    Easy way to lose customers.

    It’s never going to get cheaper than it is currently.

    If I don’t know what it costs, how can I budget for it? If I can’t budget for it I’m not going to drive over to check out the prices, fuel “fluctuations” have seen to that.

    If anything shouldn’t they be charging more during the slower hours?

      Basic supply and demand economics. When supply is high and demand is low, prices fall. When demand is high and supply is low, prices rise. They think people will willingly sit in line regardless of the price because, in reality, people have.

      Conversely, they wouldn’t want to drive people away when business is slow and can easily jump into another drive thru.

        Food is a very price sensetive industry. If you rip someone off after making them wait they’ll go elsewhere and never come back

          This is how I act, I don’t complain, I leave a poison review and then never go back. Sometimes I tell people about it for years.

            Exactly, I hold grudges against food places for years. Conversely, I’ll frequent good places for just as long.

            It never has to go long for non-chain places. They always go out of business so we can’t be the only ones. I bet this is really common.
