      <![CDATA[You mean the McDouble's costs are 50 to 60 percent of the price, right? I can't imagine there are $2 worth of raw ingredients in that thing.

      <![CDATA[<i>as one analyst put it, "they're not buying the soda, they're stiffing the waiter on the tip, they're drinking water and they're leaving."</i><br><br>They're not getting stiffed on the tip by me.  Yeah, times are tough. So while I might drink water and turn down starters and/or dessert, I won't stiff a server unless the (lack of) service rates it.
