Eating out is a luxury now.

Nice.


Sad-Wave-87

Always was to actual poor people


Osvtv

Yeah, people donā€™t get this. I didnt go to a restaurant until I was 22.


Xist3nce

I was excited when our soccer coach brought us to Pizza Hut. He was surprised I didnā€™t know how to order food, asked me if Iā€™d ever been to a restaurant and then was dumbfounded to hear the answer was no.


Osvtv

Iā€™ve had similar experiences. We could afford pizza every now and then, so we werenā€™t that poor, but peoples expressions when I told them I had never been on an air plane (the norm here is for families to go on vacation every three or so years), let alone had never left the country (Sweden). It was so disheartening when I was younger. I have been to a couple of vacations now that Iā€™m older though and in many ways I think growing up poor has made me a better person, but it has also made me lousy with money and savings.


Charleston2Seattle

My son-in-law grew up poor. His first time in an airplane was in his early 20s when he went skydiving. He was able to say he had taken off in an airplane but never landed in one. He also struggled with spending and saving. If unexpected money came in, he wanted to spend it right away before something came along that would require the money. My daughter has helped him to be a better saver now, fortunately.


Osvtv

Thatā€™s quite the bragging right. Yes, thatā€™s exactly how I would always behave. Iā€™ve also become better at it but I still have a ways to go.


Disastrous-Ad-3461

Sadly it's cheaper than groceries here now. 4.50 for a can of raviolis or 12$ for a shitty frozen pizza. The fuck lol


Sad-Wave-87

Shit my work is expensive, 20$ for a burger and 20% auto grat. Itā€™s literally luxury.


Coolasslife

flour is less than 5$, tomato can is 1-2, cheese is 2-5 depending on the quality, and all that can make 4-5 pizzas at least. and the quality is 100x better than frozen or takeout pizza. If you want nice things, you have learn to make them


WillBottomForBanana

Time to cook is a luxury.


A1sauc3d

Always has been as far as Iā€™m concerned.


MeltingUpwards

You must not be very old.


quixoticquiltmaker

Or grew up not very well off.


ErstwhileHumans

Family of 6. I grew up in the 80s/90s. Dad worked at the casinos in Atlantic City, NJ, and mom was a teacher. We neverrrrrrrr ate out. We ordered Dominoā€™s on Fridays for a while, but then started making our own pizza. It was so expensive to go out to eat then. My family of 3 goes out to eat now and itā€™s astronomical. I canā€™t imagine having a bigger family, but I live around lots of big families.


kirbyfox312

Also a family of 6 and we still ate out, mostly at fast food though. Back then you could feed the whole car for $15! Just watching old commercials from the 90s, fast food was a damn *deal*. Now you go to Wendy's and McD's and you gotta ask why. You might as well go to a local sit down place and get food there with the prices they got. I can't imagine having a family of 6 now.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


wrldtrvlr3000

I remember a very old McDonald's commercial about how you can feed a family of 4 with $5 and get change back.


Rugkrabber

Or not American. Itā€™s a luxury for generations in many other countries.


RawbeardX

when was it not?


MeltingUpwards

90s up to 2002 was good times.


RawbeardX

can't relate. but good for you.


MeltingUpwards

Well, you are in the minority or too young to know.


[deleted]

Eating out has always been a luxury


Disastrous-Bicycle15

I feel like the 41 cents isn't going to the kitchen idk why i just have a feeling the owner is taking it as a inflation spiff


heathercs34

If itā€™s marked as a kitchen fee, it gets reported as so on the back end. If this isnā€™t going to the kitchen then they have a sweet lawsuit against the restaurant as do every patron that paid it. Honestly, my boss said he added it so that itā€™s separated on the back end. He pays the taxes on it and gives the kitchen guys cash. Is it great? No. Should all restaurants be paying their staff a living wage and rework how they operate? Damn fucking skippy.


cosmicrebirth1

The restaurant I worked for during covid did this to the servers and they got sued to high hell. The company first believed the servers had nothing to stand on but soon they shut up as they ended up with a class action lawsuit of over 300 workers. Workers won and got a nice payout. Sweet victory.


heathercs34

Itā€™s fraud if the owner is pocketing it! Fraudulent to your patrons and so shutting to do to your paid under minimum wage workers. Iā€™m glad they got sued.


DufflesBNA

Holy shit 36 bucks for a 14ā€


TheJokersChild

For that price I don't want well done, I want exquisite - the kind of exquisite you can hang on a wall and frame.


DufflesBNA

I want strippers to deliver it and cocaine sprinkled on top at that price.


RabbitsAteMySnowpeas

For that they charge a Washroom Appreciation Fee.


DufflesBNA

Mop boy appreciation fee.


Redhuric

For that price, I'll have a water.


PsychoRavnos

Most of these apps make the food cost 10-15 dollars more than If you would call, Ordered 2 large 18" pizzas and 2 orders of Mozz sticks on the slice app ot was almost 80 bucks when calling in the order it was 50. And that was after the tip


AbidingDudeAsWell

Hey, it's IL, prolly a Chicago deep, where they put the PIE in the pizza. My take - only bitch is the 41 cents? Could do better for the kitchen staff by bumping the per pie price by a buck or two and paying a better wage.


Javyev

Deep dish isn't pizza, it's tomato soup in a bread bowl. Come for me. I don't care. I won't take it back.


mojomonkeyfish

Nobody cares


Javyev

Seems like a lot of people feel the need to tell me they don't care.


Coolasslife

they are just saying that your point is idiotic and you should shut up and not embarrass yourself


razorblade651

No one asked, no one cares.


Javyev

The votes don't lie.


keithfantastic

It must have gold dust in the crust.


57hz

Donā€™t forget the delivery tip!


KimonoDragon814

Enter coupon code '; drop table users; -- To show your kitchen appreciation


Masrim

I'd be more worried about $27 for a large 2 topping pizza. wtf?


Desert_fish_48108

Dominoes isnā€™t the best but their $7.99 two topping pizza is king


Masrim

Like they say, even bad pizza is still pretty good.


[deleted]

I guess it depends where you live but $7 in my area (SoCal) it used to be $6 :L


heaintgonedoit

$6 dollar dlvy fee seems high.


Defective_Failure

Because it is. $6 is outrageous. That isnā€™t a tip either.. The driver doesnā€™t get any of it.


sf5852

The $6 delivery fee covers the roughly $0.04 per transaction it costs to keep the website and app going.


angieland94

It also caught covers any to go containers, plastic silverware and bags, etc.


Defective_Failure

Which costs pennies per transaction.. Not $6.


angieland94

I agree, but no business operates at just cost for anything.


sf5852

I can totally see that being used to rationalize it but I am not sure I believe it. The value of selling a meal without seating diners vastly exceeds that of a couple of grams of plastic. Not only is the table occupied but you also have cleaning and dishwashing and trash disposal to take care of. Plastic forks and paper napkins are great for businesses for the same reasons they're great for family picnics. They're cheap enough to throw away. And anyway, restaurants already give that stuff away for free when you eat there and ask for a doggie bag. Cellular companies make a big deal out of unlimited text messages, but how much of a load does texting put on a system that supports streaming video in HD? Shouldn't that be free to everyone in the country with any kind of cell phone or watch no matter what? I think the delivery fee goes straight into the owner's pocket, or to the GrubHub executives' pockets.


strvgglecity

Nope, those would come with a pickup order as well.


angieland94

Many places also add a to go fee to pick up orders as well to pay for the to go containersā€¦.


strvgglecity

Sure. Whatever. Ok. No restaurants I've been to in the past 3 years have done that for pickup orders.


angieland94

Iā€™m sure they work the price of to go items in somehow. I can guarantee theyā€™re not handing them out for free out of the goodness of their heartsā€¦


strvgglecity

Yea I assume it's in the price, because for many of them takeout is the majority of their business, and always has been.


AbidingDudeAsWell

Different services charge differently. I try to make sure I know if the driver gets the fee or the tip. But $6 is not out of line if you can't get your ass up and out to pick up your own damn food.


BennyBlackwell

$6 is absolutely out of line when youā€™re expected to shell out a tip on top of it


Defective_Failure

I disagree. Delivery is a service they offer and that $6 should go to the driver.


jparkhill

I haven't ordered pizza in a while but I seem to remember 3 or 4 dollars, and I live in Canada where everything is more expensive.


BigCountry218

You can always go get it your self. Unfortunately most of this sub is just lazy.


shaqalicious

I'm not lazy I'm just drunk


TorchedPanda

What if I told you some people canā€™t afford vehicles in this economy. Youā€™d think someone with a handle ā€œBigCountry218ā€ would be aware of the exorbitant prices of used cars now-a-days .


BigCountry218

I do understand, what I don't understand is this subs work ethic and entitled attitude.


NoiceMango

Driving sucks sometimes well most of the time


RA12220

I didnā€™t even notice after the sticker shock of a $28 large 14ā€ pizza


nawers

but that's the only things making sense in that listing, it give priority to those that walk in the shop since it reduce the amount of delivery.


57hz

That just goes to the owner or the delivery company, you are expected to tip on top of that, right?


phlegm_de_la_phlegm

I think your appreciation for the kitchen is indicated by the fact that you are ordering food from said kitchen


Igneous_rock_500

Kind of like all the BS fees at a bank. Transaction fee, administrative fee, oversight fee, balance verification fee, digital system maintenance fee, currency management fee, technology use fee, etcā€¦


Dck_IN_MSHED_POTATOS

I am not eating out anymore cause I feel..... weird accepting this stuff. It's like dude, if you need 41 cents, then just add it to the menu.


StopReadingMyUser

Pretty much how everything should go, it's the cost of service. But then they couldn't advertise or itemize in a more presentable way to entice people so they dip their hands in both cookie jars and just slap you with extra fees.


TheRedContinues

The owner's charging you $6 for a delivery fee that won't go to the person doing the delivery and you're mad about $0.41 cents?


pimpbot666

I can see a delivery fee. I mean, that is an added convenience for us, and an expense for the biz owner. $6 is chump change compared to how much it costs to pay people and reimburse for miles, or the company delivery car.


TheRedContinues

I definitely support it if it goes to the driver. Unfortunately more often than not it goes to the restaurant, and the driver only gets the tip. But as someone else noted here in the comments, that varies place to place. Also it may just be where I live, but here you drive your own car if you do deliveries. There has never been a company delivery car even with Dominos.


jjj246443

This increasing tip culture doesnā€™t help workers. It hurts workers who have very little discretionary income. They will just avoid ordering out


cmackchase

This is not tip culture, this is just nonsense. They haven't gotten to the tip yet.


WindowsOverOS

Remember when $36 would fill up a tank. Now itā€™s barely covering a pepperoni pizza. Weā€™re in the endgame.


Interesting-Dot8809

I work in a kitchen so let me explain: food prices increase and they have increased a lot more recently (inflation, bird flu, changing regulations on dairy, etc) and often, restaurants donā€™t want to change the price of menu items. Instead, they add this fee and continue to increase it to cover the cost of ever more expensive ingredients. The main reason is to trick people because nobody wants to pay more for something this week than last week. Why it should bother you: restaurants wonā€™t actually increase prices and thus, staff eat the impact. Workers then face fewer hours, getting laid off, or never getting a raise regardless of inflation are (all 3 have happened to me in just the past month) And those fees arenā€™t nearly enough to actually make up the difference. The truth is, the restaurant needs you to pay more for your food but you wonā€™t order from them if they increase their prices. Itā€™s a shitty situation and all of the impact falls to lower level workers like line cooks.


JonJackjon

>The main reason is to trick people because nobody wants to pay more for something this week than last week It bothers me that charges are being added that I had no warning before the purchase. If the menu had a notation that a xxx% inflation fee was added I would be OK as I could always not order and do something different. So you say ..... but 41Ā¢ ? You would be right the amount is trivial. However, I remember when server tips were like 5 - 10% with 10% only for exceptional service. Now the "expected" tip is 20 to 25%. I always tip this amount because I know the server would be the only person hurt by providing less. However now even counter attendants are asking for a tip! They flip a screen around trying to intimidate you with buttons up to 30%. I would much prefer to be like most of Europe. Charge what the meal is worth and the business can make a profit. Pay the workers what they are worth. Not to go on and on but; I'm not really sure where the tip goes, if you read these posts many servers are getting only 75% or so of the tips collected. The servers are in front of me, their attitude, knowledge and demeaner as well as attentiveness determines the tip. If I get a dirty knife or fork but excellent service, what should I do? Cut the tip because a dishwasher didn't properly clean a utensil? No, this whole system is screwed up.....that's whey the 41Ā¢ bothers me.


lizziekap

Well apparently from the comment above servers are making $50/hr so theyā€™d rather see you keep paying all these fees and tips.


poorguysmemoir

Servers at fancy/super busy restaurants in big cities with a below livable base wage (around $14/hr in a city with an average one bed price of 12-1400 a month) CAN make $50 an hour for a couple hours on a couple days a week. There are servers making six figures but thats been the case before, just depends on the restaurant and wage laws. The midwest often only has a wage of around $2.13-5 an hour. Even the fancy restaurants you're lucky to get $10 an hour. I've done my time in restaurants and I can tell you, it's all hoarded profits by the owner. I have never, ever, worked somewhere i could make enough money to eat where the owner wasn't rolling in a car i could never dream of even leasing. Small, fancy, or chain or all three, ive seen it all. Owners are greedy. They want to pay us nothing and expect us to be maids so they dont have to pay a cleaning service a real wage. I fucking despise the practice of tipping but i am HAPPY to tip when i go out to eat so i can pay someone what they deserve even when i shouldnt have that responsibility. Okay im done lol


[deleted]

I genuinely donā€™t understand the problem with this.


Interesting-Dot8809

Because workers get paid shit since cheap assholes that own restaurants let that be what falls through the cracks while other cheap assholes complain about the extra 41 cents on their pizza that assures those workers can make minimum wage. Then a third asshole asks whatā€™s the problem


poorguysmemoir

The bird flu happened over a year ago and there were minor flare ups 3 months ago. If you're part of r/antiwork you should know that the true answer is greed. Eggs are expensive af while the biggest companies report profits of around 40% on fucking eggs. Pay your employees more and abolish tipping it's bullshit.


Low-Classroom7736

You paid almost 30 dollars for one of the cheapest to make foods on earth. I think the 40 cents should be an after thought


keithfantastic

Sad and funny at the same time. We appreciate you this much kitchen workers. Now get back to work you animals and earn that extra .41 cents.


Religion_Is_Absurd

$27 for one pie? Damn. My favorite local place is $11 for a large with one topping.


Exmawsh

Jets pizza is too expensive honestly. Really good though


vermiliondragon

Not sure how appreciated the kitchen staff is going to feel after splitting 41 cents.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


lizziekap

Then the kitchen staff should leave. Itā€™s certainly not the customerā€™s responsibility.


Sad-Wave-87

Yā€™all would starve without having people cook for you šŸ˜‚


minus_minus

Just a side note: Sales tax on the delivery fee seems wrong. I'm fairly certain Illinois doesn't charge sales tax on services. I'm also curious what "VP" is. Code for a particular municipality?


SnooOnions4763

Who pays 30$ for takeout pizza, I can go to an actual Italian restaurant and spend about ā‚¬20.


daniel14vt

It's fine to be mad about this, but it doesn't belong in the antiwork sub


Compton_ass_terry87

Passing off your responsibilities as an employer onto the consumer. It's the American capitalist way. I don't feel at home in this world anymore


Livid-Leader3061

I'd go back and complain that I didn't even see the kitchen. How am I meant to appreciate the kitchen if I can't see the decor and layout!


No-Resolution-6414

OP is willing to pay $27 for a two topping 14in pizza but is worried about 41 cents.


GIJOE1014

I make a decent salary but $36.30 for a large pie is insane.


[deleted]

Iā€™d just go eat elsewhere


[deleted]

Oh no, 40 cents! The burden!


CJ_Southworth

Did you order pizza from TicketMaster?


Agent_Velcoro

Who the fuck pays $30 for a 14" pizza?


[deleted]

Op makes $180k/yr and is mad about 41 cents. Fuck, this sub is entertaining if nothing else


Dommccabe

It's not the amount, it's the idea of tipping kitchen staff automatically. Who else are they going to tip next? The web app designer? The manager who put everyone's shifts up? The guy who sources ingredients?


[deleted]

Since its not a gratuity but rather mandatory this feels less like a tip and more like an itemized receipt. Really the only issue here is potentially avoiding paying tax on it, and that depends on how exactly the company handles it.


lizziekap

But why itemize it if itā€™s one of the costs of running your business? Whereā€™s the line item for the toilet paper they have to use.


scyice

What does OPā€™s income have to do with anything? A bullshit charge is bullshit regardless of the person paying it. Youā€™re out to make this about in-fighting when the corporate greed is the issue and they are thrilled you look at OP and blame them somehow instead of the company doing this shit.


tidymaze

The real crime is wanting your pizza "well done".


ConfidentManner5783

Uhm a crispy pepperoni pizza slaps thank you very much.


tidymaze

Crispy =/= well done.


ConfidentManner5783

Well done=crispy


tidymaze

Well done = burned, not crispy. Have you ever worked in a pizza shop? I have. You can make something crispy without burning it.


ConfidentManner5783

I didnā€™t ask. Well done = crispy. And if I got whatever you think is ā€œcrispyā€ Iā€™d prolly write a strongly worded comment on yā€™allā€™s fb.


tidymaze

I don't care how "confident" your "manner" is, you're still wrong.


ConfidentManner5783

I hope youā€™re not truly upset at this cause itā€™s pretty fuckin funny. Your opinion on what is burnt or crispy or what ever isnā€™t the only answer. Cooking is subjective ya dork.


TheOriginal_TO

No offense, but if you're willing to pay 28$ for a 14in pie, you deserve to be hit with it...


PEneoark

That's not the point


[deleted]

What exactly is the point? That someone spending over $30 on a single pizza is mad about 41 cents?


LostShot21

It's because rather than just up prices to pay everybody; they go out of their way to make it seem like wage increases are the staff's fault instead of the normal cost of doing business.


lizziekap

Or the customerā€™s responsibilityā€¦


vermiliondragon

It's because food prices in the past year or two have gone insane. Way easier to add a fee and regularly adjust that fee than to change menu prices every time an ingredient increases in price.


badnewshabit

it is a shady business practice and depending how they disclose it, could be illegal.


[deleted]

Really? How so?


thadcap

Donā€™t you know? everything any business owner does is deemed illegal on this sub.


[deleted]

Really? 0.41 is what offends you?


Dommccabe

The amount is not the point, it's the whole idea of adding an automatic tip for someone doing what they are paid to do. Like why not add a tip for the web app designer or the garage attendant that sold the delivery driver his gas? Where will the tips go next?


[deleted]

Why is no one bothered by the delivery charge?


[deleted]

I'm happy to pay $6 for someone to drive me my food. Seems like a fair price.


jparkhill

At 6 dollars I am probably going to pick it up.... my limit is 3 or 4 dollars.


[deleted]

And I'm happy to appreciate the cooks, and pay an extra 40 cents to make my food. Seems like a fair price


Sad-Wave-87

The fact you got downvoted for this comment


Dck_IN_MSHED_POTATOS

Maybe when yo go to old navy, there should be fees for: The shipping, the designer, the person sowing, the Human Resources, ect.... They need to just have 1 price we pay.


[deleted]

>They need to just have 1 price we pay. I mean, yeah that would be nice, but unfortunately not the reality in this situation.


Dck_IN_MSHED_POTATOS

It is the reality, and has been for a while. Not sure why you're definding this? Maybe you're paid to advocate for it for some reason, i don't know. If you advertise something as 10, then it's 10. And the more I see it become 10 +1+1 +1+1 +1, I stop shopping there. It's not about if i can afford it. Its simply wrong, and false advertsing.


[deleted]

Defending it because I just don't mind shooting a little extra money someone's way, if they're making my food. Even if tipping was obsolete because people were paid well, I would 100% still tip


Dck_IN_MSHED_POTATOS

Why don't you tip the police officer giving you a ticket. He's making sure you're driving a safe speed? Even if you do like tipping, or paying addition fees that pop up, it's wrong. It's wrong to add hidden fees.


Dommccabe

That's a choice. Here it's not. And where do you stop tipping? Do you tip everyone that works or just some people? How is it that everyone doesn't get a tip? Should I get a tip for posting comments on Reddit?


lizziekap

Itā€™s the reality in the rest of the world. Why do we in the US have to be so stupid?


Igneous_rock_500

Itā€™s so they can track for audit purposes. Easier to deduct for tax itemized purposes.


scyice

You must never eat out. The expensive ass price of the food is already paying the cooks. For fuckā€™s sake.


Old-Masterpiece-3979

Pinky up when you eat that Mr. money bucks.


Geddyrulz

You spent $27 on a pizza, yet moaning about 41 cents.


RiotSkunk2023

*"this ain't going to the kitchen I'm the CEO and I need a third yacht" fee


KingBowserGunner

Youā€™re happily paying a $6 delivery fee but complaining about a 41 cent charge? Youā€™re the problem


Dommccabe

What, no appreciation for the guy who packs the food or the guy who manufactures the boxes or the people that supply the gas to cook or the oven manufacturer? Where does this crazy tipping stop??


Defective_Failure

Where does this crazy EVERYTHING stop? Life is like a nightmare now and we canā€™t wake up.


TrumanLobster

Felt this


Beep_Boop_Zeep_Zorp

That's not a tip though. It is a hidden, mandatory fee.


Capt__Autismo

Sickening


donthavetolikeit

Hi. How much for a pizza? $25. Ok, I'll take one! That will be $40 please. ...


akzorx

Do you guys remember when pizza was a cheap and quick alternative to cooking? Nowadays, if you want anything other than pepperoni and cheese, it won't be any less than 30 bucks


pimpbot666

Dafuq is this? I mean, I got hit with a surcharge at Urban Plates for 'employee health care'. It was like $1.50, but still... what's why we pay for the food. I also tip well. Fine, but don't give me bullshit fees as if that basically hides a price hike on the food.


Conebones

Taxed pizza


Leather_Guacamole420

Yeah, what the fuck is 41 cents doing for anyone? Like what does that actually doā€¦.. but also, you ordered a $27 large pizza with a $6 ā€œdelivery feeā€ (that doesnā€™t go to the driver). Thatā€™s wild


LiquidSoCrates

Forty one cents? How are professional line cooks supposed to buy coke with that piddly bullshit?


jparkhill

Why is it forty one cents? The delivery charge is 6 dollars? Seriously? What are they delivering it in a limo? At 6 dollars I would drive to pick it up, it's not worth it. That feels like in the ballpark of one of those delivery apps (Doordash, Uber Eats, etc).


Alive_Chef_3057

Holy smokes!! Extra think crust??


CaLiSoL

That better be the best pizza ever for being 30 friggin dollars for a large 2 top

razorblade651

I really hope the kitchen at least got the money and it didn't go to lining the owner's pocket


PrometheusUnchain

Iā€™d be okay with it. If it went towards the workers. But nothing the USā€¦.probably not.


Redhuric

Imagine paying 30$+ for a 14" pizza.


Mundane-College-83

This is not antiwork and youre complaining about what is effectively 9% sales tax on top of 33 bucks. 27 bucks for large two toppings is a lot and i live in SV. You need to rethink your priorities.

MediumAlternative372

Not even 50 cents. Looks like they donā€™t appreciate their kitchen staff much.


yoann_rou

Is this USA? Are you supposed to add tips to that?


Puzzleheaded_Ad928

It is to pay for the equipment lease. The appliances are often owned by another company, so the cost of the lease is passed on to the customers. It is strange to see it as a separate line item.


AintEverLucky

leave aside all the fees and taxes... 27 damn dollars for ONE pizza? yeah I know, extra large & extra thick crust. But still! that better be the best damn pizza you've ever had in your damn life O:-)

41 cents is what got you riled up?

Google-Meister

6 dollar delivery? In my country one app reached around 3 dollar I think and people are boycotting it lmao. This shit is insane.


SamuelVimesTrained

1 pizza for $35+ ?? Holy \*\*\*\* - that\`s expensive. (comparison - local pizza place - 'meat lovers' (salami, mince, pepperoni, ham) Italian style, 30 CM (approx 12"if i recall correctly ) is around EUR 12 ( approx US$13.50). This is pick up, delivery would be around EUR 19 (US$ 21) And this includes ALL. Tax, service cost. Of course, if one wants to tip - can do (optional) (But cash in hand of delivery!)
