    Cost of takeout bags, containers, IT, all that jazz, the company believes it should be able to pass on to the customer without raising it’s menu prices. I don’t know it’s a classic “cash grab” so much as a business attempting to recoup as much as it can from a sale. Last time I checked BFF wasn’t doing all that great. But in the end, I agree completely with you in that these Fees are so fucking annoying, one after another, never ending.

      And then we subtract the cost of plates, dishwashers, chairs, menus, tables, IT for their internal POS and seating systems… gosh, sounds like I should be getting a discount!

        Did you submit a handwritten ticket,pay with cash, and order without ever looking at the menu? Did you do so without taking up any time of an employee or occupying any space in their establishment for any amount of time? Did you ask them to just give you all of the raw ingredients in a Togo container without actually cooking anything?

        Of course not, so you used everything you just whined about getting a discount for.

      That’s crap too because of you dine in and have leftovers they don’t charge for a take home container. They didn’t have to wash plates or silverware. It should wash out.

      Yeah, and that was on top of having it “suggest” a 25% tip, which I had to manually type in a custom amt of 0. I’m not tipping for goddamn takeout ffs

        Automatic and compulsory tipping culture in the US for every single thing is just out of control.
