I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I’m naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It’s literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits.
I cancelled my order and got local street tacos instead.
EDIT: Look what I found this morning, lol https://www.today.com/food/restaurants/buffalo-wild-wings-takeout-fee-backlash-complaint-rcna90228
Did you submit a handwritten ticket,pay with cash, and order without ever looking at the menu? Did you do so without taking up any time of an employee or occupying any space in their establishment for any amount of time? Did you ask them to just give you all of the raw ingredients in a Togo container without actually cooking anything?
Of course not, so you used everything you just whined about getting a discount for.
Do you really think they plate the food in the back of the house, then turn around and dump that plate of food into a container, and then wash the plate?
No wonder they need to charge extra.
Do you really think the food just springs into existence without having to be cooked or prepped?
