I had a decent dollar slice just last week, on 42nd St, on the far west side. Wasn't that bad.
But I've always wondered about the 99 cent thing -- why do they never give you a penny back?
My personal theory is that they will say the penny is for the paper plate they hand you. I have this picture of someone demanding their penny, and them saying, "okay put out your hands, here's your slice" ...and then "here's your penny" --- only the customer now has their hands busy with that slice, so they say "keep it." -and Mr. Pizzeria snickers, knowing he keeps the penny and the plate!
come on now
everybody knows .99 is a marketing pysch thing. For the slice they are just screwing you out of the penny on purpose but pretty much nobody cares. If you want the penny ask for the penny but come on now
That's fair given a decade of inflationary governmental profligacy to artificially pump up stock and real estate prices. The FED forgot their primary mission was to stabilize the CURRENCY.
I will have no problem paying $1.25 for the hundred things I buy there.
My problem with Dollar Tree is not price increase, but the lack of stock. Last week I went for 4 items, NONE of which were in stock. Nevertheless, I spent $23 on stuff I didn't need and shouldn't have bought, mostly junk food.
I think Dollar Tree will not be with us very much longer. Pity.
