The price of ketchup.......

Took the kids into a fast food place yesterday (won't name) as a treat.
Now its been about 3 years since i was in one of these places and we ordered and paid for the food sat down all excited and unwrapped and no flaming ketchup.
So a quick look around and none to be found.
Up to the counter " Can i have some Ketchup please" well feck me the responce was "70 cent please"
Well i thought you cheeky fecker. I wanted to walk away out of principle but i bit my lip and coughed up.

Its not a question of being tight but surely this can't be the norm these days or is it.......

Try going to an airport terminal and asking for some ketchup with your meal in some of the fast food places. Was there yesterday and what a rip off :)
