Around The -Ists This Week


Except the 2-4-1 Satellite Burgers aren't totally "2 burgers for the price of 1", because they won't sell one person two burgers - you can only get the 2-4-1 if there are two of you sitting at the table.
Because (according to one waitress) the only reason they even offer it is in order to upsell on drinks, and evidentally (according to their logic) one person can't drink as much as two people.
Of course, this doesn't take into account scenarios such as two people coming in, ordering the 2-4-1 burgers, and NOT order anything at all to drink, which sort of blows their grand scheme completely out of the water so-to-speak, but what-the-hey.
