I had a double-double, animal style with fries and a coke at the In and Out Burger today.
The total came to $6.66.
It was very tasty.
I seem to remember a thread in which a Doper recounted having their purchase total $6.66, and the clerk didn’t want to handle it. Either that, or wanted them to buy something else so the total was different.
That’s the wonderful thing about the San Francisco Bay area, we’re all godless heathens. The clerk didn’t even blink.
When I was a clerk in a drug store about 15 years ago, two packs of the cheapest cigarettes plus tax came to $6.66. A good chunk of the customers would grab a pack of gum or something to add on. I never had a problem with it, I would just snicker at the people who would freak out about it.
Off from MPSIMS to Cafe Society.
I wrote about a tasty burger just this past weekend from a place called ‘Elevation Burger’, but I really couldn’t think of a good place to post what I wrote until now. I’m not sure if what it relates to should ever be called evil, or even bad. On the off-chance some reader might think so, I’ll spoiler box it.

Forgive my absence; I was away at lunch. And what I had for that lunch was One Delicious Burger.
Yes, friends, I know what Is and what Is Not healthy to eat regularly (and I eat that Healthy Choice far too often). But sometimes, from deep within our Neanderthal Genes and Souls comes a strong primal desire to bury our faces in the sweetest, tastiest and juiciest of warm meat sandwiches until our chins literally run with the drippings of flavor.
After we sate our base appetites and cravings, we raise our wet faces to the sky in triumph. And in Thanks…

.Ok, thats it. No more ‘True Blood’ before bedtime.
I’ve got a story where that happened to a former coworker (and I was actually there when it happened). I’d imagine I’ve told it before because its a good one. That guy was a hoot. He’d get into the weirdest predicaments then at the last moment things would work out fine. We always joked he had a lazy guardian angel that always swooped in at the last moment. Heard recently he had passed 
What a smart, funny, nice, helpful guy he was. One of those folks you look back on and realize how fortunate you were to have them be a significant part of your life for awhile.
IIRC the main thing was the clerk would not TELL him what the total was (and he was like WTF?). I think he may have also added something else to make the clerk happy.
I raise a $6.66 hamburger to the sky in your honored memory Dr. Lovell.
Was the Bible verse on the wrapper Rev 13:18?
I had the same thing happened at KFC once. The clerk who rang me up asked “What are you evil?” I initially did not connect the comment with the total and thought “If you thinking eating fried chicken is evil, you picked the wrong place to work.”
Back when I was working for the mayor, one time I ordered a “double double,” and they gave me a “double double double double.” Those were good times.
Here in Chicago, with 11% sales tax, the McDonald’s dollar menu often gets you to $6.66.
Which location, so I can avoid it in case of apocalypse.
I know someone who convinced a Round Table Pizza clerk to lower the price on a bill because it came to $9.11

I had another one today.
I’ll be damned if it wasn’t just as tasty.
A waste of a meal, unless you add the animal-style fries.
Then, it would be my death row last request meal.

“666? No this is 664. I’m the Neighbour of the Beast.”
Did you feel the power of the Dark One surge through your veins?
“Welcome to Evil Burger – how may I torment your soul in the fires of eternal damnation today?”
'Round here, they just say “Welcome to McDonald’s. May I take your order?” I think it serves a similar purpose.
Of course, if it were a Federal contract, it would cost $10,314,424,798,490,535,546,171,949,056

I once had the manager at a Hardees give me a discount so that he wouldn’t have to collect $6.66.
