Even the Five guys shrunk it...

[DesiPower]

Sad day in the history of burgers... They have 2 patties both used to be same size, but today i opened it up one of them was smaller than the other... have seen this trend in many other places but I was heart broken to see them doing it too... Oh well, I guess will have fill up on them fries...

I would say they're doing it in preservation of your health, but then they throw the over sized container of fries that bleeds grease through the brown paper bag they give you which you have to run out to the car before it tare through.

Chipotle*,.. and now 5 Guys,... what is this nation coming to??

*they've 1/2'ed their portions since a year or so ago.

Yea - if the bag isn't filled to the top, and the grease line isn't at the top... that's when it will be a sad day. Luckily I've only eaten there once a few years ago. My arteries have just recovered.

Yeah, I gave up and ordered my own Five Guys cooktop:

Only thing I haven't mastered is the fries...although I'm trying to replicate Chick-fil-a's waffle-cut french fries right now...

Call them out on it. Seriously contact the store or corporate, hit them up on facebook/twitter or something and see what they say. If people start calling these companies on shit like this then maybe they'll stop doing it.

Reminds me, bought some clothes, that were allegedly "new and improved" and of course were worse in every single way. Fit was woefully worse, and the fabric was blatantly worse (thinner and nowhere near as soft). Need to figure out the best place to bitch them out on it.

You just need more practice.

A regular serving of their fries has more calories than any of their burger offerings D:

Or maybe one of the patties was larger than normal.

In&Out FTW, serious bitch not to me, march up to the counter point at your burger and say, WHERES the BEEF?

Not the Chipotle around my place. Good as ever.

Pretty much corporate food policy is to offer cheap prices and coupons before or during a price increase.

When you use a BOGO Free coupon people don’t tend to notice the 15 to 20% price increase. Then after the coupons all expire, you get sticker shock from the new prices.

Or the alternative is to cut down in the quantity. Sometimes they will raise prices perhaps 10% and then cut quantity 10% too.

This is how most food restaurants raise their profits.

Fine by me, five guys sucks anyway. Its literally all grease and a little burger on the side. They might sprinkle a few granuals of taste in there somewhere, havent found that yet though. Oh, and the fries are some of the worst I have ever had. Always soggy amd tasteless.

I don't mind a greasy burger, but yeah, I've tried two different locations and both times it was far below expectations.

Boycott them! Five Guys needs to go out of business.

Now consider the average profit margin of a restaurant is 2-6%, those practices you mention are immaterial.

I seriously think some of you guys believe all businesses are just swimming in cash and every dollar of sales means 99 cents of profit.

Support local eateries, not corporate chains and you'll actually get what you paid for.

 

[rednas]

the burgers are good but overpriced.

I do this all the time but more often than not I strike out and the place mediocre at best.

If Chipotle was actually good in the first place then maybe but unfortunately it's overpriced bland food.

THIS!!!! from my experience the only people who think that chipotle is good are people who are too scared to the "other" side of town.

In&Out FTW

LOL, In&Out already has TINY patties. Guess they can't really shrink them any more than they are.

Then get a double or triple meat, still half the price of a Five Guys burger.

Many franchises are locally owned.
