| No idea. I stopped going there when my meal was getting close to $20. Burger, fries, drink. |

No idea. I haven’t eaten there in years, but from what I remember, the food was mediocre and the prices were high as giraffe pussy back then. I never saw anyone else there the couple times I went, and I never see anyone in the parking lot when I pass by. I’m pretty sure it’s money laundering or something. |

I don't see no Americans. I see trespassers.

I have never heard that figure of speech

I went to the Fair yesterday and about stroked out at the food prices and the fact that idiots were still buying it. This old fart brought 2 ham and cheese sandwiches with him and had them against a couple bottles of water, one cold and the other one frozen. I would have loved to have bought something but when even a corn dog was $10 [and NOT a foot long either] and a small philly cheesesteak meal was $30, that isn't happening. I did buy from my local bee keeper that is there every year. His prices are the same as if you bought from his little store and are reasonable for excellent local non adulterated honey. I always get a jar of honey butter, a jar of regular, and a jar with honey and comb in it. |

IDK, but profits are up. https://investor.fivebelow.com/news/press-release-details/2026/Five-Below-Inc--Announces-First-Quarter-Fiscal-2026-Financial-Results/default.aspx Seriously. The one close to me see,s to have a decent lunch crowd. I would guess that's where they make most of their money. But as someone has already stated not, everybody is poor. |

I bought a hamburger basket and a beer, he ordered a burrito basket and a beer - $81 total. Guess a captive audience lets them get away with prices like that, next time I'll be sure to eat before I go. |

[oh, yeah, cotton candy was $8 for a small and $10 for a ''large'' which wasn't very large. We are talking maybe a few pennies of actual product here, the rest is air..............] |

The nearest one is right down the road from the indoor range I go to, unfortunately for them so is my 2nd favorite bbq restaurant, so whenever I go to the range I spend $50 on bbq afterwards
