McDonalds update

Well if you remember I stopped at a McDonald's and the coffee was the wrong price. I stopped at that McDonald's (Overland and Cole) again a couple days ago and the coffee was only $1. Price fixed, good job. End of story right?

Not quite. Yesterday I went to a different McDonald's (Apple St. near Timberline) and was charged $1.39. The person taking my order, his name tag said maintenance, tried to tell me it is only $1 when you get a meal. I told him the menu says $1 in more than 1 place. Then it was well, it used to be only when you got a meal.

Is this a Boise thing? Idaho? The whole country? How many coffee's do they sell in a day? Times all the stores. That would add up pretty quickly. Based on 12,000 US stores, 25 cups a day per store, that would be more than $100,000 in sales a day.

What do you think about pricing errors now when you are shopping anywhere?
