    Murrell ended up sending a $1K bonus check to 1,500 stores

    Assuming each store averages 20 employees and the bonuses were split equally between all employees:

    $1000/20 = $50.

    So he was bragging about giving employees a bonus that wasn’t even enough to buy a family of four dinner at Five Guys.

        They’re not that expensive unless you’re getting fries. One burger is enough to feed two people almost so you don’t really need fries, but the fries are good. I haven’t been back in like a year though so maybe prices went up.

          Burgers and fries are cheap food. What the fuck is the point if you just get the burger? There is no defense of their crazy ass pricing.

          The burgers are 20% better for 80% higher cost. Fuck that.

          Their fries are ass, big mushy, wet floppy grosseness. Finish frying the damn things!

            The burger is half a pound of beef. You are eating way too much if you are eating a full burger and fries.

        I tried them a couple of weeks ago for the first time. A burger each for me and my mom and we split one order of fries and we each got a fountain drink. $44, so two orders of fries would have taken us over the $50 line. And the food was absolutely nothing special, although it was at least a small step up from McDonald’s. For bonus points, my dementia-riddled brain couldn’t figure out how to use the soda dispenser machine.
