[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The margins are higher on soda than the food. Drink soda.[/quote]

I am not understanding the soda logic at all.  If you are ordering soda almost all the money you are spending is going to the restaurant.  If you order food, at least as much money is going to the corporations that sold the ingredients to the restaurant.

I will also point out that a restaurant that buys from a local baker, or one that bakes their own desserts and sells them for people to take home will have a label. A label does not consistently mean what you seem to think it means.[/quote]

Someone thinks not ordering soda is sticking it to Big Soda, but the reality is that soda has a 50-70% markup. Restaurants really hate when you just order a glass of water. That signals "cheapskate" to the employees not "health nut."[/quote]

I’ll take “cheapskate,” because I’m not paying $4.00 for liquid diabetes.  When I do order water, I up the tip as if I did order a drink, unless they call me a “cheapskate.”[/quote]
