    It was almost Santiago's Saturday....wife said the line was around the restaurant and into the street..so she went to Burger King instead. I would have back tracked to the bbq place for their burritos...but I got free breakfast so I ain't complaining

    As wyo said, there are so many occurrence that I gave up on restaurant pickup order and went to fastfood.
    There are mom/pop restaurant who nickel&dime you with smaller portion than pre-covid19 takeout. That is just worse than price gouging hand sanitize or toilet paper. at least I know I get gouged on those items. Those restaurant gougers try to sneak in 50cents to dollar more AND give less portion without noticing it later.

    Those restaurants will be my avoid list.

    SMH. Some folks are trying hard to survive and you bitch about a small price increase or smaller portion? FFS.

    Despite a significant drop in business, Tailgate Tavern gave free gas to healthcare workers this morning. I think they did it last week too. How's that for gouging people?

    We have kept up our weekly take out nite two local eateries. Instead of two trips per week to town I order and pick up both same trip and one becomes left overs for next day.

    So, because of this incident, it is okay to gouge or rip people off?? Price was same as listed, but charged more. re-read before you call names.

    Maybe they have to do smaller portions to fit in the takeout boxes?

    And if fifty cents to a dollar for a meal is price gouging then maybe you need to re-evaluate your personal financial situation.

    I've pretty much lived on carry out since this thing started (being in a hotel), and my waist line will prove it. Every place I've ordered from has been beyond grateful, and most have completely restructured their business model, yet still provided good service and food. I cannot complain about portions, and I've tipped very well despite not being "served". I'm very grateful for what the restaurant business has done during this time.
