"We're sorry we served you slop. We'll do it right going forward."
No thank you.
A restaurant opened in my town just a few months before COVID hit. I ate there; it was very nice and I planned to return. But then COVID hit, and everything closed up. Absolutely terrible timing for the owner. They were shut down for months but eventually managed to reopen — but they decided to re-open as a high-end restaurant with top quality dishes. I like that stuff very much, so I went. Well, the wait staff was new, and inexperienced and terrible. The food was awful. I mean: really bad. And the prices had probably tripled. I never had any intention of going back, and they closed for good not long afterwards.
smaller portions? so now ill have to order 3 to get what used to be one? heck with that. Im a large dude, when I’m hungry I want to eat and not have to go get another because the portion wasnt sufficient.
The article completely ignores the role that a high minimum wage plays in inflating fast food prices. Smaller serving sizes won’t help costs much because the labor required is almost the same.
Also, while inflation has been bad in the food sector, it has hit worse for staples like ground beef and eggs.
