I think I just witnessed the eventual demise of a certain fast food chain. I know we’re all trying to cut costs and save where we can, but seriously?
This afternoon I went through the drive-through at a certain local fast food chain. When I asked the kind lady taking my money and passing my food through a hole in the side of the wall, I asked for a cup of barbecue dipping sauce.
“That’ll be $0.25,” she said in a semi-joking manner.
“Yeah, just put it on my tab,” I quipped in a like manner.
“No, seriously. If you didn’t order chicken strips or something that logically accompanies your order, we have to charge $0.25.”
“Yabba-dabba what?! Well, Nevermind, I guess my fries aren’t dippable enough. Thanks anyway.”
So, THAT’S where they’re going to overcome their losses – charging a quarter for 2 oz of barbecue sauce? Sign of the apocalypse.
