If this is real, then you’re poking fun at a mentally deficient American. This may shock you, but we don’t all fit that bill.

I’ll say the same thing to you that I’d say to Donald Trump: Fuck you.

You all still use imperial, so…

Maybe not all fit the bill, just the majority.

The third burger failed because it was a stupid amount when it came out, iirc it was more expensive than the quarter lber and like a dollar less than a double quarter lber.

“lber” is making me irrationally angry.

Well yeah, that’s how math should work. It’s more expensive than the thing it’s bigger than, and less expensive than the thing it’s smaller than.

My point was almost everyone would rather spend the extra dollar to get more especially because the double quarter lber came with a larger fry iirc.

They sold different size fries with different burgers? Not just small medium large choice for any burger? I’ve never heard of that

It failed at more chains than just McDonald’s. Lots of places had 1/3 burger patties only and most have switched to 1/4 and didn’t even alter the price… More profit and they get less headache about it.

Never really saw it anywhere else at least here in the Midwest.

You don’t really see much in the midwest except a few cows and tornados.

I used to work on a deli. Someone ordered an eighth pound of meat (which is like nothing and nobody ever did this). My coworker asked me if that meant .8 on the scale.

That’s ~50g. I wouldn’t think of ordering less than 100g of anything at a deli

(At least people in metric countries hardly need fractions)

Yeah it was a comically tiny amount of meat.

It depends on how much they’re paying you

That was another point of frustration. People would think if they asked for a half pound and the scale reads .6 they get a deal, but in reality it’s just printing a label that says my pounds and they gotta pay accordingly. Some customers would accuse you of ripping them off if they asked for a specific amount and got that amount exactly.

This is hilarious, I never considered people would actually think like that.

Why would they think you’re weighing it? To see if your judgement of the weight is accurate?
