out of seven Footlongs—purchased at Subway locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens—measured only 11 or 11.5 inches.” An anonymous franchise owner tells the paper that the amount of meat on the subs has also shrunk by 25 percent in the past few months, owing to rising costs.

Unscientific, but here's my explanation:

1. High debt = weak dollar
2. Weak dollar = high oil price
3. High oil price = high production and delivery costs
4. High production and delivery costs = high retail costs

What you're seeing is real inflation and this is one example of why inflation sucks.

Remember when McDonald's did 29 cent cheeseburgers? Seems like that wa 10-12 years ago

Also I think a lot of chain restaurant prices have move recently because of the dominance and now monopoly by Sysco Systems

I remember that. We went there with our football team and had a great time. haha

Yesterday I went to a local coffee shop and payed $9 for a chicken salad sandwich. I assume the chicken was raised in-house, on a diet of champagne and truffles.
