*RANT* Restaurants that charge $2 for a glass of soda

[Atlantean]

Who cares its 2 bucks. Do you want them to give it to you at cost? How will they make a profit then? Whats the point of being in business if you are only making pennies? Besides most places give free refills anyways.

lol, $2 for a pop is too much? Boy, I'd be happy if it was $2.

Yeah. We went to a place the other day while driving up from Southern Oregon.. glass of soda was 1.75 with only one refill. :frown:

We were kinda like.. wtf?

You can get like a 64oz fountain drink at 7-11 or Plaid Pantry for $1.40.

Yes but 7-11 isn't a restaurant. You can argue that you can get a 2L of Coke for under $1 if you want to talk about Big Gulps or whatnot. $2 for a soda isn't that uncommon here in Dallas.

Why isn't anyone b1tching about beer prices? $3 for a domestic brew that for twice that much, you could buy an entire 6 pack at the store?

next thread topic, why 2 liter cokes cost less than 1 liter and 20ouncers in some cases in your grocery store.

i got disinterested half way through, instead of bitching, why don't you show your cheppie side in public and actually ask the waiter/waitress how much pop/soda is, then ask why the price is not listed.. blah blah. make a scene. and during dinner if your steak has strainds of curly hair on it, you deserved it.

i'll bet you don't even order side items, because they cost "too much" sorry i dun have much sympathy for you..

If you're worried about the cost of your drink you probably should just consider taking your date to mcdonalds and letting her pick 2 items off the dollar menu next time.

Soda costs more in restaurants. Guess what, a can of soda from the vending machine at school costs more than a 2 liter at the grocery store too!

Just spend the $2 and have an enjoyable meal when you go out to eat you cheapskate

best bang for the buck, least profit for the restaurant is proabaly most of AT's motto (at least in Hot Deals).

top 3 food costs (just food, no labor, rent, etc) for mcdonald's dollar menu is:
Big N tasty - $0.62
side salad - .53
parfait - .43

most profit-> soda $0.11

thats why i just buy the big n tasty, and go back to my desk at lunch w/my 2liter soda in the fridge

but i'm digressing from the topic...
