Isn't Voralfred buying? I think I heard him say something about having the munchies. LOL.

I'll share that veggie pizza with you. Can we have artichoke hearts on it, please? And black olives? And tomatoes?

Do you really think that after paying for all that (gloop, gloop) I am munching away (yummy, yummy) I have enough left to pay for someone else's food?

Shall we ring up and say they brought the wrong ones? (The good 'ol pizza for free trick.)

Does McDonald's let you keep the wrong food (had trouble with them from time to time when I was a kid, but we always did an even exchange of the food, though it now occurs to me to wonder what they did with it)?

LOL, one of the guys I ran around with had a girlfriend that worked at McDonalds. One of the guys (close to closing) would drive thru, order a bunch of food, then drive off not to return. At closing time we'd all go in there to get her, they'd have all this "left over food" and just give it to us, presto, free food. :roll: :D

Wouldn't it be great if you could still get away with this?

Wouldn't it be bad for the economic viability of that particular store?

Doesn't the economic viability of McDonald's and its ilk depend on them overcharging people for cooked products that were actually bought really cheap?

Do the costs of hiring people to cook and serve the food, and maintaining the building offset the profit gained by overcharging the public?

Can we also factor in the cost the marking up of prices because of the brand, as one of the things the overcharged public pay for, unsuspecting or not?

Would actual numbers help this calculation, or are we better off not knowing how much we're overcharged for prepared food?

Wouldn't it be even better to take pills against seasickness and not be sick at all?

How can a person with either strong allergies or a multitude of sensitivities EVER experience a long period of not being sick?

By living in a bubble or drastically controlling the environment so that allergen producing organisms no longer exist?
