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

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

Downtown

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

Quite the story there

goose

thanks for letting us know

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

hansel

1/20/15 9:51am

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

Ebolarama

1/20/15 9:53am

You definitely missed his point.

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

1/20/15 11:12am

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.
