Also, I would expect the proximity of the two cities to modify any huge price differences between them, so how about between two cities that are comparable in size but more distant from each other?<br><br>Paul<br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">

Whatever, I was still hungry after I ate it. For roughly the same moolah you could go to the Super China Buffet and get all you can eat of (probably) more healthful and arguably better tasting food. I would suggest that the min wage short-order burger joints have fare is already way overpriced, and they should be paying their employees $20/hour anyway at the prices they currently charge.
