Pop Up Hotdogs - first 50 dogs are on us

[Citizen66]

actually, looking at their site, you appear to be able to eat in.

Really? What does 'pop up' mean then? Maybe it means street vendor with seats.

it just means it's (in theory at least) in it's location temporarily.

Oh right. I'm arguing from a position of ignorance then.

Thats what the internet is for.

I declare myself victorious

 

[Citizen66]

I hope there's a hotdog vendor at York station.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

They ask that to know whether to give you the food on a tray or in a bag.

And also to decide how much to charge you. It is usually cheaper "to go".

AND BYOB! this place looks like a bargain!
actually apart from this deal the menu does look pretty pricey.

No, it's the same price. In McDonald's that is, we're not discussing anywhere else.

yeh, plenty of other places charge more to eat in.

Generally it's because you pay VAT when you eat in I think. If places charge the same they must be absorbing the cost.

Round these parts a tenner for this hotdog meal thing would be considered a complete rip off by most people. But I probably wouldn't have been so surprised by it when I lived in that there London, so I guess I see Killer B's point.

Somewhat OT, but this is a point that's often missed when people complain about tax increases - it could just as easily come out of the profit margins of the enormous global companies rather than be added to the price to the customer. Of course, most people still see it as "their right" to make as much profit as they can, and it's the nasty taxman just being greedy

I guess companies like McDonalds decided the negative impact of charging two different prices was worth swallowing, though would be interesting to see if they rounded down or up

 

[killer b]

There's already vat on hot food. They cant charge it twice for sitting in too.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'd always thought it was because you'd be taking up space in their establishment, to be honest.

 

[killer b]

Yes. Thats because it is.
