For me it’s not so much about the price but the servings you get for that price.
I guess everybody stops at Whataburger but the thickness of the meat Pattie’s have turned me off from going there.

The easy solution is only to eat at high-end restaurants. These things aren't issues. Plus you can make reservations, have better food, better service, and with a better clientele, it just makes dining out a better experience. Go fewer times, but pick nicer places.
What a maroon!

I nominate this thread for this year's petty award. Good grief... if you can't afford to eat out & tip, then cook for yourself.  Seems like a no-win situation for restaurant owners these days with food prices, labor shortages, and having to deal with people who just like to complain.

So what is the threshold for a charge? An egg would be a charge, cheese would be a charge, what level of give away is expected? I have never charged for rinky dink stuff like that or extra dressings etc. That said I fully get why places do it. People like our ranch dressing, I don't mind throwing an extra side of ranch on something but I recently had a lady want 6...... at what point are extra charges acceptable? I'm asking out of curiosity not to argue. By the way, water cups cost me .15 each...... if a customer asked for 25 pickles --- what say you

Paid $15 for a burger, onion rings and a drink the other day. It was very good at least. If i could only eat for 15 at Five Guys i would Be Happy, Happy 5guys is the biggest burger rip off I’ve ever been to.

So what is the threshold for a charge? An egg would be a charge, cheese would be a charge, what level of give away is expected? I have never charged for rinky dink stuff like that or extra dressings etc. That said I fully get why places do it. People like our ranch dressing, I don't mind throwing an extra side of ranch on something but I recently had a lady want 6...... at what point are extra charges acceptable? I'm asking out of curiosity not to argue. By the way, water cups cost me .15 each...... Not sure your 3rd question was answered even though rhetorical but as a business owner you can choose to charge for the extra (1) or all (6). The sense of entitlement by people still baffles me. Anyone who has never owned a business or been responsible for the operational day-to-day or P&L have no clue. "Why are you charging me .15 for water? That doesn't cost you anything." In that case ma'am our restroom is out of order to you. There is a tendency for people to see every dollar they spend as profit for the business. I have heard 1000 times the glass of tea only cost you a dime. That is a narrow view of things. It all adds up on a P and L. The napkins, the paper towels in the bathroom, the soap, the guy who washes the glass or in my case the cup. The Splenda, the lemons, the electric bill, the labor to make the tea, etc etc. And don't forget they will ask for a togo cup and get a refill to take back to the office.... I have always said that a person will buy a new car and get screwed out of 1000s and continue to buy a new car from the same dealer time and time again but if they think you stuck them with a quarter on their lunch they will hate you forever. This post is an example of that. I think there was a time where places were so desperate for business and did make so much money they didn't care. Now it's changed a bit and the consumer is gonna see more of it. Ie credit card fees etc. I was at a place recently that charged 3 bucks of an extra plate if you are sharing a meal. Good points Wawi, I haven't read the whole thread but there are other costs I didn't see mentioned that people don't think about, salt and pepper shakers that come up missing, missing forks and knives, broken drinking glasses and plates, bartenders over pouring or serving top shelf liquor and charging for house to get bigger tips, servers finding ways to steal money. Ect ect.... It all adds up.
