For me it was when meal combos hit double digits. I understand prices in western economies will always increase due to inflation, but just seeing two digits reminded me that fast food is overpriced for what it is and it isn't even fast anymore.
For nearly the same price I can get take home from a regular restaurant that will end up being three meals that will taste better and pick it up faster than going through a drive through.
Granted where I live there are tons of food options, but that's the part that gets me, how much they've gone up in price compared to other places. I probably would have glossed over the price increase as just inflation if they didn't start costing as much as local spots but you get worse food
