  • How did the sub total become $53.96?

    Breadsticks and cinnamon sticks we $27.96??

    Otherwise, did they do hidden fees in the subtotal, on top of the already hidden fees?

    Y’all need some better laws in the states.

    There is (off the top of my head) only three types of extra charges in Australia for consumers:

    1. transaction fees (provided the lowest you can possibly pay, even with transaction fees, is advertised. i.e. if you accept card only the minimum fee is included in your advertised price)
    2. delivery fees (but strictly speaking you ought to advertise “+delivery fees” in your listed price, and only if it’s variable. And finally,
    3. surcharges based on time. But again, you need to advertise this prominently ahead of payment.

    If I were really splitting hairs some restaurants and cafes that do weekend surcharges reeeeally ought to put it on the front cover of their menus, not just at the till.

    Anyway, what you have in comparison is maddening.

    Taxes? Yeah, that should be in the prices. “Fees”?? Yeah, that’s part of the price, bud.

    Absolute yikes.


















  • Realistically, how far are you from the shops? And would it 1. Take any longer for you to just walk there to pick it up? 2. Do you often NEED to save the extra time it takes to get there and back?

    If the answers to both are mostly no, then just don’t use delivery and call ahead and get pickup instead. Going for a walk is great!

    I used to live 25-30 minute round trip from the shops, still never ordered delivery because it’s not any faster (usually slower), not sure why people are willing to pay extra for it, and screw over the restaurants in the process.

    Would actually like to know other’s point of view on this.
