$17.60 yesterday for a little cheeseburger, little fries, and the smallest drink. They should negotiate a contract that covers the full cost reimbursement instead of a set fee.

I asked a manager about it on my last visit and she said it's their new company policy/approach.
I bring the extra home, they reheat very well. Actually, I generally only eat a few at the restaurant and bring most of them home.@amyann2 wrote:

Honestly, I'm glad, because I couldn't eat an entire order of fries even at their smallest size and it's so wasteful. But their prices are ridiculous.

I thought that the cups were smaller. All of the locations I visit now line up the cups by size. That makes the small cup look even smaller. I thought that I was wrong, but now I am convinced that I was right. I am not likely to ask about the cup sizes because that would make me stand out and I don't want that.
Bad enough that I had to report In December that one of the locations had forgotten to give me the hamburger patty. Had they forgotten the fried onions, I might not have noticed, but I certainly noticed the lack of meat. They gave me a new sandwich. I reported it.
Same sized cup here, but I've noticed the extra "scoop" is smaller, which is fine with me because I only eat what's in the cup.@soonerself wrote:

I got a $21 offer for a location, but checked my old emails and had a $23 offer a couple of weeks ago.@HonnyBrown wrote:
I accepted a Samantha offer of $21 for a location that is on the board for $18. Maybe the fees are going up now?
I think the amount of extra fries is random, although it obviously shouldn't actually be. I did a delivery shop this past week and ordered a regular size Cajun fries, and I swear that I had double the amount in the bag that was in the cup. Worked out well, since we were at my daughter's house and between her, my wife and me, we ate most of them (she saved a few for lunch the next day).@KokoBWare wrote:

I don't understand what you are trying to say here. Are you saying that it's not the cup that the fries are served in that is smaller? There is no intermediate cup, there's a scoop and there's a metal tray that they use to measure the extra fries. And doing a Google search, I did not see any discussion of downsizing of fries.@soonerself wrote:
To be clear, I'm referring to the fry cups, e.g. the white cups that they stack by the fry warmer and fill with fries in your bag. They used to use the generic white water cups for the fries, but now they use a much smaller generic white cup. They still have the same old water cups too.

There's a mattress shop on the board for $25 with a MAO logo, so I submitted $35.00. Doubt I'll get it, but with gas prices the way they are now, you never know! I can't just go do a shop in a location where I have nothing else going on now, unless the price is worth it.@MsJudi wrote:
I've gotten $30 and more for the mattress shops. Try the offers. You never know.

They just went up to $25 plus MAO. The Five Guys shop that I was interested in is now gone (only one left in that town is a late-dinner shop, and it's too far away). But there's another mattress shop in a town about 10 miles away. But to do more driving to get there would cost them more! Maybe I'll give it a shot, anyway. If I could find one more shop around there, it would be worth it to do the two mattress shops for $30 each.
