i;m sorry, i'm just not gonna eat out anymore. i know i know it sucks. hahahahahahHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA total restaurant death.

tell us you you're financially illiterate and bad with money without telling us you're financially literate

>>21512945 (OP)
The menu is weird. What is your real issue though? I am confused. Is it surcharges of an insignificant amount? Is this all establishments doing this?

>>21512960
tell me your first sexual experience was with a donkey without telling me you grew up in a trailer.

he doesn't want/can't pay $0.425 for their green beans

>>21512967
it was actually with a massage parlor girl in Guizhou province

>>21512974
they dressed the donkey up like a person? weird fetish. seek help and god.

>i have to pay a surcharge because the owner refuses to update their menu
this should be illegal

>>21512976
everyone has their kinks and niches

>>21512990
so should plate splitting charges, tap water and credit card surcharges, or cash only buisnesses....it's up to the consumer to take their dollar elsewhere, though. Whatever. I'll pay cash only for good BBQ, that's for sure.

>>21512945 (OP)
>limit 5 credit cards
lol literally worse service than a fast food restaurant yet these wagies want a cut of the revenue

why do americans love not telling the FULL price when the consumer makes the purchasing decision without having to do extra math

you could just legislate that nonsense away

>>21513008
We do it specifically to trigger outrage against the outrageous gubmint taxes. It's an american tradition.

>>21513008
many believe all regulation is le bad and defer to corporations for every decision
it is cucked

I'm a midwit flyover hillbilly, I've never been to a place that forced one check per table. For what purpose?

>>21512945 (OP)
mmm I want my greens extra wilted!

who pays at a restaurant with a check?

>>21512995
>cash only buisnesses
cash-only is fine as long as they pass the savings onto the customer

>>21513020
It's probably owned by a psycho

how would they realistically catch someone who stole a boomer's checkbook and writes a bad check once at each tasty restaurant on the planet?

>>21513035
one check per table means on bill. e.g. they won't break the bill into multiple values so you can split the check. probably because their staff is too stupid to do math.
blame mexicans

>>21513044
isn't it just a scam to make the tip bigger because it's a percentage of total?

>>21513074
no, that's not how percentages work. you could split a check a billion ways and the total tip across all the checks will be the same, up until they start rounding on pennies.
e.g.
10% of $100 is 10 dollars
10% of $50 is 5 dollars

>>21513081
you fell for my bait i've made a fool of you online

>>21512945 (OP)
>anymore
You didn't stop going out to eat the instant you learned how to cook for yourself (e.g. before you moved out of your parents' house)? >>21512960 is correct, even if not for the right reasons
>but what about dates?
Teaching your girl how to make a delicious dessert and assist you with the main course is WAY more fun for both parties than taking pictures of some mediocre fad food

>>21512945 (OP)
Then the prices on the list are wrong, they should add the 4.25% to the price of every item. What is this shit? Hey the sides are 10 bucks, by the way 2 dollars are added to the price if the sides so it's not ten bucks it's 12

How are you planning to steal a checkbook? I haven’t ordered a checkbook in over 10 years but couldn’t you just order one with a fake account number (not that I’m suggesting you do that)?

>>21512995
>cash only buisnesses
It's card only buisnesses that should be illegial

>>21512945 (OP)
Restaurants don't rely on poor people. There are enough rich people out there they can keep operating at whatever price they set. That and poor people still go out for birthdays, anniversaries and company functions. They don't care about your $6 of profit you give them once a week. They make that off one rich guys drink lmao

Isn't it straight up illegal to not include surcharges in the price?

>>21513451

How do you pay one check with 5 credit cards?

>i'm just not gonna eat out anymore.
good, one less slobbering poor to muck up the place.

>>21513035
restaurants don't take checks anymore.

Why do people have mental break downs about not buying pre cooked food from places?

How is cooking at home something you have to force yourself to do as some form of rebellion?

>>21513008
>Wahh save me mr government I need more laws

Pathetic

>>21514012
Because restaurants provide a service of convenience. When that service isn't worth the price cooking at home is a better option.

stp
SUPID FUCKING POORS

>>21514022
>you don't want to pay 13 bucks for some green beans that cost 50 cents to make? You must be poor!
Cucked mentality letting them walk all over you

>>21514029
And how much would you like to be paid to cook food for a bunch of lazy ungrateful assholes who bitch about the price of everything? More than $15 an hour Id bet. Well guess what bud?

>>21512945 (OP)
>4.25% surcharge
Thats when I walk out, and its just cost you a table you would have had the four of us at that you cannot fill at short notice.
>one check per table
Fair. If you invite people out or book a table, you should be able to pay for everyone then get the money back. I see it regular that people ask for the bill to be split at the end too, not at the beginning, when everything has already been ran through the till. If you are too poor to cover the cost of a table and get the money back from your fiends, stay at home.

>>21514039
Id want at least £42 an hour, because that's how much I make, so it would be a waste of my time to work for less. If someone who's station in life is cooking green beans could earn that much, they wouldn't be cooking green beans.

>>21514056
The average restaurant profit margin is 5% after all cost anon and the guy who is cooking the green beans won't do it for less than 15 which means there's a hard line as to what they have to price shit to not go broke. So unless you want that restaurant staff to be homeless I suggest you quit your bitching and pay the ask. Or stay your ass at home. If their profit margin was 50 percent or higher you might have a legit complaint but it isn't and you don't

>>21514063
>average restaurant profit margin is 5%
why do people open restaurants? are they stupid?

>>21513431
That's funny watching all those empty restaurants fall appart and close, sure the real fancy ones stay open forever but so do the cheap ones. Anything else? It's just a matter of time

>>21515538
>are they stupid?
Yes. Which in turn is why they can't run a restaurant well enough to make money.

>>21512945 (OP)
>I know I know it sucks

Dude, why the fuck do we care? Why are you apologizing?
Don't eat out then. NO ONE GIVES A FUCK.

Fucking retards on here. WTF?

>>21514010
Which restaurants? I still write checks when I eat out. I don't eat at fast food though so that's probably what you mean. That's where you eat.

>>21513044
Quit defending splitting your bill six ways. You can figure that out amongst yourselves at the table and pay the one bill like adults.

>>21513008
Literally unions

I don't get why everyone always talks about how much they love unions when all the inconvenient shit in this country is caused by them

>>21512945 (OP)
Must suck living in a shithole country. I don't have the problems you have so I'm happy with life.

>Restaurants don't rely on poor people. There are enough rich people out there they can keep operating at whatever price they set.

That's not true at all for the vast majority of restaurants. Most restaurants rely on being affordable for the middle class.

>>21513020
My guess? Credit card fees. They take a hit on every transaction so they're probably just cheap and don't want to split it.

>>21513020
Pretty much any small business that has a draconian arbitrary rule, the owner had one bad experience and went ballistic and made a vow and will die on that hill

Probably a party of 5 spent 45 minutes squabbling over what percent goes to whom'st and what percent to tip and they decided that was enough of that

>>21512995
>plate splitting charges
WHAT charges? Are there restaurants that charge you for sharing food with other people at the table?

>>21512974
Yeah he said donkey

amazing thread

>>21512995
Cash is the last stand of freedom and mouth breathing zoomers are killing it off. Lazy fucking retards.

>>21512990
But they had to update the menu to reflect the surcharge
