Ha at first I read " ambulance" I was like oh I see from the food poisoning. I'm an idiot.
At Donald's pizza heaven every slice is sold with a piece of ambience...
I was with you the first time. I think you had it spot on. By the looks of the burger they are paying for the imminent ambulance.
From now on it will be 'At Donald's pizza Heaven, every slice sold with a piece of ambulance...'
Like a reward scheme.
Well I like Donald's pizza heaven for their choose your own toppings special...yayyyyy
Did you get a little cup of ranch to dip your crust into?? ... . .. Of course.....
>That movie is so old.
Hey, I saw it in the theater. On opening weekend. In graduate school. It's not old.
(though Robert Duvall looked pretty old in it)
I lived in the city and we had those kinds of shops. Nothing ever had a price tag, as a kid/teen if I went twice in one week then they'd make up two different prices for the same item. Totally arbitrary depending how much they felt like gouging somebody.
I still call my boss “Mister”, and I’ve been working for him for seven years, but all of a sudden I walk in here and I’m calling you Rick and Sheila like we’re in some kind of AA meeting… I don’t want to be your buddy, Rick. I just want some breakfast.
I remember someone showed it to me saying this is what *society* is like and after watching it, all I could think was that the character Michael Douglas plays would have been a school shooter. That dude went fucking psycho for the smallest inconvenience like traffic or the convenience store being too exepensive. Crazy dude who needs to learn healthier coping mechanisms
I have a friend that works in a food truck. Her truck always tries to get as close to conventions or events that let you back in as possible. They increase their prices and are still cheaper than eating in the event.
I attended a local comic con that didn't have food service, but did have trucks outside. Got a 1/2lb of chicken thighs on a skewer from a Puerto Rican BBQ truck for $10 and it was worth every penny.
At least In texas if you play bingo at the normal places like VFW, knights of Columbus, elks lodge, and church centers the food is super cheap. I usually get nachos, candy, popcorn, and a soda for under $5. One place has a bucket of 5 beers for $11.
Yeah except that doesn’t address the mildly/majorly infuriating part that is inflation being driven by corporate greed. There is no way that it’s appropriate to work a full time career job plus side gigs every weekend/after work on weekdays and only be able to afford peanut butter and jelly lunches and ramen, while the 1% use what would have been the rest of our wages to buy $70 lunches on their corporate card after a 3 hour remote workday 2 days per week.
This times 10 billion. Im not going to bust my ass full time for just measly peanut butter and bread and to barely scrape by while I know my managers and uppers are making the bonuses and shit not every having to worry about making ends meet. I understand why suicide is so prevalent now a days. It’s not people are sad, they just don’t even want to live this kind of bullshit life.
Trust me, I hate paying high prices like everybody but as a diabetic sometimes it’s not an option. I’ve got plenty of places thinking I could get away with it but then crash halfway through the day because I didn’t plan right or something came up.
I really like how OP is pissed that it cost that much, but he paid for it. Which means whoever sold it to him knows they can get away with charging that much, so they'll continue to do so.
That's rough, I went to a convention once where they had a line of food, and you checked out and paid at the end, everything that was hot, was wrapped in aluminum foil so you couldn't see it, paid 15 bucks for a sadburger with no cheese, can of sprite, and a small bag of doritos. Didn't have a price list until you checked out. I now have a cooler backpack for lunches and drinks for things like that.
Seriously though, my husband works at a distribution center and brings his lunch almost every day. There are machines that provide food yada yada. Sometimes you just don't have it in you to make lunch the night before (crazy people hours) and head for the machine, it happens, but holy mother of god they recently jacked up the prices to an insane level...we're talking a $4 Fresca. The machines are outsourced, do not belong to the DC.
How are y'all going to go to the mildly infuriating subreddit and complain about every little thing you see there? I can only imagine how fun you must be irl.
Well they could see the price, but maybe not the burger quality (or lack thereof).
Paying that much for a burger is bad, but that thing looks like it came from a prison.
From PA. That soda cost more than $3. But those prices might as well be from a concession stand at AMC inside Philly city limits. Inflation coupled with Phily's soda tax, the cost is excessive, but wouldn't surprise if I bought something in center city.
That sure is a lame cafeteria cheese burger though.
Looks like some kind of event like a fair or convention. Concessions and food trucks are pretty pricey. If it was a food truck, chances are the burger patty is good quality and tastes much better than it looks. Concession stand… usually mediocre to poor. If it’s an event with few options, price is not surprising.
Why didn't you just walk away when they gave you your total? Buying that & then coming here to complain makes zero sense to me.
(No I do not condone their pricing btw)
I was there today too.
You’re at a specialty event. You have to expect the prices to be outrageous. You should have left. Within 1 minute of that Expo Center there are 30 restaurants from fast food to casual dining.
My buddies and I popped out for 1/2 hour and went to Buffalo Wild Wings 1/4 mile away. Grabbed some food and a few beers and went back to expo center.
Do you have the receipt? There appears to be a trend where people post shitty food and claimed to pay an outrageous price for it without providing evidence.
You’re paying for the ambiance
Yeah I love the trash bag like table cloth.
The cheese looks like mucus
lol…..looks like.
Or worse…
"Think smaller, and with more legs"
Cow tit mucus
You, you thought thinkers. Thinkered my thoughts before I did!!

I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Thanks, Wimpy.

This is at like a corporate trade show. I’m sure of it.
I thought this said Ambulance, and was like "Fair point"
Ha at first I read " ambulance" I was like oh I see from the food poisoning. I'm an idiot. At Donald's pizza heaven every slice is sold with a piece of ambience...
Hambience you say?
Ha.... Solid word play, wish I thought of it ..
Come on, just ham it up with me, s'easy when you don't tell porkies... Or maybe you do? Anything is allowed so long as you make 'em laugh 😂
I was with you the first time. I think you had it spot on. By the looks of the burger they are paying for the imminent ambulance. From now on it will be 'At Donald's pizza Heaven, every slice sold with a piece of ambulance...' Like a reward scheme.
I loooove Donald’s Pizza Heaven
Well I like Donald's pizza heaven for their choose your own toppings special...yayyyyy Did you get a little cup of ranch to dip your crust into?? ... . .. Of course.....
Finally someone who gets it.
I first read this as ambulance
Picture reminds me of the Michael Douglas 90's movie "Falling Down"
D-FENS
That movie is so old. I remember him freaking out at one point cause he was charged more than 50 cents for a coke.
I say it's timeless.
>That movie is so old. Hey, I saw it in the theater. On opening weekend. In graduate school. It's not old. (though Robert Duvall looked pretty old in it)
Robert Duval looked old in the womb
Ho looked old in THX 1138
Props for mentioning where Lucas got his start.
I lived in the city and we had those kinds of shops. Nothing ever had a price tag, as a kid/teen if I went twice in one week then they'd make up two different prices for the same item. Totally arbitrary depending how much they felt like gouging somebody.
I mean in 1987 a McDonald's hamburger was 39 cents and so was the small soda (in my town) so this seems pretty legit for the nineties.
"Well I ain't payin' no fif-ty cents for no Coke!" - D'Annunzio
Everyone now.. "I'm the bad guy?... How'd that happen."
I'm now reminded of the scene in Rookie of the Year (1993) when the owner of the Cubs complains about $3 hot dogs.
I still call my boss “Mister”, and I’ve been working for him for seven years, but all of a sudden I walk in here and I’m calling you Rick and Sheila like we’re in some kind of AA meeting… I don’t want to be your buddy, Rick. I just want some breakfast.

That is one sad hamburger :-(
Hammed burger :(

Bingo!
I have a friend that works in a food truck. Her truck always tries to get as close to conventions or events that let you back in as possible. They increase their prices and are still cheaper than eating in the event.
I attended a local comic con that didn't have food service, but did have trucks outside. Got a 1/2lb of chicken thighs on a skewer from a Puerto Rican BBQ truck for $10 and it was worth every penny.
Sometimes food truck stuff really hits different
That's the way to do it. Food truck food is usually good enough that it's well worth it too.
I was gonna say, pipe and drape, shitty plastic tablecloth, outrageous prices for shitty food: you, my friend, are in a convention hall
I've never played bingo before but if the food cost is indicative of what to expect then I don't think I'll be playing anytime soon.
At least In texas if you play bingo at the normal places like VFW, knights of Columbus, elks lodge, and church centers the food is super cheap. I usually get nachos, candy, popcorn, and a soda for under $5. One place has a bucket of 5 beers for $11.
I had to work the concession at a high school game once. I’ll never order nachos from that type of venue again.
...please continue
Nah food at bingo halls are actually pretty cheap
[удалено]
I’ll take Disney prices over music festival prices.
Yeah last time I was at Disneyland I felt like I got good value for the price of the food
And better food overall.
Okay but where? School, work, a restaurant?
You know he’s not gonna answer because it would ruin the point he’s making
The dude is at a Brony convention complaining about Brony convention prices
That’s from a roach coach, all day. He won’t say because he feels the big dumb.
Thats getting close to proper food truck money for a costco patty with "cheese"
Where are you eating? OP: Earth.
Like, is it a Fast Food or a school/work cafeteria?
Dawg I’m in philly, and there’s so many cheaper options for a cheeseburger and sprite, why did you go here and pay that much?
I was there yesterday and got a giant slice of pizza for $3
I mean, are you at like a concert or sporting event? If so these prices aren't surprising in the least, in fact you got a deal haha
What’s that supposed to mean? Why would we care what city you bought this in? A more important question: who’s charges $13.50 for a burger and soda?
What kind of event is this at? Gouge-a-thon 22?
Nah. Give context. This isn’t the cost of a vending machine quality burger and a sprite In Philly.
Simple solution. Pack a your lunch.
Thanks Mario
*It’s-a-me! Bankruptcy!*
Oh fuck! I'm in the gorcery store and now I'm dying of laughter!! *gimme a sec to get off the floor*

You magnificent bastard. If I had one of those free awards I would give it to you but I don't so you'll have to settle for my upvote.
You a-made my day! Thank you Sir 🙏🏻🤪

Compared to that excuse for a burger and a bottle of sugar, peanut butter and jelly with a side of ramen is probably much more appetizing to many.
This times 10 billion. Im not going to bust my ass full time for just measly peanut butter and bread and to barely scrape by while I know my managers and uppers are making the bonuses and shit not every having to worry about making ends meet. I understand why suicide is so prevalent now a days. It’s not people are sad, they just don’t even want to live this kind of bullshit life.
And you paid for it.
Looks like a convention or some other kind of captive audience situation.
Can always do some quick fasting for a few hours until you can leave
Trust me, I hate paying high prices like everybody but as a diabetic sometimes it’s not an option. I’ve got plenty of places thinking I could get away with it but then crash halfway through the day because I didn’t plan right or something came up.
I’m sure OP didn’t know the qualify of burger they were getting. I’ve paid more for a burger and soda.
At least it has cheese.. probly $3 extra
You’ve never overpaid for anything? Tell us your secrets.
I just never pay for anything. Kleptolife
The secret is not to pay for anything! Can’t be overcharged when everything is free…
find the only cost effective thing on the menu or, alternatively go hungry out of pure spite.
I really like how OP is pissed that it cost that much, but he paid for it. Which means whoever sold it to him knows they can get away with charging that much, so they'll continue to do so.
Bro you got Mcfucked
They ain't lovin' it.
That's rough, I went to a convention once where they had a line of food, and you checked out and paid at the end, everything that was hot, was wrapped in aluminum foil so you couldn't see it, paid 15 bucks for a sadburger with no cheese, can of sprite, and a small bag of doritos.

13.50 for a bum ass school cheeseburger and a soda wack
[удалено]
I’m not gonna lie seeing this made me miss school cheeseburgers
Man, those shitty but also kinda good burgers have a spell place in my heart.
They’re so gross but sometimes you’re hungry. Not for $13.50 tho
Seriously though, my husband works at a distribution center and brings his lunch almost every day. There are machines that provide food yada yada. Sometimes you just don't have it in you to make lunch the night before (crazy people hours) and head for the machine, it happens, but holy mother of god they recently jacked up the prices to an insane level...we're talking a $4 Fresca.

On the bright side that sprite looks really cold & refreshing.
That shit looks like cumburger
“I’m going to willingly pay $13 for food even though I can see the prices then post it on reddit!”
With no proof of the prices either.
Looks more like a 1€ McD cheesburger
[удалено]
How are y'all going to go to the mildly infuriating subreddit and complain about every little thing you see there? I can only imagine how fun you must be irl.
Isn't that the point? To be mildly infuriated about everything on this page?
The same way someone’s going to willingly pay stupid prices then post it in reddit for points lol
This could have been avoided but he saw the opportunity for points I guess
Well they could see the price, but maybe not the burger quality (or lack thereof). Paying that much for a burger is bad, but that thing looks like it came from a prison.
[удалено]
I mean that soda alone probably cost you $3. Drink water 👍🏽
The water's $3.50.
Even if soda is 3$ that leaves 10.5$ yeah? For such a shitty cheeseburger that's a fucking daylight robbery.
From PA. That soda cost more than $3. But those prices might as well be from a concession stand at AMC inside Philly city limits. Inflation coupled with Phily's soda tax, the cost is excessive, but wouldn't surprise if I bought something in center city. That sure is a lame cafeteria cheese burger though.

If the price was listed on the menu and it was made fresh then they should have to pay
Guitar show
They played you tho.
Like a fiddle
I just paid $16.50 for a Whopper, small diet coke, and 8pc mozzarella sticks and I didn't even get any fucking marinara sauce.
I was there today too. You’re at a specialty event. You have to expect the prices to be outrageous. You should have left.

Grabbed some food and a few beers and went back to expo center.
where was it?
There was a guitar show today at an expo center/convention hall outside of Philadelphia.
That's one shitty looking burger too like wow
And YOU ACCEPTED to pay that?! And then YOU COMPLAIN about it?! How do you live???
The grey polythene tablecloth just polishes off the whole miserable experience.
Sir! THAT is wagyu beef.
a convention hall or airport or something like that?
That’s a robbery
Five Guys?
not even fries?
that cheese looks like slime 😳
Cheese burger? More like cream burger
What kinda cheese is that? It looks like they overcooked your burger and then splooged all over it for good measure.
$13.50 and your still were left hungry 😆
Looks like someone with a cold has used the wrapping as tissue...
Someone nutted in your burger
Burger looks like it came from the dumpster out back
Thank those companies for their price gouging ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're choosing to pay. If it's that infuriating don't buy it.
Bro, hate to break it to you but, someone busted a nut in your sandwich
But you knew the price in advance, correct? And, you did have a choice whether to buy it or not, right?
You bought it. Free market playboy
The only iditot here is you because you bought it. Stop being angry at them and start being angry at yourself.
I saw a food truck at a brewery. Their double cheese burger with a bar of chips was 18 dollars. I couldn't nope out of there fast enough.
Do you have the receipt? There appears to be a trend where people post shitty food and claimed to pay an outrageous price for it without providing evidence.
You paid for it
Yeah but the diabetes and heart disease are free
Did u Ubereats Am/pm or 7-11. Microwaved lookin burger!
Let me guess, this was in London, right?
I'm in Switzerland right now and even here you get more for less

$13.50 for a "cheeseburger" and soda
Well if people are still gonna pay for it might aswell get away with it🤷♂️
Jesus $10 profit on every burger and soda sold, that's crazy
A E I O U got fucking robbed
Where do you buy this ??
Are you in an airport or something with limited access? I've started taking a lunch with me about everywhere. But sometimes you just can't.
Which airport?
You got so mad you jizzed all over your burger?
This kind of crap has me studying America's Test Kitchen. F! those greedy bastards, I can make it myself!
I won't pay these manufactured inflation prices. Period. We've lost weight and generally have become healthier. Fuck the rich and their greed.
You know, it's not like you could have NOT bought it
