An Arm and a (Chicken) Leg
The following thought occurred to me the other day......Of course, I, of analytical and mathematical mind, find this fact quite disturbing. So much so, I'm thinking of packing my bags and taking my campaign on the road!!!!
Why is it that retail food establishments delight in charging for extra insert condiment or topping here, yet this very premise won't allow them to DISCOUNT me if I leave stuff off??
I understand the principle....If my burrito at Taco Bell is supposed to have a scoop of beans, a scoop of beef, a tong-full of tomatoes, and a squirt of sour cream, and I ask for EXTRA beef, then my choice is effectively costing them more money. No prob.
So, why can't I get a discount for leaving OFF what you would gladly charge me EXTRA for? If I say, "No beans, extra beef," wouldn't that be a push?? Maybe if you didn't have to buy so much sauce because your $6/hour drive-thru cashier gives 32 packets of sauce to people with two tacos and cinnamon crisps, you would see my point. But oh well.
Just charge me my $.30 extra and give me my drink cup, and I'll be out of your way.

Hahahahahahaha! Silly customer, give us your money and accept our grade D beef, then step away for the next customer. I said, Good Day, Sir, and don't make me get my manager!
