i think you are looking at the wrong henhouse. i would bet almost anything that once labor and rent is factored out, the price of the starbucks on mcd is very close to the same.

follows with the taxes on an airport rental car.

privately owned prisons charge a huge surcharge as rent on the payphones in the place. some are as much as $2-3 per call.
