(+) Yeah! (+)

If you go to basically any restaurant and even many fast food places, you do.

That $10 sprite at salt bae had me thinking. $10 is basically just 3 glasses of sprite at an Outback, Chilis, or even some fast food places.

Funny how people are ok with this enough that these places are across the country and slowly raise prices not lower them.

McDonalds has sodas for cheap.

$1.50?

Most places come with free refills on fountain drinks, and those that do not are a scam.

$3 even with free refills is more than paying for a gallon of soda

Yes, but everything in a restaurant is going to be more expensive from the get go, so it's not an overly big deal so long as it's not outrageously marked up like movie theater or theme park food.

So you are ok to be upcharged based on how fancy the place is?

People pay 8 bucks for a bottle of beer at a bar.

So $10 sprite at a fancy place isn't that surprising.
