    I don’t live in america, I can only source prices and facts that are local to me.

    What about the cost of eating in, because I don’t think you’re considering the price of cleaning and serving.

    Can we factor in napkins? Again pennies. These are things they already have in the restaurant, along with sauces so that is already in the price of the business. The company doesn’t need to give you cutlery, so take that out but if you want to include it again, barely anything. Being generous let’s say it costs them a grand total of 0.30 cents, they’re still making a profit. Takeout costs are minimal. I’m not arguing a company can’t charge, they can do whatever they want it’s their business but saying it’s to cover the cost of containers/napkins/cutlary it’s just plain wrong.

    Why are we bringing up grammar? I never attacked you for grammar, that’s pretty shitty All I asked was for you to clarify how I was wrong, because just saying “you’re wrong” isn’t really selling me on it

      Haha I didn’t know that restaurant take out was an American topic. Some people…
      Anyways, I 100% agree with you. These containers cost pennies, not dollars. From a business standpoint having take out containers is part of overhead i.e what you absolutely need to be in a functional business. Some restaurants are trying to flex their overhead and turn it into a profit maker.

      “You know what, those containers that we’ve been providing for free since forever ago, let’s start charging a 150% markup on the container and start making money on them!”

      I agree comrade. Fuck anyone who tries to turn a profit.

      Edit: and I never brought up grammar. I brought up you trying to use a phrase you clearly don’t understand.

        What are you talking about? I literally just said I don’t care. The company can charge whatever they want just like people can choose not to eat there
