See Jane Get Rich

Today, I’ve been the victim of Burger King’s “Would you like that to be a medium or large today?” second generation corporate strategy to nickel and dime its customers.

There is a Burger King on the way to school that I have been avoiding like the plague for months because fastfood is not good for me and I shouldn’t eat it often.  Second, the guy at the window always tries to flirt with me.  First, he would have this cheesy smile on his face.  I avoid looking at him.  Then when I reach for the receipt he withdraws my receipt.  I think he wants me to engage in some kind of cat and mouse game with him for the receipt and I refuse to do so.  I have on my “I am not amused” look and get away as quickly as possible. 

Since it is November and close to exam time I have been slacking on cooking.  So, I stopped by BK for a quick lunch.  I always order #4 the Jr Whopper Burger with no cheese that costs $3.99 which comes to $4.32 with taxes.   But, today the total came to be $5.04.
