So don't go there?

I'm getting sick of some people whinging about the local restaurant here. I keep hearing “Oh they're so expensive, they're so ridiculous, you would've thought that because we're regulars that they'd give us cheap shit.”

Okay, so they're not cheap. However, the point of a business is to make money. To make money, you have to develop a profit. To develop a profit, you have to raise costs. They're a small business who also like to have something new and interesting in every so often to get customers in. A Gimmick, if you will.

But when you ask for 1 slice of toast, nothing else, don't complain about the price when you could bloody well go to the bakery, get an entire loaf for $3, maybe less, and use the friggin toaster in the kitchen.

“Oh but I like it thick like they have there.” So do what they do: get a bread knife and cut it.

“Oh but I only wanted one slice.” So put the rest in the freezer so you can use it next time you're needing some fibre.

And just because “Oh Matts a Regular there” doesn't mean I know what the friggin price is of a single slice of toast.

If you don't like it, pack up and go elsewhere.
