Have you ever stopped to think what could be inside a $1 sandwich?

>economies of scale

Really?

>>13358047
>SCONTO

I have a lot of coupon shenanigans receipts.

>>13358096

>>13358090
Wtf these prices are subhuman

>>13358093
not just any sandwich...we're talking about a McChicken

>>13358095
Yep, that’s the reason why I use TheFork.

Also because it keeps me from having to talk on the phone to book at the restaurant and I also can book during the night.

>>13358053
Euro here: so you order and at the end they tell you the total + taxes or you know exactly how much you pay before?
This shit triggers my anxiety btw

>>13358090
>1 LG Water
>$12
This can't be real

>>13358138
Pretty much what you said. You just need to be aware that sales tax is added into the total, so you need a bit extra on top of the listed price. Where I live it's 8 percent, so if something is listed as 1.00, your total is 1.08.

>>13358138
yes. but i can math in my head so i know within a few pennies how much my total will be.

>>13358090
These people either are larping as Italians or it’s a fake receipt made by an idiot.

Look at the fucking errors in the receipt:

>spagheti
>milanesa
>parmesan
>mozarella

>>13358197
>>13358203
Is it always like this for every good or just food? Like if I go to the restaurant I need to do the math for every dish I order if I want to know if I can eat with the money inside my pockets?

>>13358217
Food that has not been prepared for you and clothes arnt taxed. However everything else, pretty much. And you gotta know what state you're in. PA here, 6%. Delaware 0%

>>13358217
yes. all states have a sales tax. some items are not taxable, though. i'm in Texas. our state sales tax is 6.5%. in harris county, there is a 2% sales tax. so i pay 8.25% sales tax on most purchases. the county tax does not apply to vehicle purchases. so if i buy a vehicle, i pay 6.25% sales tax even if purchased in harris county. i think most fresh produce isn't taxed. other staples aren't taxed.

>>13358228
clothing is taxed in Texas. George Bush Jr was able to pass a 'tax holiday' on certain items of clothing for back to school time when he was governor. it's still in effect to this day.

>>13358247

It also depends on where you are at in the states. It varies by state and sometimes by county and City

>>13358278
>steers and queers
Hmm, I think we can safely assume your category.

>>13358166
The prices at Nello have been infamous for years, you can get the wine they serve at Publix and the Acqua Panna water is like $3 for a liter

Seen you post this, why are you so proud of it

>>13358242
Oregon doesn’t have a sales tax

>>13358107
34 euro for pineapple?

>>13358242
>all states have a sales tax

>>13358090

Those prices are retarded. I've never been to Nello's but I would recommend trying Olio e Piú and Via Carota. They're both quality Italian restaurants for a fraction of the cost of that shit Nello's.

>>13359106
But do those places also crackdown on hookers?

what is The Boss

>>13359093
2 x 17€

It was an elaborate dessert (pic related + 2 pieces missing in the plate) with ultra thin slices of pineapple worked as “ravioli” and filled with other elaborated things.

It was fantastic btw, even if pricey.

>>13358047
PROTIP ----> When totalling your credit card slip, write the tip amount in words, not numbers. This prevents innocent misinterpretation and less innocent manipulation. It's fairly easy for a server to change, for example, a 1 to a 4. But changing 'one' to anything is pretty difficult.

Harold's is not related.

>>13359157
>protip on tips

>>13359159
Lol, yeah, I guess. But over my way-too-fucking long restaurant career, I've fired a lot of servers for fucking with credit card tips. Very few people check their receipts so the thieves get away with it for a while. Then we get the phone call from Karen who just balanced her checkbook and discovered a 5 dollar overcharge and is raising hell.

who the fuck drink cappuccino during a dinner?

>>13358090
white truffles are expensive, but not THAT expensive.
during a normal year the one from Alba costs like 250/300 euros for 100 grams.
with that amount you can make tagliolini and carpaccio for 10 people.
Alba truffle is the most valuable one, but you can find truffles from other italian regions or even eastern europe that is a lot cheaper, and most people wouldn't even tell the difference.

>>13359512
And germans

>>13359514
Are you people in this thread incredibly retarded? It’s the price for 3 of them

>>13359499
For some reason Americans think of cappuccino as an after dinner drink rather than a breakfast drink which is what it is

>>13359154

>>13358047
what's this, a spanish restaurant in italy?

>>13360246
Mostly, the owner lived in Spain for years and when he returned home he has opened that place heavily influenced by Spanish cuisine. It’s rather good.

>>13359752
5 bites but yes I said it was expensive, it was expected in that place so I didn’t care.

>>13360377
Is that any different? Still not breakfast or a snack.

>>13360690
If you don't see a difference between lunch and dinner why see a difference between breakfast and dinner? Fucking mongoloid next time just check the time on the paper. It's not even in burger time jesus fuck.

>>13360691
You’re the mongoloid if you can’t grasp the difference between breakfast and the two main lunches of the day, mutt.
It’s even worse because probably these people started the day eating fat garbage like sausage, eggs and bacon with a 1 gallon of “coffee” to make everything worse.

Cappuccino is a lot of milk + espresso, you drink it at the beginning of the day because it gives you calories and energy, or else as a snack between lunch and evening...but alone, maybe with a sweet not after a full lunch with 3 bottles of wine.
Don’t you dare to ever call me again a mongoloid you subhuman garbage.

>>13360774
The only mongoloid here is the one who didn't even bother to check the time clearly listed on the paper before sperging out about when people drink cappuccino's. And then this mongoloid decided to double down, after being wrong twice. If being wrong bothers you so much maybe don't be wrong.

>>13360789
Is this what public schools does to your people?

You enter the restaurant at 12:30/13:00 for lunch, maybe it’s a business lunch considered the kind of place where you discuss some important shit that takes a while, then you have a full multi course complete meal and since you’re not a turkey that has to be force fed for thanksgiving then you don’t eat everything in 10 minutes, right?

This can explain why the receipt was printed at 14:40, and this doesn’t imply that people finished eating at that time,
It means that when the receipt was printed from the Jewish piano the current time was 14:40.

I hope that this post helped your IQ growing by 1 point at least, and if not well at least there wasn’t a public school shooting to interrupt us!

>>13361469
>that random free stuff

>>13361501
Nope, we don’t have to tip. You pay the “coperto” which includes the service per person and the bread, in some places like that one unlimited water too.

>>13358090
>2 espressos

What the actual fuck?

>>13358636

>>13361534
>unlimited water
What kind of fucked up shit is charging someone for water? Do you also demand money to breathe your air or shit in your toilet?

>>13358138
How does it work in europe then?

>>13358138
At least there's no upcharge for fucking water.

>>13362469
Every single price includes taxes.

Depending on the receipt (commercial, restaurant, store, ecc..) you would see the total inc. taxes or you see the total and the taxes, then the sum equals the single price of every dish/product.

Otherwise you just see the % of tax next to the price included taxes like here >>13359196

TL;DR: it’s the opposite of what happens in USA, every price is tax included so you pay exactly the sum of the prices “as they appear” on the menu

>Joe Lentini said when he ordered a bottle of wine at Bobby Flay Steak at Atlantic City's Borgata, he thought it cost $37.50. It really cost $3,750.

>"I asked the waitress if she could recommend something decent because I don't have experience with wine," Lentini said. "She pointed to a bottle on the menu. I didn't have my glasses. I asked how much and she said, 'Thirty-seven fifty.'"

What would you do?

>>13362517
Restaurants can’t serve tap water, they bring you bottled water and you pay for it. It’s not expensive, usually 1.50/2.00€ per bottle.

If restaurant managers were smart they would raise the “coperto” to hide the water cost and include “free” water, but they don’t do this for some reason.

>>13362547
>What would you do?

Bring my own wine from home.

I’ve been to a one star Michelin restaurant and we brought our bottles from home since it was possible, they charged 5€ per bottle and the waiters filled our glasses too.

It’s the right choice.

>>13358228
I'm looking to move to PA from Delaware, this is going to fuck me up for a while

>>13362566
>usually 1.50/2.00€ per bottle

That's still a lot of money.

>>13362837
Is 1€ per person a lot of money? You don’t drink 1 liter of water alone, you split it with other people and if it’s not enough you order another bottle.

With that said it’s an useless consideration because we should compare the final price paid for the same meal in different countries to see if it is “a lot”, you can’t reason on crude numbers but then again nothing is free, not even the breadsticks at Olive Garden, their price is included in every other dish price to the public...it’s basic economics.

Our restaurants chose to let us pay for the water to keep food prices lower (we have a restaurant every 20 meters I’m not joking) so people don’t label them expensive, that’s why “free” water is a thing mostly reserved to more expensive places, because if you eat there you don’t mind paying good money while normies in normie tier restaurants Jew on 1-2€ of a dish.

>>13362872
For example see this >>13358107
It’s a high level restaurant where you spend on average 70€ for an amuse bouche + 2 courses + dessert, wine and water in an exclusive place and as you see you pay 3€ per bottle of water which is twice the price of water in normal restaurants but when we ordered 7 coffees they were “free” (you don’t see them on the receipt) and they also brought us mini assorted patisserie biscuits.

It’s marketing, the customer feel like he has been pampered by the restaurant owner who is a generous man and he gave you free thing (also because you spent a lot of money) but the truth is that many times if not almost always it’s just marketing as I said. They know they have costs covered so they can do this.

There are also truly generous people who really offer you free things because they want to keep you as a customer or because they like you, but if you pay attention they always offer you a shot of a random liquor or amaro. If you order a shot and pay they usually cost 3 to 5€ each one, with 3 to 5 shots they already covered the price of the bottle and the rest is pure earned money for them.
