>>8746314
in this case, they offer breakfast (so I assume it's some sort of hotel), and leave a bottle of milk at disposition for the cereals. But people being people, they probably noticed people just went there even if they didn't get the formula with the free breakfast, and just emptied the milk for themselves.

>>8746493
No.

How in the mind of a bong does drinking a glass of milk = "taking the piss"?

Why can't the English speak proper English? He probably wanted to put it in his tea anyways; disgusting.

>>8746672
Selling glasses of milk at a 500% markup. That's a perfectly reasonable example of taking the piss.

>>8746679

>$1.50 for a glass of milk is a 500% mark up

Go to sleep grandpa, you're dead.

Also, have you ever done food costs? 300% is standard for food and 500% is perfectly reasonable for drinks, especially at a fucking hotel restaurant.

>$1.55 for a glass of milk

Nigga I'll just buy my own damn jug, fuck.

>>8746672
>cereal + milk = $0.00
>milk = $1.55
>therefore if you ask for cereal alone you should receive $1.55

Refer to >>8746701

>>8746830
>arguing about cost
>FREE doesn't change the context in any way

How the fuck do you even function in society?

>>8746833

That's your food cost. When you price out a dish you raise the food cost to 100% to cover the rest of your costs/profits. Hence a 30% food cost = a 300% markup.

>>8746847

And that's why restaurants have to charge you $1.55 for a glass of milk if they want to make a profit.

>>8746847
>>8746833
What are you guys even arguing about? Of course places have the right to charge whatever they like, plenty of places (I would even say most) don't do the bullshit in OPs pic and many are reasonably priced. You just eat at those ones. There's nothing superior about not caring that you're getting gypped. And likewise, let losers who want to blow money on milk at breakfast waste their shit.

>>8746721

Okay you fucks, this whole thread is pissing me off.
They are offering free breakfast, it's free.
They KNOW that some chucklehead fuck would try and empty the milk for themselves and leave everyone with dry cereal.
So why is it so bad to put an exuberant price on there to dissuade people from just drinking whole glasses of milk for free?
It probably would of been better for them to just mention that the milk is only for cereal and to ask people nicely not to drink just the milk, but you know people out there aren't gonna listen unless it's actually considered stealing.
Fucking trolls.

>>8746968
I've literally never encountered a hotel on the planet that didn't offer milk with breakfast, as in for drinking. The only reason they have to make such an arbitrary rule to discourage "theft" is because they're doing a stupid and counter-intuitive thing that nobody else does.

>>8746968
>They KNOW that some chucklehead fuck would try and empty the milk for themselves and leave everyone with dry cereal.

There's literally no reason they couldn't do that with a cereal bowl

>>8746968

Milk is widely accepted as breakfast beverage.
I consume milk for breakfast.
Therefore the milk should be free.

>>8747210

What's you're point exactly? That the exact percentage of the markup is slightly different? who cares?

Point is that the price they're asking for a glass of milk is perfectly in line with what other restaurants charge.

If you think the % is horrible then god forbid you look into what McDonald's charges for a soda....

I work at a Marriott and because of fucko's like you they're going to be adding the Bistro to more hotels. That is, NO MORE free breakfast. Right now Courtyard is the only brand that has the Bistro, short order paid for breakfast, but they're going to be expanding the program to other brands in order to cut costs.

Fuck you explaining to fucking churls why they gotta pay for breakfast and coffee every fucking day is insufferable.

I asked the man if they served coffee and allowed people to put milk in their coffee. He said they did. I explained that I cannot eat choco nuclear holocaust cake without milk. He said that he suddenly understood the problem at hand and would see what he could do.

He later arrived with choco fucking end-of-days fudge ripple death on a plate cake and two fucking glasses of milk.

I then proceeded to teach my date how to drive stick shift on the top of a parking lot and got laid in the back of a mustang. Shit was cash.

Okay, to the non English speakers:

The joke here is that you can eat ANYTHING for breakfast for FREE, but woe betide you if you decide to drink a glass of milk.

It's not bitching about price, it's the irony of the breakfast costing significantly more than the milk in the first place.

I went to an Armenian place that offered buffette option, top of the notch place and saw a group of 8 old ladies order the buffette and walk up to the cold food bar bringing their glasses with them and serve cold soup right into the glasses to drink with their meals so they didn't have to order any drinks
I mean they can get unlimited soup since it's part of the thing but there were clearly bowls there for the soup and it was kind of disgusting

I regret this thread.

Now listen here Fucktard. This is how a restaurant is supposed to work. A chef assembles the freshest ingredients and he Skillfully combines them into something fucking magical. He doesn't just buy a bottle of milk and pour it into a glass for you, you can't mark up 500% for me having poured it into the glass. If you're going to charge that much for drinks you better have a stunning fucking atmosphere, gorgeously assembled food, and wait staff that cater to every aspect of your dining experience. Not a fucking cereal bar where I get to choose between cornflakes and fucking rice crispies.

I actually had this happen to me once. Some lardo was loading up on food and shit to obviously take with him, and I couldn't help but stare at what was happening because he was taking A LOT of food, like more than I've ever seen in my life, so he glances up at me and gives me this angry glare as pushes his face closer to mine, and the sheer incredulousness of what he just did put this visible look of mixed disbelief, shock and anger on my face that I guess took him by surprise, because I don't pull away in response to stuff like this like some people do, I tend to lean in, so instantly he looked surprised, dropped the face, looked down and away, then shuffled off to what I presume was a different feeding ground.

Like what the fuck man. Fucking fat people are like black bears, you just need to call their bluff and stand your ground.
