Free breakfast burrito (10/22)

[Shane]

Lets say you go into Wendy's but you are going there for a coffee, instead of the burrito. You are paying full price for that coffee. The cashier then says that you have try the free burrito because they bought one. Nothing extra is coming out of the consumer's pocket.

Yes, Wendy's will try to help pay for the cost of the burrito by eating the profit that they would have received on the drink, but that doesn't mean that the burrito isn't free to the consumer. It means that the profit margin for Wendys will be changed. I don't think that anyone is debating that the preparation of the burrito costs Wendy's something.



:dcr:

Then that guy walking in there would have lucked out and got an additional burrito at the cost of his coffee. However he had to buy the coffee to get offered that. So it still isnt free.

The breakfast burrito from Wendy's that I am thinking of costs 99 cents (when it is not being given away upon purchase of a beverage). Who even cares?

 

[Mulli]

We win!

I think it is funniest that we are arguing about this, when none of us got the free burrito.

What free burrito?

 

[Shane]

What free burrito?

I dont think he gets it?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

What free burrito?

I tried explaining it. You couldn't keep up.

 

[Mulli]

DCR, do we need to go over this again?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

DCR, do we need to go over this again?

Sure. The only thing that you clarified is that the burrito doesn't cost $3, it costs 99c.

Congrats Mulli. You won a free car! Go pick it up at the dealership. Just sign some forms.

"No way, I have to pay for the gas to drive down to the dealership. This car isn't free."

That's all you got?

 

[Mulli]

That is enough.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

That is enough.

Who cares how much it costs Wendys to make the burrito, or how much profit that they will get from selling you a soda?

Talk about answering the question with deflection.

You guys are like Sarah Palin.

Uh, I can't remember mentioning those things?

Seems like you are using deflection with you outlandish analogies about car dealerships.

I was just saying it is a crap burrito anyway.

You did say that the burrito was meh, but then you agreed with Shane. You took his position.

You sound really upset. We should drop it.

There is no such thing as free. Ever.

Arguing with DCR for no reason is fun and free. I usually agree with him in secret.

Nope. It usually costs someone their sanity.
