      Looks like we’re seeing quite a few recessionary signals. ATHs here we come!

      Are they stupid? Why would they name it Shake Shack if it’s a burger place?

      Burgers are low brow, for many reasons. Whoever thought they could build a national entity around premium burgers is an idiot

      A burger for 100k is probably the problem like why do I have to get a heloc to afford to eat there

      It is $8 for a milkshake, $6 for small fries and $14 for a tiny burger, no wonder they’re losing business.

      this one time i tried their “shack stack” and felt personally betrayed by a burger lmao

      I blame the Mike Vrabel / Dianna Russini affair. Russini’s husband is an executive at Shake Shack, and couldn’t focus with all of the news coverage.

      I do like shake shack but I feel it’s overpriced and most of the places I have visited are often dirty

      I just did this to see

      A single patty cheeseburger, cheese fries, and a small vanilla shake (without whipped cream) comes to a total of $18.98

      Change that single patty cheeseburger to a double patty bacon cheeseburger, and you’re now up to $23.48

      For those not following, that’s an extra $4.50 for just a thin beef patty and 2 pieces of sad bacon.

      Their food tastes good, but it’s also a fucking rip off.

      CEO is too busy hiring private I’s to follow his wife and mike Vrabel.

      Not hard to imagine when it’s damn near 20 bucks a person to eat there

    12. Burgers are delicious but the experience is absolute ass. I hate placing my own order on a touch screen because they have the balls to ask for a tip. The chairs are uncomfortable due to their tilt, the tables are tiny, the decor is prison-like minimalistic so the inside ends up loud as fuck due to all the sound reflections. All of these chains that make it terrible to dine in need to go under.

    13. Goddamn… that’s a pretty fucking good milkshake. I don’t know if it’s worth eight dollars, but it’s pretty fucking good.

      Shake Shack is delicious but, when your portions are small, inconsistent, and expensive, you lose your customer base and bankruptcy follows.
