There's a couple on here who seem obsessed with this topic, its pretty simple really. There's Mc Donalds and there is The Fat Duck with everything in between. If you don't like the price they charge for the same peice of steak you can get for less than half the price elsewhere then stop moaning about the "greed" and don't fucking go there.
But that's not the issue. Think of it this way, Mr Jones, walks in and orders a Stake meal from the Fat Duck and the girl behind the counter goes, right you can have this for £40.
Mr Cole walks into the same restaurant and orders the exact same Stake meal and the girl behind the counter goes, right you can have this meal for £20.
Should that first guy just accept this or should he maybe go back and challenge why she is charging him £20 more?
How would Mr Jones feel if he did go back to the counter and ask why is he charging £20 more for the same meal as the other guy, and the girl behind the counter goes, "Fuck off, our stake, our rates, you don't like it, eat elsewhere".
The problem is, the girls that do it, rarely have any justification for it. They also get abusive and aggressive when you comment on it - clearly because they are annoyed we have let the cat out of the bag on it.
I will say of all the times I have raised this, there is only one time has a girl attempted to come up with an attempt at a good justification for it (LilyD) the rest its flying off the handle with abuse.
If a girl can come up with a good justification for her doing it. I actually really want to hear it. But they never even try to come up with one (except for LilyD).
