The Why Pay More? Guy

Located between Terrace Fish & Chips and some building that is 122 Fulton is a store, well downstairs, and on the way to/​from the subway. The sandwichboard on the street points downward and lists the prices — Select chips are 25 cents, all candy is 50 cents, drinks are 75 cents, the primo large size VIP candysnacks are a buck. «Why pay more?» he’ll ask every customer. He’s right on the money (bad pun intended); the same snacks in this area are 3x the price, and sometimes even taxed. My midafternoon snack cravings are sated and for under a buck. Even with the constant price rising of the most minute items (I’m looking at you Wrigley people) this guy keeps it low and on scale, knowing that it’s about volume not gouging.
