People complain to me about prices ALL THE TIME.
People really get bent out of shape about the beverage prices, and I can definitely understand why, as even I think they're kind of ridiculous. But still, we really aren't any more expensive than any other casual dining chain around. I think a pop is $2.19 or something now. But what people don't get is that is a PER PERSON price. They could sit there for 8 hours and order 27 refills and they still would only pay $2.19.
I had a lady complain yesterday because a coffee and a small milk cost $4.14 after tax...
1. I will certainly pass along your concern (actually I won't), but I cannot do ANYTHING about the prices that CORPORATE mandates!
2. When you go out to eat with other people, it really is more about the socializing than the eating, at least in my opinion. So, you're paying your $4.14 to have some enjoyable social time for an hour or two.
3. If you can't afford it, then drink your coffee and milk AT HOME and order WATER for FREE at restaurants!
4. Whatever you do, DO NOT say, "Well, these prices are so high, I guess I just can't afford to leave my waiter a tip!" (In a snippy voice) It is NOT your server's fault that everything everywhere is costing more these days.
So what if it only costs us 9 cents to pour your pop (that's true, too)??? We are here to make a PROFIT, and beverage prices are probably the easiest way.
