The thing is they have less customers than they did in the 2000s

That's why they 5x'd the prices.

Yeah it's a game to them. If you can 2x the price and keep 70% of your customers it's worth it short term and they only care about short term. Most people I know who are fast food eaters still go even with the insane prices. A lot of people are actually spending even more to have it delivered to them.
