Does valet parking and VIP seating come with this, too?

An uproar over a pricey bacon cheeseburger and fries at Five Guys is causing a stir on social media, baffling many over why the combo cost a customer nearly $25.

A user account on X exposed the popular fast food joint by posting a receipt he found on Reddit that showed a bacon cheeseburger alone cost $12.49.

“Five Guys prices are out of control,” the X user wrote. “$24 for one person.”

The receipt showed an order of a bacon cheeseburger that cost $12.49, one soda priced at $2.89, and small fries for $5.19 — all amounting to $21.91.

And even more eyebrow-raising was a tip for $2.19 spotted on the receipt.

The other takeaway from the Five Guys order was the questionable tip paid by the customer. AP
