You definitely missed his point.

There is a fine line that business owners should NEVER cross and that's when the start charging more than the value they're providing. Once they lose customers to that, it's really tough to ever get them back.

I think in the beginning at BYU, it was $3 for dog & drink.

Yep. I went to the shack all the time after my biology class.

Quite the story there

thanks for letting us know

$4 is a bit much for a hot dog. It's a hot dog, man

hansel

That $6-$12 extra every few months would have been tough to fit into the budget.

ManicBlue

1/20/15 10:00am

maybe. would you rather have 1000 customers that are willing to pay $5 for

BlueFrog

1/20/15 10:03am

or more likely ... 1000 customers willing to pay $5 and zero willing to pay $10

ManicBlue

1/20/15 10:05am

I'd imagine the # of customers that stop going to Jdaws based on a $2 increase

Ebolarama

RE: I'd imagine the # of customers that stop going to Jdaws based on a $2

ManicBlue

1/20/15 10:07am

You're right, thats why restaurants never want to open up new locations.

Ebolarama

1/20/15 10:09am

You're still missing the point

ManicBlue

1/20/15 10:16am

yeah we get that, but who are you to place the value that I see in something? Or

BlueFrog

1/20/15 10:20am

I guess we'll see if he stays in business or lowers his prices.

ManicBlue

1/20/15 10:24am

But had they built up the large following before expanding and raising prices?

Ebolarama

1/20/15 10:30am

Places can lose their 'large following' a lot easier than it took to gain it

ManicBlue

1/20/15 10:38am

Quality plays a bigger factor than price imo. Like Mountain West Burrito.

Ebolarama

1/20/15 10:46am

I guess we'll see. They have a lot of competition at the Thanksgiving Point loc.

ManicBlue

1/20/15 10:49am

Still quite a bit cheaper than the competition there

Ebolarama

1/20/15 10:55am

Not for what you get in return IMO

ManicBlue

1/20/15 11:05am

You're going to be spending over $10 at any of those places.

Ebolarama

RE: You're going to be spending over $10 at any of those places.

ManicBlue

1/20/15 11:23am

Popeyes is awful though. Dickies is HORRIBLE also. JCW's you're over $10 for

Ebolarama

1/20/15 11:25am

JCW's has a $6.99 combo still pretty sure.

Grit for Brains

1/20/15 11:31am

They might, if you want the very very basic. I went last week and got a combo

Ebolarama

1/20/15 11:35am

Dude ... you either own JDawgs or your tastebuds are seriously damaged

ManicBlue

1/20/15 11:35am

I go to J dawgs maybe twice a year. Don't love it, don't hate it.

Ebolarama

1/20/15 11:41am

Again ... still missing the point .. smh

ManicBlue

1/20/15 11:45am

I get the point. 100%. I just think its stupid.

Ebolarama

1/20/15 11:49am

It's common sense ... I guess you consider that stupid. Gotcha.

ManicBlue

1/20/15 1:03pm

To not eat something you really enjoy to save $10 a year? Its not like we are

Ebolarama

1/20/15 1:28pm

That's just it ...

ManicBlue

1/20/15 1:47pm

Who needs life on the edge when you've got popeyes an dickeys

Ebolarama

1/20/15 1:51pm

'life on the edge' = JDawgs hmmm ... interesting

ManicBlue

1/20/15 1:56pm

The real point to here is that you don't think jdawgs is worth it.

PharmCoug

1/20/15 2:39pm

No the real point is just what I stated it to be

ManicBlue

1/20/15 3:24pm

Actually, this will probably "force" me to spend more

StantonMac

1/20/15 3:31pm

Actually I see it a little different than that - although I do agree with you on

crack

1/20/15 10:35am

yeah. his cost is under $1.25 for that meal

BlueFrog

1/20/15 10:54am

DapperDan has a point, they are now renting large spaces, have more employees,

Ebolarama

1/20/15 10:03am

Still if they don't provide a good enough value, they won't have any customers

ManicBlue

1/20/15 10:06am

Why is it dramatic to say...

StealingHome

1/20/15 10:09am

Well, here's one anecdone about what they are paying their employees for...

StantonMac

1/20/15 10:13am

Never said fast food managers were competent.

Ebolarama

1/20/15 10:14am

great margins on a total of $1.05 cost

BlueFrog

1/20/15 9:54am

RE: Went to jdawgs for the first time in a while last night

erkimust

1/20/15 9:54am

Shacks have lower overhead

DapperDan

1/20/15 9:58am

Too much for that meal

Cougrrrs Roll

1/20/15 10:04am

It's unfair to compare any restaurant to Costco's subsidised prices. Their food

DapperDan

1/20/15 10:14am

Jdawgs is like 20-25% more than a combo at chic fil or in n out which are both

cougarfann888

1/20/15 12:45pm

You get a chic fil a combo for $4 ? Which location is this?

Ebolarama

1/20/15 12:51pm

I Get it for $5.60ish and $7 jdawg meal is 25% more than that, the real questio

cougarfann888

1/20/15 2:34pm

They're definitely at that tipping point.

Niiineteeen84

1/20/15 10:04am

You are absolutely right

StealingHome

1/20/15 10:07am

I never go there either -- just can't get excited about spending $40 or $50

korihor

1/20/15 10:08am

Thanks for the info. Had it last night and I'll be back again soon.

Hey guys - MtnMan is made out of money, but is too cheap to donate to CB

StantonMac

1/20/15 10:15am

Why yes, yes I am and I don't donate to CB like StantonMac

MtnMan

1/20/15 10:53am

These types of CB posts are the worst.

NacoCoug

1/20/15 2:14pm

What is so bad about expressing my opinion on the value I get for my money?

StantonMac

1/20/15 3:23pm

This has to be one of the saddest CB threads ever.
