      Arthur Chu Retweeted FFSYTHO?!

      The whole speech the manager guy gives Jennifer Aniston in Office Space about how a restaurant like TGI Friday's marks up their prices way above what the food itself should reasonably cost based on "ambience"https://twitter.com/FFSYTHO/status/1298266413312823301 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      FFSYTHO?! @FFSYTHO
      If the Eat out to help out scheme has shown me anything it’s that 99.99% of these food chains aren’t worth the original prices LMAO

      People generally *are* consciously paying for the ambience when they eat out though.

      Ambience, or rent for the table and wages for people to cook, serve and clean up, which I think is fair enough - I'm a shit hostess but I sometimes enjoy meals with others; the benefit of eating out is worth some money to me.

      I mean part of the reason I think people are particularly unhappy about restaurant markup is it *doesn't* pay for the waitstaff's labor - their wages are a very small percentage of their compensation and you pay most of it as a tip

          Absolutely, I didn't consider the tipping aspect. It's not quite as bad where I live, but sure, waitstaff would be underpaid without tips.

          Replying to @arthur_affect @Adele_Quested @Max_P94

          Yeah but there's still cooks, hosts, dishwashers and managers to pay every shift plus all the bookkeepers, exterminators, inspectors, etc. hired less frequently, not to mention rent and utilities. If prices were accurate they would go UP because of servers' tips, not down.

          Replying to @ShieldingC @arthur_affect and

          I worked at a tiny upscale place with no host where servers doubled as dishwashers and head chef was also manager/owner. He showed me his math on flipping a table including candles, tablecloth cleaning etc., and per table the house cut was still less than what people tip.
