Question. Why are the prices so much lower in the summer?
CASHIER
Its simple supply and demand really. There is less demand over the summer we have to adjust the price accordingly. We also have less overhead because we have to employ less people and buy less ingredients when we're not serving 15,000 people 3 times a day.

...That actually makes sense. A very good answer to my sarcastic question. Thank You.

No problem. My post-doctoral work was in the economics of universities. Turns out this job is significantly less soul crushing than academia.
