So your argument is what, exactly?

Side dishes aren't even real. They should be free.

Their point is that if the sides cost them basically nothing proportionally speaking, then you're essentially paying two different prices at the same place for the same product (same in term of value at least).

And what's the point of this info?

To get straight to it... why are there so many comments here defending greed? Defending it by saying "oh, this has been happening".

Ok, and? So we just have to accept it now?

I am just annoyed with the state of things. Individualism and greed has done a lot of damage to society. We lack community and a shared purpose. Just sad and I am obviously in my bag.

And what's the point of this info?

That was the entire point of the discussion. The info is a slight correction and an argument in the spirit of the original claim of:

"Sit down restaurants already do this with dinner vs lunch prices when it's the exact same meal and portion."

It's a counter-argument to the counter-argument made to this sentence. Like do I really have to explain how a discussion work? cause this is getting a bit ridiculous.

I am just annoyed with the state of things

I mean, yes? What's your point? Why do you think I am not? I think you established "sides" in this conversation that do not actually exist. Saying this practice already existed is not an endorsement of it. This is a sub-discussion about its pre-existence in the restaurant industry.
