re: "and just getting a beverage while dining out is up to $2.50. That is their biggest profit margin item of all time."
Yep, I've noticed that. I've told my son that if he orders water instead of a soda when we eat out, I'll pay him the price of the soda. I figure it's a win/win/win. I get him to drink less soda / I don't have to tip based on the price of the drink / He makes a little money.
The only time I buy drinks anymore is at fast food joints. If I'm eating in, I'll get a value soda (usually $1.19) and have a lot of refills. If it's to go and I'm at McDonalds, I get a $1.00 iced tea. It's huge, as good as a soda, and less expensive than even their smallest.
Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months |
