'Fast food is becoming a luxury': Five Guys criticized after receipt goes viral

(NEXSTAR) – Some social media users are criticizing Five Guys for its menu prices after a $24 receipt went viral on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

On March 1, an account named Wall Street Silver posted an image of the receipt, allegedly taken from Reddit, alongside the caption: "Five Guys prices are out of control. $24 for one person."

The receipt shows the customer paid $12.49 for a bacon cheeseburger, $2.89 for a regular soda, and $5.19 for a small fry. After tax and a $2.19 tip, the total amounted to $24.10. It's unclear, however, when the meal was purchased, or where.
