Barefoot, on my spreadsheet, I switch the reimbursement amount and the pay. This way, I can buy whatever I want and get fully reimbursed.

I am not quite sure I understand?

I think I understood but I disagree. If you track shop pay and reimbursement pay separately for tax purposes, you could claim that part of the shop pay here was actually for reimbursement and account for it accordingly. The problem is that the msc won't report it that way so your numbers will be off. Maybe a little, maybe a lot depending on how often this occurs. I liken it to my grocery store visits. 10 pay plus 10 reimbursement, it makes no difference if I spend $10.08 or $76, it's still 10 pay and 10 reimbursement from an accounting standpoint.

I need my coffee, can't type this morning.

I just did a delivery shop today. My fries were in a brown bag and not in the usual white cup. Is this normal for delivery or did Five Guys change the fries container?

Depends. I've seen both.

Those patty melts are soooooo gooood! I like to get mine with grilled onions, grilled jalapeños, and grilled green peppers. I like to get tomatoes on the side and some pickles. I ask them to cut it in half. I eat half. I fold up the other half in the foil and take it home and it’s really good heated up in the oven for breakfast with eggs the next day or so. Love the patty melt!

Since they started the $5 additional for “combos,” I did an online shop and they did not offer the discount for the “combos.” At least that was a few weeks ago. I’m doing another one on Monday, so we shall see. I hope that they do not reduce our reimbursement amount since the online shops at this time, do not offer the special.

I was at a location where a "regular" came in and the manager was telling him to CALL AHEAD next time. That the $5 deal doesn't work online.

Wondering if 5g doesn't have it in their system because not every location is participating.

it would be very easy to code something where the stores that offer it would allow the $5 offer could be used.

But there is no incentive for corporate 5g to add this functionality.

I hope! I hope 5G doesn’t lower our reimbursement. For a while, it was nearly impossible to order anything without going over and then they increased it. So it’s a lot easier now, and especially nice with the $5 combo special.

Haven't seen a $5 combo special. But its been at least a couple of months since I did an in store shop.

Can someone enlighten me?

enlighten you on what? some places are letting you add little fries/regular soda for $5.

I've seen it at 2 locations now.

so my $21.xx order is now $17.85 and i only go over 60 cent!
