[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t really get how fresh prepared food could cost less, tbh. I think the margins are razor thin.

Probably someone will come up with an ai or automation innovation that will change the labor math at some point, like what happened with the Automat and the McDonalds assembly method. I know Pret makes the sandwiches ahead but I don’t think that’s different enough to really dent the economics.

You’re paying $18 for a single BLT that you make in your own kitchen with grocery store ingredients? Sounds like someone who’s never ever cooked.[/quote]

Well, why don't you factor in your labor and rent/mortgage costs, plus utilities? It's not just the ingredients you're paying for, obviously.[/quote]
That’s the most absurd argument I’ve heard. Listen, restaurant owner. People are waking up to your ridiculous prices.[/quote]

Oh, please. I work in media. But the idea you are only paying for ingredients is obviously false and you are dumb as a ham sandwich if you don’t see that.[/quote]
Using your argument if I make a sandwich at home I’m paying for my own mortgage which I would have done anyways. If I eat out I’m covering the restaurant’s expenses in addition to my own. If you can’t see the difference then you’re the one that’s dumber than a doorknob.[/quote]
