It's a small shock that this woman so adamantly refused to believe that she had to pay the extra .32 because McDonalds made the fairly sound, if short-sighted, business decision to change the price back without providing any form of warning whatsoever. Thing is, people will still buy them, in just as high quantities as before, after a short drop in sales out of sheer protest. When these prices become normal again, most of those customers will come back.
Not very comforting, I know, and I'm sorry. I can't comfort when I see the world to be even worse than you do. [chuckles]
