Driving by 7-eleven the other morning I noticed they have a sign asking you to come see what's on their dollar menu. Dollar menu? Really? I understand the economy isn't good and many people are out of work but at what point did the dollar menu become a sales standard. What do we think we are getting for that dollar? We all know the price of all goods has gone up, so what cheap fat filled crap do we think they are putting on all these menus?
A bigger issue for me is that society in general seems determined to have dollar menus/value deals everywhere. As a pharmacist I can tell you that the $4 generic prescription plans are killing us. Why do we have to put a dollar amount out there and say this is what value is? Can't you get a great value at a dollar higher? What all these value menus seem to do is force companies into employing people at lower salaries. Would you want to get paid less so Bob next door only has to pay a dollar for each of his 7 cheeseburgers?
