Why do resturant plates break so easily?

Question

Please answer today!

Answer 1

Trust me, they're not that cheap.  However, after they go through the dish machine 8 billion times at inferno temps, they get brittle over time.  When plates would break, all I could see was $$$.  And I did not have the fanciest plates in the world.

Answer 2

They usually buy plates in bulk, meaning the quality of the plate is usually less than the quality of the food.

Answer 3

They buy the cheapest, good looking plates.

You wouldn't want to pay $30 for 5 plates would you?

Also when you break one, they charge you about $5, even though the plate is probably worth less than $1.

It's all part of their plan

Answer 4

Cheep plates. Guess they allow for some breakage.

Answer 5

Less expensive dishes means less overhead cost, but it also means less quality.
