Mcdonald's has never once asked me about a tip. not sure I can say that about any other place. Also been a long time since an ice cream machine was out of order.

Shake Shack is full of shite. Like their computer system did that all on its own.

That’s when I cancel the whole order and go to the fast food joint next door.

That is extremely fricked up. It's like a socialist program and forced indoctrination of folks who just want a shack burger, crinkle cut fries, and a vanilla shake.

frick that company. Never eating there again.

Everything is more expensive at the airports.

Not saying shake shack is innocent but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if an airport was caught doing stuff like this

It feels like people have forgot how a free market works.

I fear it's going to get much worse as well.

Wait until AI can do on demand pricing. Knowing based off your purchase history how much you are willing to spend.

You'll never get a "deal" again. I can see it now. You see an airline deal for a one way trip for $100. You go to their website and log in and suddenly it's $150 as the AI will determine you'll still pay it.

Never mind social credit and race based pricing. You're a black person making $60,000/year, that burger will be $4. You're a white person making $100,000/year, that same burger is $8. You make more than $200,000/year, that same burger is $15. It'll be a way for them to redistribute wealth as well.

The goal seems to be just to price the lower and middle class (what's left of it) out of just about anything.

Why are they asking for a tip when you order on a kiosk and throw away your own garbage?

$20 for 3 shakes?

I made 2 quarts of homemade vanilla ice cream in an electric churn from 1979 Friday for my kid’s pool party. Ingredients might have been the cost of one of those shakes.

I wish they would have shown the same order with a tip included to see if the price change still happened.

Too bad. Shack burger with cherry peppers is the bomb. Also, the fries.

PF Changs give me tipping options of:


20%
25%
And 30 frikn%

On shitty service with overpriced food.

I did the math and did a STILL undeserved ~15%.
