That’s a good call.

That’s probably why some high end places did things like a burger but only in the lounge for happy hour to drive people there then. 

A burger does a number of things beyond smaller check totals - it also signifies that a higher-end place might not be so special after all, driving AWAY the very clientele they are trying to attract.

The third option is the restaurant wasn’t their choice & they’re trying to order one of the cheaper items on the menu.

A restaurant that aims to be “high-end” wouldn’t offer a burger in the first place.

Yeah but no. A restaurant that aims to be high-end and provide unique dishes needs to sell those dishes at a reasonable markup to stay open.

Sounds more like they have a problem with overall profit margins and quality not attracting the customers they want. Burgers aren’t often an affordability thing, a lot of people are just pickier eaters but don’t want to force the rest of their family/group to eat at pubs all the time.

If you can’t sell burgers for a profit then don’t put them on the menu, if you put them on the menu and don’t make money off of them, then complain about it, you’re doing it wrong.

I suspect that most of the time someone is ordering the $19 burger, they’re not the one who chose the restaurant, and them ordering the burger is the price you’re paying to have the party there at all. It’s like the perfunctory vegan item at the steakhouse.

Only having just watched this I know what your doing. Take your star. 

“So if you have $40 or $50 entrees and you have a $19 burger, and a third of the people get the burger, you’re losing a huge amount of money.”

‘Thank you for supporting us on your special occasion, but we’d like to see more of you so here’s an option.’”

It makes sense when we recognize that we’re fully into our “blood from stones” capitalist era.

Fast food trying to screw the poor seems self defeating.

Whatever the solution, the problem is due to decades of imperialist fuckery that’ll only be undone by a group effort. Multiple countries, all unified to prevent slaughter and eliminate the possibility of a nuclear war in the fertile crescent. If the global community shrugs their shoulders at this (and the rumblings…

IMO they need to be treated like any other voice actor or mocap actor. SAG-AFTRA negotiations. Who cares that they’re students? They’re adults, willingly letting their likenesses be used, and they should be compensated appropriately.

$600 is INCREDIBLY low to sell your name and likeness to something like that. I sold a YouTube video I had made to a fast food chain that wanted to use it for an ad campaign, and they paid me $3000. And this was back in 2012!

on one hand less physical options sucks on the other...disney movie club was a predatory trash fire in how they got people.stuck paying $20+ per movie for their intro special.

If you can’t read between the lines of this story about a shitty celebrity coming into an unethically low-paying job and complaining about the location’s low sales numbers on his trash merch, then I’d argue that you’re more likely the person who’s never done retail work. That wouldn’t be fun for anyone but the largest…

Every single person he annoyed had something better to do than help him make more money.  Fuck this guy.
