It must be a sign of inflation.
For the first time since they opened in Westwood in 1983, Diddy Riese's ice cream cookie sandwiches have gone up in price. The store, which sells ice cream sandwiched between two cookies to UCLA students, put up signs warning customers of the price increase about two weeks ago. The cookie sandwiches went up by a whopping 25%. Okay, so they went from $1 to $1.25, and that's still pretty cheap for an ice cream sandiwch.
According to the Daily Bruin, students were disappointed by the price hike, but understand that it had to be done. Besides, a quarter is not a big deal. It probably won't affect how often a student goes in for a late-night snack. The owner believes customers are more concerned because it was so easy to simply lay down a dollar bill. Now it's a dollar bill and a quarter.
The way I see it, customers can now put down two dollar bills and get back three quarters - perfect change for doing laundry!
