Because it’s discounted down from $39?

Some people actually enjoy overpaying for stuff, because it’s a status symbol for them.
If they sold that same sandwich for $6, a lot of New Yorkers who have an elitist attitude might turn their noses up at it. But slap a $29 price tag on it and they have to have it.

Sack lunch or picnic from home. This has become our solution to price gouging. Takes a little extra effort but we have become to enjoy it.

Bologna sandwiches are much cheaper.

You can make better with the right ingredients.

Sheesh, it’s not like making a ham and cheese sandwich and packing your lunch yourself is such a big deal. It takes less time that ordering it from a deli or restaurant and going to get it.

Because the cheese is imported all the way from Mexico, and is actually from dog milk. The ham is even more rare and imported from Saudi Arabia.

If we keep printing money and borrowing trillions of dollars, that sandwich will cost $100 before too long.

I recently bought a whole sprial cut Ham for 14$ . I cut it up and froze most of it. It tastes just fine after it thaws.

For $29 USD I think I still might be able to swing a whole mess of home-cooked liver and onionswith bacon, and if not a full two-four, at least the better part of one. Or, to go fancy, several family sized Polish-Kashub poutines and at least a half-dozen Warka. That’s good cultural food.
Thank God I don’t live in New York. Or Toronto.

It’s Zabar’s.
You pay it to say you’ve stopped there.
My bet is that most of the folks shelling out that 29 bucks ain’t repeat customers.
