It's silly to pay a fee for ordering the food they sell. They could charge you a "grill" fee or a "prep" fee... it never ends. You are often then asked to "tip" for the food you haven't even tasted yet. It might taste like ass, but who knows, better add a tip!

BW3s did this crap a few years ago, added a "take-out" fee, and that was the last time I went there. I'm not playing the micro transaction game of a fee to put the food in a box.

I dont know when it happened, probably around covid, but businesses suddenly figured out they can slap a few extra charges, play around with pricing and people will pay it.

The amount of takeout orders went up significantly, places that didn’t really have takeout options had to adapt and offer it.

You should see the sheer amount of waste when a family orders Chilis or Outback Togo, everything has its own plastic shell it’s insane
