Have you ever sat and just looked at a menu before to compare prices to themselves?...
I went to a Wendy's drive-thru with very specific instructions. I was to pick up a "single" with lettuce, tomato, and mayo only for my girlfriend's gramma (my girl was with me for this). I notice on the $0.99 value menu thing that you can get a "1/4 lb. Double Stack w/Cheese"... for 99 cents. So I get out a dollar and order the sacred "single" burger I was sent out for. "Thank you, that'll be $2.11, please pull ahead to the next window".
...$2.11?!?! :odd: Without even fries or a drink or CHEESE?!?!
And just this afternoon... I was looking through the menu from the place we were gonna order from for lunch today (at work). Whenever we go to this place, I usually get a bacon cheeseburger because it's only $2.60, and it's freakin' HUGE. I don't even need fries or chips or any sides. Just that and I'm full after lunch. I looked over more of the menu just for kicks. A grilled cheese sandwich with bacon is $2.70! WTF?! That's like charging me 10 cents for NOT having the burger part of a bacon cheeseburger. And I've seen the grilled cheese before. It's not like they're using thick slices of colby or something. They look like something I'd make at home on a budget with small cheap italian bread and one velveta square. I'll stick with my bacon cheeseburger for 10 cents less, thanks.
Anyone else ever notice something like this?
