Why this phrase

Japan Decoded, Kōfuku x Hana, at a restaurant board of set meals. Hana is taking the order. Kōfuku is about to pick 松 because it is listed first. On a 松竹梅 menu, 松 is usually the top price, 竹 the middle, and 梅 the modest one. A few shops flip it, so the yen still wins. The line for the smaller set is 梅でお願いします.
