Story : The $7 Hamburger

The $7 Dollar Hamburger

Well, I hope you had an interesting weekend as I. I must tell you a story, that is simply amazing.

I was at the beach and a bit peckish. So I go up over the dunes to a surf snack shack. I use to frequent the same shop with a different greasy owner when I was a youngster. I remember I use to pay about $2 for gigantic whopping burger, that even as a young man in my 20’s was hard to scoff down. They were delicious, ANYWAY… I got to the counter and see the menu very different and burgers have gone up to $7. I thought to myself INFLATION IS A B&^TCH!

I had $10 in my pocket and thought what the heck, its going to be a whopping burger, so I gave this old greasy lady my ten, and by the state of her weathered greasy hands I was afraid to receive my change.

OH HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED!

When the burger was cooked she handed me this small pancake looking burger, wrapped up with grease dripping everywhere. I looked up at her with a weird expression and said “errrr, thanks!” She smiled at me, like she just spat in the burger and in her croaky voice said “Enjoy!” and then she cackled like a dirty old witch.

I wasn’t sure what to do, but I just paid $7 for this damn thing so I sat down and started eating. I must say, it looked like something out of a bad 70’s horror film but it didn’t taste to bad. But changing $7 for a meal fit for a raccoon, was a bit steep i thought.

I have never paid $7 for a hamburger in my life and probably never will again, as I felt completely robbed. But you live and you learn. I thought for $7 the lady behind the counter was going to shaprone me round, wash my car, and shout out nice compliments to me for 24 hours.

But things are tight at the moment, thought you would enjoy this and reminder to all that we gotta help each other out as time moves on. Was a good lesson of inflation for me. Things dont always stay the same price forever.
