Is £1.45 For One Slice Of Toast

[bundleone]

I think £1.45 for a slice of white toast and a pat of butter is a bit excessive from a cafe. Am I being unreasonable in thinking I,ve been done ?

[woofgang]

you are paying for the seat, heating, service, clean china and cutlery and so on....so in a greasy spoon cafe maybe that's a bit expensive, in a nicer place maybe its fair.

[AuntLydia]

You are not just paying for the toast. You are paying for the electricity it cost to cook, the rent of the premises it was cooked in and the wages of the person who served you. Unless the price was different on the menu to that on the bill then how can you have been 'done'?

[ummmm]

Bit steep.

[jno]

obviously cheaper to do it yourself. But if you ask yourself why you didn't, and work out whether the reasons for not doing so were worth £1.45, then you might have your answer.

Should have checked the price 1st

[kvalidir]

As all of the above, depends where it was really.

I don't think it's too bad actually

Was it Frankie and Bennys? Their toast costs a fortune but the breakfast is lovely.

£1.79 for a slice of toast.

Went into Sainsburys cafe with my Mum the other day, Mum usually finds their tea a bit weak so i asked if we could have an extra tea bag in the pot, when i later checked to bill, turns out they charged another 45p.

I thought that was a bit much so now if we go i will keep an extra tea bag in my handbag to add to the pot.

Next time you go to Sainsburys take 2 of your own teabags, ask for a cup of hot water and then complain like mad if they don't take off 45p from the price of a cuppa.

Where I work, we aren’t able to leave the department to have a tea break etc, thus a lady attends from the canteen each day with buns, yoghurt and fruit.
I don’t buy them myself(take my own to work) but I find it extortionate that a banana costs 40 pence, yet they’re 13 pence each in Aldi.

[tonyav]

£1.45 about right if there was beans on it.

Take a cheese butty and sit on the park bench.

[shoota]

What about 12/- for one papadom?
12 bob!
For a big crisp....
That takes the biscuit.





Or the crispy flatbread...

[Theland]

As long as the well off or the stupid are prepared to pay, well nuff said.

[woofgang]

the thing with bananas is they don't keep....so you either have to be very good at knowing how many you will sell, or you have to add in something on top of your profit to cover losses.

[cassa333]

Depends. Two slices of toast with butter I’d £1 in Morrison’s cafe.

[Mamyalynne]

It rather depends, if I were out and about and wanted a sit down in the warm with a bite to eat then I'd pay it.

Have to have a cuppa too though.

[Baldric]

Did that include a Tea or Coffee?

[bundleone]

When i read the menu it just said ‘toast and butter’ £1.45, I assumed it would be two slices nd was surprised it was only one slice, I felt a bit cheated, the coffee was nice though at £1.95 which I expected.
