[quote=Anonymous]Clydes has a 3.75% surcharge. They claim it’s because of higher food costs, higher wages, and supply chain issues. Isn’t something like that supposed to be included in the price of the food? There’s not a separate charge for rent or utilities. The prices of the entrees are up and the portions are smaller. I’m expected to tip 20%. A burger starts at $16. By the time you add in surcharge, tip, and tax, the $16 burger becomes $20. That might be reasonable for dinner for one but when it’s dinner for 4 it’s not sustainable for most families. For $80 at the grocery store I can buy 8-10lbs of ground beef. Assuming 1/2lb patties that’s 16 burgers at home instead of 4 at Clydes. Growing up dining out was reserved for a special occasion. I’ve definitely gone back to that philosophy.[/quote]
