David I think and hope the pricing pressure is ending. I read an article about MAC last week. The are going to automate their grills so their food will be fresh. Seems the price leader found out customers want fresh, good tasting food not just dry, dull food at $0.69. Also when I took my daughter to Bug.. King, I noticed that the Wopper is $1.49 and the JR. is the one sold at $0.99 now. Hope to be back in FM soon. Hope for a $1.20 Jumbo Jack soon. richard
