      Thats literally what every business everywhere does. It is basic economics. Prices are determined not by the cost to produce, but by what people are willing to pay.

      • I guess what I mean is that this place seems to be doing it at the aggregate level. Like someone decided that people going there would spend $13 for a meal, so everything is $13. Adult hamburger? $13. Kid’s hamburger? $13. Grilled cheese? $13.

        Most places would say that people aren’t going to spend the same amount for a grilled cheese as for an adult burger, so they’d make the grilled cheese cheaper.
