    Some of these places don't have a choice, either they charge a measly 50 cents extra, or they sink, period. Many of these places aren't even able to pay rent, if you are bitching over 50 cents, then nothing I say is likely to persuade you, but these business didn't ask to basically be shut down, that 50 cents extra is likely covering all the extra clam shells or whatever they are putting your food in.

    You didn't say that. You said "Those restaurant gougers try to sneak in 50cents to dollar more AND give less portion without noticing it later."

    You're not getting ripped off. They're providing a service under extra ordinary circumstances and you think they're taking advantage of you. In a free market society, of which you often profess to be in favor of, there's no such thing as price gouging. It's what the market will bear.

    Maybe they changed their pricing and you're looking at an old menu? Maybe there's a different cook that portions differently. Maybe there was a misunderstanding or a language barrier? Lot of what-if's there. For you to make an assumption they're gouging you is petty.

    I didn't do any name calling in my first post. Now I will. Your attitude and what you're saying is a total dick move. There. Now go tattle to a mod.
