I walked into work a couple of weeks ago and quickly learned that we would be getting a lot of new salads and sandwiches, mainly to attract a lunch crowd. The new items looked great and tasted good as well- and then the news came. We would be featuring these new additions for the cheap price of $5 for a limited time.
While this is a great marketing technique, it is putting a hole in my pocket. Bills are now cut in half, which means my tips decline by a lot. Seriously though, if someone wants a $5 meal, don't they usually go to McDonald's or Panera?
I think that it is a waste of time and work for the servers to be serving someone who is eating for so cheap. Don't get me wrong, everyone should be able to enjoy the luxury of sit-down dining. Filling up my four-top booth for an hour with the bill being only $35 is a waste and unfair to me.
Until this limited time offer expires, I will continue to be hurting for cash. I am optimistic that when it ends, people will come back, despite the increase in prices on the food that they have come to enjoy.
