why does the burger cost the same if I order without half the ingredients 🤔

[@Lisaj0870]

When I was broke I would bring my hamburger back home and add cheese to save a dollar lol

[@OldWorldGamer]

well, if you really look into it, he is right. if you get a burger at fast food places, and it doesn't have lettuce, more often than not, you are charged for it. once upon a time, extras didn't cost as much and therefore you didn't pay for it. as for "it wasn't used but the company payed for it", I will refer back to my example, sometimes people don't want the other stuff on there, others DO want more. I'm lookin at all the pickle fiends out there XD

[@BodilyFunction]

Because if you prepare enough of the product to go on every burger and you decide you want to make a special burger without the stuff you don’t like then the product doesn’t get used but the company still payed for it and had to have it prepared. Also the bread, meat, and cheese are the most expensive parts of a burger.

[@poppop256luv6]

I don’t think you know how cheap bread is.

[@BodilyFunction]

@@poppop256luv6 I do ordering for a restaurant kitchen. I know more about this topic than the vast majority of people. Food costs are my bread and butter. Yes bread is cheap but compared to 3 pickles, a slice of lettuce, or some sliced onions it’s more expensive per burger. Pennie differences can mean thousands of dollars in a year. It all matters.

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

@@BodilyFunction The bread roll 100% is the 2nd most expensive part of a burger unless you have some fancy cheese on it. Beef being the most expensive of course, Poppop clearly has no clue

[@Lo5erz]

Also need to realise that most things that go on burgers have more than 1 day use time, so you prep stuff it has at least 3 days in the fridge/sealed container before it is wasted. It will all get used within time, if a lot of it is wasted you're prepping too much.

[@BodilyFunction]

@@Lo5erz all produce has a limited shelf life. If I sell 200 burger Pattys in a week that corresponds to a certain amount of pounds of produce. All of that has to be prepped by a prep cook which is labor. Labor costs money. If 100 of those Pattys on average goes to a joe burger which lets just say has LTOP (lettuce tomato onion pickle) then you need to buy say 4 pounds of each to cover. Pickles aren’t a big deal but sliced lettuce and tomatoes only last a week max. You prepped it all for the week and bought all the ingredients and then random ignorant person comes in and order a joe burger, but they only want onions and nothing else. I say ok and give them it but then they cry that it should be cheaper because they have less stuff. But that doesn’t account for the fact that I already paid to have the produce in and then paid a guy to prepare for orders. Just because you don’t want what’s on the menu and want to modify it doesn’t mean I won’t charge you the full price because I’ve already made all the expenses. If you think you can run a restaurant with 0 food waste costs you should just go baller in the stock market because the amount of perfect speculation required you would have to be omniscient.

😂😂😂

[@daniellittlewood8471]

Because beef is expensive and lettuce costs zero dollars?

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

You just made the chef's job more difficult why would they charge you less for that, so what you don't get 10c worth fillings you don't get a discount for that

[@FunniesRS]

please tell me how not putting onions on a burger makes it more difficult, i'll gladly wait for an explanation of how doing a little less work somehow equates to more difficulty.

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

@@FunniesRS Because especially when it is busy you just do things on autopilot, you know how to make a burger and you just do it through muscle memory, so when someone decides they know better and changes the ingredients, 70% of the time they're going to either make it wrong and have to remake it or go to grab that onion then have to put it back and lose their flow.. Think of it like you have to type the words than come on a screen the first 30 sentences are all the same then one word is swapped for another, you're going to be slower on that last one and you're probably going to make a mistake

[@charlessimpson9262]

Did he say paying for the service? Then why are we tipping and why are they demanding 20% putting it right on your bill

[@douwe4254]

Everyone around the world wonders the same thing, but no light was turned on, and no bells were ringing. Nobody cared enough, so you pushed on the ideocracy.
