the very last editorial "Munchie discrimination"  is teh greatest thing that has ever graced a college paper.  I think it applies to all the franchises of said fast food restaurants.  For some reason I laughed uncontrollably.

To the editor,

In the past couple weeks I've observed two issues of forms of price discrimination against customers at campus-area fast food restaurants. All U of A Jack-in-the-Box fans, particularly J5 (sourdough jack) enthusiasts will be interested to know that anytime anybody, anywhere, buys a sourdough jack they are getting ripped off by over a dollar. Its possible to create an exact sourdough jack by ordering a jumbo jack minus the lettuce, ketchup, and pickle, but with bacon, Swiss cheese instead of regular cheese, and sourdough bread instead of a bun (free exchange). The replicated sourdough jack will cost $1.20 less to the smart population who are willing to take the extra 10 seconds to change the order.

The other issue concerns 49-cent-cheeseburger Wednesdays at McDonalds. Recently I tried to order hamburgers instead of cheeseburgers, and they wouldn't let me. So I asked for cheeseburgers without cheese and even though that usually works, this time it didn't. This situation exhibits price discrimination against people who don't like cheese or don't happen to want cheese at that time. Since the hamburger and the cheeseburger are identical otherwise, you are forced into a situation where you can pay about 20 cents less and try to take the cheese off the burger yourself. Is this effort worth 20 cents? Should you be put in such a crazy situation as a consumer?

What is secret sauce anyway?

When is In-N-Out going to come set-up at U of A?

i think this is fantastically hilarious. i am now inspired to go to cheeseburger special day and ask for cheeseburgers with no cheese.

Anybody remember that old commercial where they order a pizza, hold the sauce and crust so they just get cheese?  No?  Just me?  Okay, then.

I like how at McDonalds a cheeseburger cost more than a double cheeseburger.

[ReBurn]

At the McDonalds in my town you can't order a double hamburger.  You have to order a double cheeseburger without cheese or they don't know what you are talking about.  Once the girl behind the counter actually told me that they can't make a double hamburger, but she totally got it when I asked for a double cheeseburger with no cheese.

[Infobahn]

In all fairness to the McDonalds employees, they are told that there are "legal" things they can make, and if they do anything outside of that they can be fired.  I dated a manager, and she told me of times where secret shoppers will try and get people to go outside the menu, and when they did, those people were written up.  I'm figuring McDonalds is not going on your resume anyway, so feel free to bust the system.

that seems less unwieldly than totally recombining your Jumbo Jack.  But I dunno for 1.20 I might....

Extra dirty, dusty pickles please.

You were probably just smart enough to know that a hamburger is a cheeseburger with no cheese.
