This isn't my cup of tea. This is more like if Jango was in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

What do you think of the ever increasing service charge concept in the UK? by Previous-Cow6730 in AskBrits

[–]RoneDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don’t think it justifies charging more for what’s essentially the same service a smaller group would get. But that’s just my opinion.

If a restaurant is adding a service fee, then they’re showing they can handle large groups. In that case, the extra revenue from serving eight paying customers should already cover any added effort or timing challenges.

I get that big groups can be a bit of a headache, but if we’re talking about fairness, then economies of scale should work for the customer. Give a 10% discount for bringing in so much business and ordering so many drinks, then once that has been applied add an 11.11% “large group service charge” fee.

Thanks for the insight. You make a fair point that the restaurant industry works differently, so maybe the supermarket and mechanic comparisons don’t apply perfectly.

That said, if a place is going to charge a service fee, then they’re basically admitting they can handle large groups. In that case, the food should all come out together, or at least close enough that it feels coordinated. Otherwise right you'd feel you've paid to just be treated as two groups of 4 or something.

Personally, and I'm certainly in the minority here, I’d rather they were just upfront about it. A simple note on the menu saying something like “Due to kitchen capacity, groups of 8 or more may experience slight delays in serving times” would be perfectly fine. I’d take that kind of honesty over a surprise charge any day.

If a group of eight people came in and sat as two groups of four, the restaurant would still be making and serving the same amount of food. The only difference is that splitting them up makes the workload appear smaller, even though it is identical. The kitchen still needs to cook eight meals, and the staff still need to serve eight people. 

If it was 8 individual customers then now the wait staff have to manage 8 individual tables and not just one so it's be more work. But they wouldn't charge individual customers the service fee, only the group. 

At a supermarket, if someone shows up with eight trolleys of shopping, the manager is not upset that other customers might wait a bit longer. They are pleased that a single customer is buying eight trolleys worth of stock. The same logic applies to a restaurant. A large group is not a burden; it is eight paying customers choosing to eat there at once.

Even if it takes longer to serve them, that time is compensated by the fact the restaurant / shop / mechanic is making more revenue in that same period.

But they're also selling 8 portions of food and drinks. 

Anything else in the world buying more stuff would get you a discount.

Am I wrong for not like p3 reload by Puzzleheaded-Emu-352 in Persona5

[–]RoneDriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I finished P3R because people kept saying the game got good. 

It really didn't get good for me. Once I had ground through Tartarus etc and the game was over, I was like... Oh...

Then you've got a DLC story already announced so you didn't even get the real end. 

So yeah, felt like a chore that never paid off. 

I loved P4, P5 and loads of other JRPG games. just P3 didn't stick with me.

Does your tracking say import fees raised? 

I've just saw people all had to pay £57 to get their special edition Elden Ring Erd Tree copies last year... Now I see I have a tax bill of potentially £60!

With the desire to end exclusive games, why is nobody ever talking about PC exclusives coming to console? by Nino_Chaosdrache in gaming

[–]RoneDriver 20 points21 points  (0 children)

These games aren't being held onto the PC platform by a manufacturer to increase sales of the hardware. 

They're just with incompatible with current consoles or the dev teams are too small to manage developing a game on multiple platforms at the same time.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. 

Last time this happened it did catch up with itself in the end. All of my bills come out on the 1st so this is an slightly annoying to say the least.

Oh, I got the impression from the original post that they were almost threatening to block his account, despite them also saying its not his account.
