“Yes I’m naming and shaming”

God i love not being on Reddit

McDonalds is especially egregious recently. Time was you could get a set for ¥500 (about 5 dollars) Then suddenly all the menu items went up to ¥700 - ¥800. That starts to get very very close to the alternatives which are much better. The only competitive edge they had was price really.

You voted with your wallet. That's how capitalism is supposed to work.

I grabbed a single burger at Wendy's last weekend and it was $6.50. That was my last trip to Wendy's....I expected half that!

Ah convenience fees. I love paying more money for causing less work. Ticket master, oh these digital tickets that will be distributed immediately will have an extra $14 fee... Per ticket!

It’s literally less work than waiting on a table.

It's not as if they're paying their waitstaff normal minimum wage in most states; tipped employees can be paid less if the tips make up for it.

I'd bet all the cash in my wallet that the tacos were significantly better than anything from Buffalo Wild Wings.

As a non-US citizen, this is a ridiculous greed.

I barely even go out nowadays, I just try and fail to make it myself.

If you are sitting in the restaurant, you are probably paying for some ridiculously overprized drinks as well.

Maybe compare it to ordering the same stuff but picking it up yourself.

I don't know if this is the case everywhere, but here a lot of chains are switching to doordash partnerships, which is just gross. At this point I'll stop ordering delivery/takeout from any chain that does this because I'm just that disgusted by Doordash and Uber.

On the bright side, if you're in a city, usually there are more than enough delivery co-ops or in-house delivery services available that it's not too painful to ditch delivery apps.

Street tacos are going to be better anyways. As good as bww might be, I'll take a truck with a passionate team any day.

I had plenty of sympathy for restaurants when the pandemic first hit. Extra fees? Yeah, I get it, and I'll throw in an extra tip for the workers who are braving the place so that my fat ass can get some delicious food. The problem is that they haven't dialed back the fees/tipping requests. If anything, they've gotten much worse.

Maybe the owner is taking the tips from the servers, and thia is to "compensate" that
