And just like that, McDonald's just lost one, if not millions of customers

So, let me get this straight. Every penny counts to you, yet you took a ton of change and, instead of counting it yourself, put it into the "lazy man's" coin counter and paid an 8.9% fee?

Wow...glad to see your financial priorities are in check.

Yea I pretty much don't drink any beverage that has calories in it (water 95% of the time).

I'm as healthy as can be as well, it isn't vital for nutritional supplementation.

I like milk but you can get what you need from milk in other things. Milk isn't a necessity at all.

We're not even supposed to be drinking the stuff, really.

But, mmm mmm I love it!

I pay 6x face for 90% silver coins and 2x face for 40%.

Just saying.

Take a multi-vitamin and you're good, I do. I don't want the calories in milk or the sugar. Plus it just sits in your stomach.

I'd like to go on record as saying I'm surprised a thread about the inflation on a double cheeseburger has gotten this many responses.

Just buy the bread, meat, and cheese and make better, healthier, and cheaper burgers yourself.

And on the topic of milk, I'm living with two roommates at an apartment. We split most of the food costs, and at the start of the semester, we'd switch off buying the milk. Well, I started to notice that we were finishing a gallon about every other day, and I sometimes wasn't drinking any. So we made one of my roomates start buying his own milk, because he goes through the stuff like it is water. My other roomate and I now go through about a gallon in a week and a half, and the other guy is drinking at least two a week. I should start a thread about my roomate; I've got all kinds of stories like this one. Living with the guy is a full-time job.
