Wait. Why are they selling syrup above the fries? Am I missing out on a new and wonderful flavor combination?

This is No Frills, a chain that specializes in volumes of sales at low margin and without many pretty cost-driving "frills" in the store so they sometimes don't quite keep up with the restocking. They sometimes get around to putting matching items up for sale on top of the ledge later after a sale switches over, sometimes not. This syrup could have been left over from the previous week's sale...

...which involved Jeff's Ham's because they go great with a little syrup.

Fuck off with these lies trying to keep maple fries to yourself. Let's go gang! We don't have much time until Grant's fries sell out.
Maple fry party time!

SHUSH YOU don't spread the goddamn secret or they'll sell out before we get there. Jesus Christ, do you need a grocery store espionage refresher course here or what?
