What Is This?
This is my empty cup of soda from Tommy's Tacos.
Hate It Or Love It?
Don't you hate it when restaurants fill your soda cup up halfway with ice and then don't give free refills?
Okay, I know this one might sound a little whiny. But I'm sure some of you have had the exact same thought at one point or another. You just grumble a little to yourself, forget about it and ask for no ice the next time. The trouble is, the next time you ask for no ice, they put in the same amount of soda and fill the rest up with water! It's like they're determined to not give you that full cup of soda! If you consider how much soda costs for restaurants, I think it's pretty ridiculous.
Did You Know...
The most expensive part of your cup of soda is the cup itself. Soda is also a restaurant's biggest profit margin.
Sometimes, I ask for a water cup and get soda. Do you think that this is morally wrong? Is this robbing restaurants and ultimately screwing them over? Or is this not a big deal because soda is so cheap? I'd like to hear your thoughts. And if you think it's wrong, I'd love for you to convince me why it is.
And your entertainment for the day: Alex Frost and a 12-inch steak burrito (the bottom of the burrito is where his pinky is) from Tommy's Tacos. It's the Holy Trinity of food: great amount, great taste and great price. Congrats, Alex, you're officially a man.
Nah its not morally wrong once in awhile, but it just sucks for the next person who tries to do that because the restaurant will probably be on higher alert. But i guess what comes around goes around.
ReplyDeleteAnd yea, remember we learned never to order McDonald's sweet tea without ice even though its like half filled
I haven't been to a premiere! Lets try to look for one in LA and go together! :D
ReplyDeleteof course its morrally wrong but that aint stoppin me
ReplyDeleteselena is this why you kept saying ice ice baby that day?! hahahaa i thought it was cuz of ice charts and it was so cool that i was thinking of that too.. ehh ://
ReplyDeletep.s. bryan i really like your blog (:
Yes it's morally wrong! Ask Bryan Lin! HAHA just kidding but that just reminds me of the time Grace was at chipotle with Bryan and she buys a burrito for Ailin who wants "a burrito bowl and a cup of soda in a water cup." Grace follows her specific directions and gets a lecture from Bryan!
ReplyDeleteBecause if the restaurant was going offer free soda they would just do so. The goal of a business is to make money and if you aren't letting them do that thats the same as stealing. And even if you may think they are still making lots of money and that one cup won't make the difference, if everyone does it, it will. And its not about the effect but the idea behind it. It's still stealing soda.
But then...that's just what I think :) And i would definitely understand it because Chipotle does not taste the same without its free soda :(
