$8 for a fountain soda?

Is this the new going rate?

The going rate for high earning yuppies who like to get ripped off. That drink probably costs them 10 cents to make.

It isn’t shown anywhere on the menu. I actually went online and looked at all their menus today, to see if maybe they had double charged me. I’m not super cheap - I didn’t blink at paying $15 for a cocktail - but I found this outrageous. We will not be going back.

Beer would certainly be healthier than a soda, if was a real beer and not some adjunct junk.

What? That was the price of one bottle of water in Harry Potter World. At least you got Coke.

No. Labor, rent, utilities, insurance, taxes, licenses, ice machine, the glass it’s served in. Restaurant biz is a grind. Far easier ways to get rich.

Now that you mention it-I don’t think i’ve ever seen soda prices on a menu either. We don’t ever order soda at restaurants but I remember when my kid had a parties at restaurants and some of the kids ordered sodas I think the most i’ve seen charged is $4.

That is absolute insanity.

$8 is nuts for a fountain soda that is not at a movie theater, amusement park, stadium, etc. We know we're going to be price gouged at those places. Normal restaurants, bars, cafes, etc shouldn't be more than $5 (and hopefully less than that).
