Скачать или смотреть Being charged to eat at a restaurant? The new normal or rip-off?

#shorts I just went into a really nice cafe in Boston that had a lot of good food and drinks. The prices were about $2 more than I will remember from pre-covid, but that's the new normal. But, I noticed on the menu a 35 cent fee to sit at a table. Really? So, if I want to eat at your little place, I have to pay for it? Ah, that's not the new normal. So, I didn't pay. Glad I saw that. And instead, I took my food to the park. But, that is ridiculous. I've never seen that before. Because that's part of what going to a restaurant or a diner or a cafe is. You might sit there and eat, but now you're going to charge me. Uh, no. And, no I don't believe this reflects economic changes. Its on thing to charge for food price increases, but the tables were bought a long time ago.
