Extra charge for takeaway – why?
I never understood this, so maybe someone can explain it to me: why do some restaurants, such as the Palms Cafe, charge a fee if you’re taking your food to go? I mean, sure, they have to pay for the takeout containers and plastic bags, but they don’t need to pay a waiter or a busser while you’re there and less dishes will need to be washed. It seems as if it should cost about the same, or even less, for you to order food to go. So why make me pay MORE?

It’s a tax on potential tips lost.
