What will happen to the $.99 menus in ten years?

[Shawn]

It'll be the 9.99 meal.

 

[glugglug]

It'll be the $99 meal. Only way to maintain deficit.

 

[mooncancook]

they'll move the decimal place one place to the right.

if our wages could keep up with inflation then it'll be alright... but damn capitalism... the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.

I was just at a Burger King and I asked for small fries.
I was told that they didn't have small fries any more, only medium, large and jumbo (or some such).

Fast food have the lowest profit margin and the $1 stuff does not help one bit.
If all the fast food chains decide to get rid of all the $1 stuff at the same time, they would do it in a heart beat.

i think mcdonald's new $ menu was responsible for a 33% decrease in profits or something like that
