    Hey, look at our cheap food!

    Oh, btw, we didn’t tell you, but it’s actually 18% more expensive than the prices on the menu.

    Also, it’s $10 extra for the plates and silverware.

    And we also charge you for eating in as well, that’s another $10.

    And if you don’t tip on top of that, we get really angry.

    Please leave a 5 star review!

      Some areas actually have different pricing for eating in vs taking out, as it’s treated differently by the tax laws. Some areas also tax differently based on if it’s cold or hot/cooked food, so a toasted sandwich costs a bit more than an untoasted one. Very small differences, though.

        Yeah, my post was a bit of hyperbole, but I’ve been to a fancy restaurant a while ago, where they did make you pay for cutlery and also for the table separately.

        But they didn’t have a take-away option.

      I was talking about service charge, not tips.

        American waiters get paid, Parisian ones do it for the pleasure of serving their fellow man.
