I was at Mickey D's this morning. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit which is priced on the board at 1.79. My total for the 1.79 item came to 2.36.
Okay I have my receipt so let's itemize shall we?
1 Saus Egg Chs Biscuit..... 1.95. Okay the sign said 1.79. Well okay maybe a misprint or slight error. No big deal.
Eat In Tax...... .12. Eat in tax is apparently twice as much as normal sales tax. Well you know the economy is slow.
Total..... 2.07. Then why did I pay 2.36? I guess my intellect and formal education doesn't extend to fast food economics. Maybe it's to make up for the lack of supersized fries.

Food taxes are more expensive than sales tax in many areas. When I worked at Starbucks we were required to add a restaurant tax any time someone ordered a drink and a food item. Therefore, if you ordered coffee and a bagel it was more expensive than ordering coffee, realizing you were hungry, and jumping back in line for the bagel. Weird, huh?

Mickey D's sucks ass in all aspects. I've gotten sick from their food enough times that I don't eat there at all for any reason. Those damn Egg McMuffins really stick with you too. Eat one at 8am and you'll be belching a burning sausage flavor till at least 2pm.

all this says to me is that you need to pay more attention to what they're ringing up your stuff before you pay. i mean they have pictures of the food on the keys in some of the resteraunts so the employees no which buttons to push. do you really think that they're going to pay attention to your total or just say whatever the screen tells them to say?

and i like breakfast pancakes at mcdonalds slathered with butter and the sauges with the syrup poured on it is heavenly to me first thing in the morning.

Hah, they just released that their stupid chicken ceasar salad invention that is supposed to be "healthy" has actually more fat in it than a straight up cheeseburger there.

Shocking, really.

Mickey D's breakfast is delicious. It's just like a normal breakfast, except everything is soaked in butter, even the sausages.

I have never eaten a McDonald's breakfast in my life.

Is that 'sausage' thing actually a burger? It certainly looks like one in the photos...

I don't know if it's just because that burger always looks so good or if it's the bloodshed, but that scene always makes me hungry...

You're all blasphemers. McDonald's breakfast has excellent hp and shield restoring properties, and their coffee is a well known vitality potion in certain circles. Back off my Egg McMuffins.
