Which is also absurd. The markup on breakfast is crazy. Paying $3.xx for
a quarter pound burger is one thing, but $3.29 for a 3"- 3½" McMuffin or
McGriddles is another.

Their sausage biscuits are on the dollar menu. If you want egg on it too,
the price skyrockets. Occasionally, I go thru the drive thru and get
sausage biscuits and take them home and add eggs. Also, you can get them
to give you a freshly cooked egg for no extra charge on any sandwich that
usually has that processed egg stuff.
