Hi marcearl20. This is old news. Check the long standing Five Guys thread for a discussion on this and the reimbursement increase to $14.20.

Yes, it seems like the prices are a bit higher every time I go in. At least the MSC has increased the reimbursement amounts, but at times it still doesn't cover the out-of-pocket expenses.

To get fully reimbursed (most of the time) for something I like, I have to order a regular fountain drink, a little fries, and a BLT. There have been times when the increased reimbursement still doesn't fully cover my meal at certain Five Guys locations (mostly due to higher tax rates).

TBH $4-5 for their fries in this economy is fair.

Fair when they give you a lot of extra fries. Not great when they only give you 8 to 10 extra fries.

Although, I have not been with the MSC that does Five Guys in over 10 years I do still go on my own dime occasionally. I went the other week and got a Regular double patty Bacon cheeseburger with extra bacon and cheese. Just a piece of helpful information you only pay for the initial bacon and cheese the extra is free. I also ordered a little fry which was plenty as the extra easily filled the cup 2 more times so I at least got the scoop on top. Lastly I got a large drink. As I used my card I know the total was 17.16 after tax or 15.78 before tax. I could have saved by either getting a little burger, no cheese, no bacon, or any combination of those things. I also could have saved getting a cheaper drink be it a regular fountain drink or a bottled drink. I don't know the shop drink requirements currently.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

I never get out of there for less than $15 for a burger, little fries, and reg drink. So, I just wait until the shop fee goes to $25 or above. Then, who cares that I'm not fully reimbursed.

Tax is high in my area, and I had to spend some of my own money on both the meal (veggie sandwich/fries/drink) and the shake.
