Loss leaders – an epilogue

09 Feb 2011 » 1 min read

When I went to McDonald’s this morning to get my Coca Cola, I noted almost at once that the price for a Sausage McMuffin meal had been restored to it’s previous value. The price increase had been completely rolled back. It’s probably because most people were refusing to buy the meal at that price and the revenue from it dwindled to nothing. But I’d like to think it was because of my scathing post yesterday, and McDonald’s fear that such criticism seen far and wide on a highly popular blog of a minor science fiction writer was too much to handle. So they rolled back the price.

Probably didn’t happen that way, but I’ll stick with the fantasy.
