Sorry, but I have a hard time buying a salad for $10 when I can grab the ingredients for 10 salads for about $5. And they’ll be higher quality. Not browning lettuce with mayo sauce.
Not at grocery stores, convenience stores, or places like gas stations. Literally anywhere else that deals with food you’ll get a automatic prompt at the register when you pay asking if you want to tip.
Sysco also is the food supplier monopoly. When you sign a contract with them you select what products they regularly stock for you to buy, and they heavily discount certain products they want to incentivize you to buy.
It’s why everything tastes the same now and a lot of restaurants do sysco slop bowls.
It’s weird too because there is a burger place down the street from me that literally gets all of their ingredients locally. Buns from a local bakery, beef and potatoes from local farms, etc… A single patty combo with fries/tots and a drink is $13.79. Meanwhile down the street McDonald’s (I know McDonald’s doesn’t use Sysco but it’s the easiest burger comparison) is charging like $12.99 for a Big Mac combo that almost certainly has less beef in it and is nowhere near the same quality on any level in any capacity.
We are reaching a point where corporate overhead is so huge that it might actually bring back small businesses.
Except it won’t. Restaurant prices are rising rapidly, they are failing at an unprecedented rate, and we have more remote workers than ever who aren’t going to go anyways. It’s all f’ed.
Prices have skyrocketed, quality has tanked.

You guys don’t ACTUALLY get asked for tips at stores… Right?
Nowhere that I’ve been, no, but the little POS tablets that small shops and vendors have all ask for a tip by default.
I choose to believe you abbreviated “piece of shit” there.
Both abbreviations are correct, yeah
Jesus christ. To me thats a “yes”
Oh honey, you have no idea the capitalistic depravity we have here
Apparently I really don’t

The merch booth at concerts will literally tell you they don’t get paid at all without tips as you’re buying a $50 shirt.
If that ever comes here I am never eating out again.
Though I haven’t eaten out in like 6 months so they wouldn’t care lol

Corporate owns everything so, unfortunately no.
At this point, with grocery prices rising, you’d just be paying to have the assured quality from making it yourself.
Seriously, why the fuck does a salad cost as much as a full meal? That’s not an entree, it’s an oversized side dish.
Always takes me a second to remember you Americans use entrée to refer to the main dish, lol.
What’s it mean elsewhere?
The word entrée sorta sounds like entry, doesn’t it?
It’s more or less the same as appetizer or starter.
Oh, that’s funny because it’s completely different from what it means here.
I always wondered why it was called an entrée. I guess it’s just an ignorant american bastardization, like half the language is…
Can be. Rarely is.
