At any cafe or restaurants, what's the deal with the 12 tator tot and the five onion ring ruling ?

Question

That just burns me, a customer pays $3.00 for these items and that's what all I get ..

Is it that the "people getting fat" rule, applying to them ,like it is with McDonald's.

Answer 1

Restaurants usually go by weight not specific count.

At McDonald's their hasbrowns are one single hasbrown but it is a large one and cost $1.00 at most locations. The fries are done in ounces.  Small is 2 oz. Med is 4 oz and Lg is 6 oz.

Answer 2

They go by wieght and portion size. That is correct portion size (Serving) size for those items. You can make more at home cheaper.  That is how restaurants make profit.  

I agree it is expensive to eat out.
