The idea that he does not understand the reason many foods are priced as they are, especially when discussing local establishments, is further reinforced by his confusion regarding franchises and ownership.

The most prolific example of his anger towards pricing he deems too high stems from his review of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJIYJE99Fpo 'EJ’s Restaurant'], which earned a D Minus on his ‘Report Card’. As he described the food as GUD, it is believed that this extremely low score was solely due to the fact that he felt the relatively standard prices (13$ each for a hamburger and a Reuben sandwich) were too high. Rather than displaying an awareness of price disparity and encourage his viewers to continue supporting local businesses despite higher prices, he offered the Baconator from Wendy’s as a suitable alternative because it was cheaper. | The most prolific example of his anger towards pricing he deems too high stems from his review of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJIYJE99Fpo 'EJ’s Restaurant'], which earned a D Minus on his ‘Report Card’.
