Why would they charge 50 cents extra if an egg costs 50 cents in the
supermarket (and probably less for them)? It's not as if eggs were
free before this egg crisis.

Because they can.  I've been to Waffle House twice.  The first time I
ordered waffles.  Very disappointing.  Given the name, I had high
expectations.

I guess I saved myself some disappointment by not stopping to eat at the
one we passed on a road trip. I can't say I am surprised. I think I have
posted here before about how disappointed pancakes have been at pancake
specialty restaurants. One should expect that when a restaurant
specializes in a particular type of food they should be good.  They
could at least be mediocre. They should not be bad.

 
IHOP.  They use outlandish toppings to disguise the mediocrity of
their pancakes.  Chocolate-strawberry pancakes.  New York Cheesecake
pancakes.  Chocolate Chocolate-Chip pancakes.  Mexican Tres Leches
Pancakes:  layered with vanilla sauce and dulce de leche caramel
sauce and crowned with whipped topping.
 
Gack.
 

Yeah, another example of pancake specialty places making horrible
pancakes and sausages. If they specialize in them you should be able to
expect them to be good, not horrible. They are cheap and easy to make,
and they certainly charge a lot.  Any time I go to a breakfast place I
am stunned at the prices they charge for a couple pancakes.
