One can get burgers for a buck, and supersized, biggie sized burger
meals for 4-5 bucks. Why are salads at those places 5 dollars? When
did lettuce become so expensive? They got their priorities all wrong.

Sorry, but you are confused. Priorities are just the way they think it
should be. As long as people are willing to pay $5, they will charge that
much.They don't make much profit on 99¢ burgers, but they make a bundle on
soft drinks and salads.
