Dollar menu item
During my recent travels I stopped for coffee at a Richmond VA area McDonalds and was surprised at one of their $1.00 menu items.
For a buck I could have purchased an hour of wireless Internet access. Not a bad deal but as I was traveling unplugged I enjoyed the coffee with a local newspaper instead of my laptop.
