The date/time format should be the international standard yyyy-mm-dd tttt zz
where yyyy is year, mm is month, dd is day, tttt is time,
and zz is time-zone.

John sir:

I have NOT been in business; BUT promotional sense would demand the right
PRICE for the right product. Crowd at McDonald shall resent, I feel.
Why deprive them or give the people a sense that they are being cheated?
Instead, make the product weighing 100 g/125 g and charge for 100 g/125 g.
This way both promotion value and liking the product/teaching aspect shall
go in harmony rather than cause dissent!
