its the same item,,,,,,,why is one less expensive ????

my husband says,,, " hmmm,,,,,,do they put more meat on the sandwich for dinner menu??"

Answer 1

not really-no. i think it's cause people usually get hungry around dinner time-therefore more willing to pay for it.

Answer 2

Usually no.  People just pay more at dinner, and are willing too.  It is one of those things most people do not think about for some reason.

Answer 3

Its probably because it has bigger portions...and maby it comes with a different side dish.

Answer 4

lunch! Dinner can get pretty costly

Answer 5

I agree with Maybe maybe

Answer 6

Portions are smaller at lunch time than at dinner.

Answer 7

It really depends on the restaurant. For example, if I wanted to get more customers at lunch time than at dinner time, I would discount the food a bit during that time.

The portion could also be smaller at lunchtime, which is why it might be cheaper.

Answer 8

During dinner, there are more people, so they want to make more money. At lunch, not a lot of people eat, so they make it cheap, so they can attract more people and wouldn't have an empty restaurant.

Answer 9

usually the dinner menu's items are a bit larger. the portions are bigger but not much.
