I was on board until the bit about no scrambled eggs on bacon. I'm not mad, just wondering about the reasoning here.

@1,

I'm kinda the opposite. Absolutely everything has gotten obnoxiously expensive over the past year or two and egg sandwiches aren't an exception. But a well made one will have a nicely pan fried egg, preferably with the yolk intact as the base.

Scrambled eggs go on a plate, next to a giant pile of hash browns.

Sympathetic, but have you seen the price of eggs in Trump's America? NYC bodegas have raised prices... as well as selling eggs as loosies.

A dude from a city where it costs $7000 a month to rent a closet is complaining about how much stuff in Seattle costs.

I understand the sentiment, as an east coast transplant who was used to getting lunch for $5 at one of the many Italian bakeries. However, you can't live in a city like Seattle, a city with one of the highest minimum wages and ridiculously high rents, and expect those costs not to be passed on to the customers.

You can live your proletariat dream at ampm if you're willing to chew for it

Yeah I remember when I moved to Seattle in the fall of 2002 and found one place that sold a breakfast sandwich for $7.50. I had moved to Seattle from NYC and was used to getting an egg, ham, and cheese on a kaiser roll and a coffee for $3 ($4 tops depending on the location). Cost of eggs is a problem, but if they ever go back to normal, making your own breakfast sandwich at home is far more inexpensive and really doesn't take that much time. They even have tiny pans that cook the egg/meat/cheese in perfect form to fit on your english muffi or whatever you want your breakfast sandwich on. No breakfast sandwich is worth $15. Any breakfast sandwich over $5 is a rip off.

Do you people think someone is getting rich off making these things? The price is a reflection of the cost of doing business. High rents + plus high wages = high costs. Trust there are no cafes in Seattle doing better than barely staying open.

if you're so

Yup.
A breakfast sandwich and coffee now costs $20, damn near equal to a sit down breakfast meal.
It's insane.
Due to the high cost of my beloved breakfast sandwiches at eatery's, I've invested in silicone egg rings to make my own sandwiches at home. I can no longer afford to let someone else cook it for me.
