[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1701435, member: 21194"] Not restaurant related, but about 40 years ago I was working in a large department store that was trying to compete with Walmart (that didn't work out very well, by the way). We had a bunch of small canned goods that corporate had shipped in for weekly specials that we didn't normally carry, like beanie weenies, chili weenies, etc. A few of them were slightly higher, but most of them were around 45 cents each. These odds and ends were sitting there taking up space, so I devised a plan. I removed all the old price stickers from the cans, moved them to a table in the middle of an aisle, and hung up a big sign saying 2 for $1.00. They were all gone in just a few days. People wouldn't buy them for 45 cents, but two for $1.00 was a bargain they couldn't pass up. That reminds me of my brother-in-law, who lives in New York. When he comes down to visit he likes to go out for Tex-Mex, where he will invariably study the menu closely, looking at everything on it, . . . and then order cheese enchiladas. [/QUOTE]
