That reminds me of something that happened to me once. The ninth and tenth graders at our school are in some buildings on the same piece of property as the middle school campus, and at the middle school campus they serve breakfast in the mornings. One morning I went there to buy a quesadilla. It cost sixty cents. I wanted a second one (I was hungry) and the second one cost seventy cents.

.

That's just not OK. Isn't the second one supposed to cost less than the first in order to entice you to buy it? I cannot think of a single reason to charge MORE for the second item. Grr.
