I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits.

I cancelled my order and got local street tacos instead.

EDIT: Look what I found this morning, lol https://www.today.com/food/restaurants/buffalo-wild-wings-takeout-fee-backlash-complaint-rcna90228

It's a charge for the container your takeout food went into. They're a significant expense, especially if it's any type of sustainable packaging. This is not new. It has been a thing since at least the early 2000s.

I'd disagree with that there, these things are bought in bulk for literal pennies from wholesalers

I have never seen that style of container for takeout in my life and I spent two decades in the service industry. That's not common in America.

Still, for arguments sake that works out to about £.05 per box. Of course, that's if you go to the wholesaler to pick it up. If you're running a restaurant, you probably get it delivered with the rest of your dried goods. You pay for that, just like you pay for the cutlery and the napkins and the sauce packets and the bag it all goes in.

A buck really isn't unreasonable here. I've worked at spots where the takeout container was $0.30 each, and that's without figuring in the delivery/fuel surcharge.
