Fretful Fork

Back in the 80's, I had a boss that, when facing unreasonable prices on anything, would always say to the seller "Are you trying to retire early?"  I was reminded of that phrase today when the following flyer arrived in the mailbox.  Papa John's Pizza on Zebulon Rd. is asking basically $1.00 per chicken wing on their Papa's Lunch Express menu. 

$1.00 per chicken wing is VERY expensive when there are already several chicken wing options in that two plus block range.  The Wise Guy Wings place in Kroger strip mall is between $ .65-.75 per wing.  The chinese restaurant on the Chic-Fil-A side of the strip mall is usually between $.45 - $ .60 per wing.  Zaxby's across the interstate is priced like Wise Guy Wings.  Even at Buffalo's Cafe next door, the wings are not even $ .75 each.  There are wings on the $5.49 buffet at Chen's Wok all you can eat.  Sunrise China serves wings, up the hill next to McAlister Deli.

Good Luck on your overpriced Lunch promotion, Papa John's.  I prefer going to a real wings restaurant than going to a pizza place looking for spicy Chicken.  The other prices on this menu seem extra high also, except for maybe the breadsticks @ 2 for $ .99 !
