Murrell ended up sending a $1K bonus check to 1,500 stores

Assuming each store averages 20 employees and the bonuses were split equally between all employees:

$1000/20 = $50.

So he was bragging about giving employees a bonus that wasn't even enough to buy a family of four dinner at Five Guys.

Apparently not enough ot buy a family of two dinner at Five Guys if the other comments here are to be believed. I've never been there, I don't know the prices

They’re not that expensive unless you’re getting fries. One burger is enough to feed two people almost so you don’t really need fries, but the fries are good. I haven’t been back in like a year though so maybe prices went up.

And people also get the "normal" size fries for one person. which is excessive

Burgers and fries are cheap food. What the fuck is the point if you just get the burger? There is no defense of their crazy ass pricing.

The burgers are 20% better for 80% higher cost. Fuck that.

Their fries are ass, big mushy, wet floppy grosseness. Finish frying the damn things!

The burger is half a pound of beef. You are eating way too much if you are eating a full burger and fries.
