And maybe a marketing lesson for local restaurants:
Stopped in Newnan for a Steak & Shake and found a $3.99 menu that had lots of choices. Settled for a triple burger with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion & Fries for $3.99. Now where's the catch? Tea for $2.50? Nope...$1.00. The place was packed and not only that but wait staff was almost running with the orders and service. Can they keep it up? Who knows but it sure was a great experience. You can always raise prices a little at a time when you are popular..

Steak and Shake has had the 3.99 meals for a long time (it's nation wide pricing). I've never been to the one in Newnan, but I get that same triple often when I travel. Did you get a shake?....they are even better than the burgers, and if you go between 2 and 4 (am or pm) they are half price.

Been there, done that, and every time we have been there it was packed. Don't know how the Wendy's across the intersection stays in business, other than the people who want to grab a burger much like the old time railroad engineers grabbed their instructions from the post at the station...sometimes at speed. Now there's one for you. How many forum posters have witnessed that feat? I did in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in the early fifties...come on now, old farts..'fess up.

Fast food?
Not anymore. It ain’t fast… it ain’t cheap… and it ain’t good.

Hodja, you brough back some old memories. I'm not that old but I remember making my rounds through a large manufacturing plant many years ago and stopped by the transportation department which was responsible for moving all the rail cars in the plant. An old time switchman was breaking in a new hire and was giving him instructions on how to break a cut down. He told him that if he wants to cut one car from the cut he would signal by raining his arms above his head and hitting his fists together one time or the numer of times for the number of cars to cut. They were switching cars and the old swithchman signaled for two cars to be cut by the signal he had given, The new hire just looked at him. The signal to cut two cars was again given with no success. The old swwitchman screamed; TWO, and spelled TUE you dumb sob.
