Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I'm almost certain people only pretend to like the sweet potato version of all potato dishes. £1.50 extra for sweet potato fries? Behave. Its like some Emperor's New Clothes style mass delusion.
Edit.
So it looks like Prime is the clear winner with Aperol Spritz coming a close second.

Home to the largest online community of foodservice professionals.
my family owns a local restaurant in a small town. we have “no outside food or drink” policy (excluding food/drinks for babies/toddlers & people with medical conditions) and we made sure to put big signs right by the door and also at the ordering counter. lately, people have beeen extremely rude when i reinforce the policy even when i nicely tell them that they can get it togo or they can dine outside (we have outside tables). also, often times, these people bring food from competitors establishments. but yeah, is it a common courtesy to not bring outside food into a restaurant?
EDIT: i am not talking about water bottles! i am talking about actual food and drinks like starbucks, coffee, smoothies, etc (because we also specializes in coffee). water is FINE.
another EDIT: my mom got called a bitch for NICELY, i repeat, NICELY tell a man we can’t have outside food in the cafe.
Sometimes I just need something to calm my mind down and make it stfu lol. But I don’t want it to be alcohol or drugs bc I already have a caffeine addiction as it is
People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request.
I worked at a KFC for about 6 months as my first job, and this happened towards the end of my stay.
One of our managers, who I'll dub "Jay" is pretty strict with us in order to keep up with time and company policy, but we didn't mind as he usually worked on line with us, rather then sit in the office all day. And he does not have patience for rude people.
And on one typical military payday Friday(in towns next to military bases, all soldiers come in force on payday), we were slammed, and he was working register, when a lady orders one of our 12 piece buckets, biscuits and all.
Now usually you can save some money by ordering them as a meal, gives you drinks as well. So as usual, he asks what drink she wants, intending to make it a meal automatically. She declines the drinks. He tries to explain: "Ma'am, if we make it a meal, you'll-"
And she cuts him off, with "I don't care, I don't need drinks."
As I said before, he hates rude people, so he immediately shuts up, smiles to me, says "Sandsnake7, can I get a 12 piece family fill up, and don't worry about the drinks." Before turning to her and finishing the order, which took a moment as we couldn't simply press the combo button anymore, rather we had to ring up all items themselves.. He then had to ring up every single item individually, which racks up the price given the amount of items. And then finishes the order, which was well above what the normal price would be.
It initially went off without a hitch, but unfortunately for us at the time,(retelling a funny story later wasn't really a thought at the time, rather we just wanted to keep the line moving) the family behind her ordered another 12 piece family fill up, but they ordered the combo.
As Jay was finishing up the second family order, the first one stepped aside to check the bags for everything, then they hear the price. Jay rang the second family for almost half the price of theirs, and she storms over.
"How come theirs is so cheap, we ordered the same thing." She asks.
To which Jay replies, wearing the standard issue customer service smile: "You said you didn't want no combo, ma'am, so I rang them up individually, ma'am, so you paid for them, not as a combo, but as the order you insisted on me making, ma'am."
She then asks for the manager, claiming we were scamming her, to which Jay responds by walking behind the wall, and coming back two seconds later wearing his manager vest. And Jay says, "Hello, I heard we had a problem and I came to see what I can help with."
She grabs her food and leaves.

Just curious what you do for food/drink at your place when DMing.
The short of it is I have 5 adult players. Three sessions in and my bill for providing food and drink is close is over $250. We’re all professionals, making 65k a year or more so it’s not like we’re young teenagers or students who aren’t able to work.
Is it appropriate to get a “beer and pizza” fund together or something of the sort? How do you broach that subject?
Or is the onus on the host to provide for everyone?
Playing DND for 20 years and I always either brought my own food/drink or the DM provided coffee and we eventually started to starve so we ordered pizza.
Any thoughts on addressing this or am I just being a cheapskate?
Edit: Wow, thanks for all the insight and making me feel like less of a cheapskate, along with sharing your own experiences in making food/drink work for your parties. I’ll establish some Guidelines next session and will do so at session zero going forward.
The comment that “the host needs to cook because they have the kitchen” sorta blindsided me but was good for a chuckle.
A place for sharing videos, gifs, and images of people being total bros.
Sometimes you just gotta treat yourself even when things are expensive. For me it’s Burdick hot cocoa. Nothing I’ve had from other places in the area has come close to the quality and it’s worth the premium.
I always drink coffee with my dinner and cold soft drinks or water with ice cream, and room temperature drinks with stuff like bread or random snacks.
People think I'm weird, but I can't fathom how people can drink cold beer or wine with steak. It's a complete mismatch.
Edit: Just so we're clear, I'm not forced by an unbendable law of reality enacted upon me by a being of ultimate power to do things this way. I can still drink cold stuff with hot food if nothing else is available. It's just a preference...
