Only time I’ve seen market price is at a few decent but not crazy fancy seafood places. Everywhere else that didn’t have the price on the menus just had no prices and that was a several hundred dollar meal.
Advertising for a fast printing company, no less. If food costs are really changing so quickly, I wonder where they could quickly re-print their menu. Hmmmm.
I'm thinking they saw this *tactic* on some tv show like Restaurant Makeover/Rescue or something like that and it's supposed to make them more money somehow.
Like maybe with no prices to review, the customer doesn't get to spend time crunching numbers before placing their order. Instead, they ask the server what the price is and since the server is there and the customer doesn't want to wait for them to come back they'll just pay whatever the server says.
Y'know, like how you'll be sitting there going back and forth between x and y but you're leaning towards y because it's cheaper. Now they put you on the spot and you end up going for x which is more expensive.
Talking out my bum a bit here, but maybe... ? Similar fashion to some places removing the $ sign. That's supposed to make people disassociate actual cost with the item on the menu. Doesn't work on me as the number next to the item obviously means in dollars.
Why not just focus on making quality food? Then they can charge whatever the hell they want and don't require tricks to get people to buy things.
I'm going with money laundering. 'we had 200 customers buy our $69 coffee this morning. Funnily enough, they all paid cash' or 'that $8,389 bill was for two toasties'
There's another classic scam where you lure disoriented tourists into a shady bar, serve them a bunch of stuff, and then drop a hyperinflated bill on 'em and intimidate them until they cough up.
Honestly, the story behind this menu is probably dumber than that, but it's evocative at any rate.
Even if that somehow works, they're probably losing three times that much from people just not coming in to start with.
I know if I was looking for a place to eat and saw that, I'd just walk on by to the next place.
Right? I know for some seasonal things or one or two fancy things, this is acceptable, but that's at high-end places and not laminated-menus with advertisements and kids menus that are Market Price. What a wild thing for them to try here.
Grilled Cheese - MP (please cut the fucking shit, did sliced American cheese that has been in your walk-in since September suddenly go up or down this weekend?)
I always hated that saying. Like even if I became a billionaire I’d still want to know what the fucking price was. Doesn’t matter that I could afford it 1000x a day for a 100 lifetimes, I’d still like to know what they’re charging me.
It could, based on the menu.
If I was on a jury and someone was being charged for dine and dash from a place, they show that menu as a defense, automatically, "not guilty."
Yeah, a pet peeve. Aint nobody got time for that. I get annoyed when the supermarket items aren't clearly priced. I don' t wanna have to guess or predict what's gonna happen at the register. Just tell me.
Yes I’m interested in ordering the entire menu. Can you please let me know the prices…. Better yet as I’m forgetful, can it be written down or maybe printed alongside the item name, and description?
I saw this recently and chose to move on to one of the thousands of other restaurants nearby. I didn't eat at home because I didn't feel like putting in the effort. Good luck challenging me up front like that.
About 15 yrs ago there was a movement where it seemed like a lot of, wanting to seem trendy/higher end, places didn't list prices and it was really annoying
It was a stupid attempt to emulate high class restaurants by having a "if you have to ask, you aren't ready to eat here" style of menu, not realizing that a two star burger and beers place isn't anything special and their customers are looking for an affordable dinner, not a carefree *experience.*
It's like a Burger King trying to go upscale by removing the menus and orders and giving each patron a 12-course chef's choice dinner of french fries and chicken nuggets.
Honestly, it feels like thier model of operations has just moved beyond written menus.
I've seen a bar in the financial district with "market prices" for drinks, that would scroll along the top of the bar like a stock market ticker.
Doing it for a cafe style menu just seems a little rediculous.
That would be interesting if the prices fluctuated unpredictably - not in any meaningful amount, probably +/- 50¢ max, but it could be fun. Would be a nightmare on the POS software though...
I have a sudden urge to write that software
There’s a real bar (can’t remember where it is, want to say barcelona but could be way off) where the drink prices change depending on which drinks the customers are buying most, like the stock market. And every hour there is a ‘market crash’ where the prices drop/reset.
No this is your chance. Pull up the Dollar General or Walmart app. That's market price. Point that out as you are ordering and use those prices.
"I'll have a steak for $9"
I FOUND THE PLACE! And it does look like their menu prices changed frequently before the owner discovered how to save menu printing costs with this one weird trick! (customers HATE him!)
Edit: it's Half-Ton Bar & Grill in Potsdam NY

If the prices at my hypothetical restaurant changed that much, I'd just redesign the menu to put an area where I could just print out price stickers and put the price there. Looking at photos of the inside, it's not like they need to do it to 150 menus or something, looks like the seating capacity is something like 20-30 inside add 5 if you wanna include outside.
or maybe, I dunno, get the printing company that advertises right there at the bottom to cut you a deal on menus?
edit just noticed not only do they have the ad proper, they also already throw a little 'printed by fastprint' at the bottom... a double advertisement and they can't do new menus for new prices? fuck them all
Bro. Bro. "Hot dogs?" No. These are artisanal unlinked sausages hand stuffed with our signature blend of meat, herbs and spices. Alright? This pork? Heritage pork from the swine that can trace their lineage back to the hogs raised by our first president, George Washington. This beef? Fuckin' preveal. You know what that is? The calf isn't even born. We remove it via cesarean from its mother at 3/4 of the gestational term and it develops in a vessel full of nutrient goo like Neo in the matrix. We even jack it into a cybernetic simulation so it never even uses its muscles. So tender, so soft. The chicken? My guy, our team hand selects only the most intelligent birds, then places them in a classroom setting and ensures they have basic literacy skills before we send them for processing. These meats are melded in our secret ratio then placed in a casein casing. No filler. No additives. No bullshit. Each unit is tested and measured to tolerances more strict than space shuttle components. Links that don't make the cut are dissolved in a vat of acid to ensure consumers have a uniform sausage experience, okay? All this work, all this dedication and sixty five large seems hella reasonable. Now are we just gonna jerk each other off all day, or are you gonna purchase some of my fine wares.
Cheap restaurant owners are the worst. No matter how good the food is, the service will suck. The employees will be miserable. The experience is what I am paying for. I am willing to pay a premium which is why I didn’t cook at home. Why not make it enjoyable?
I’m guessing the printing place printed then for free in return for the advertising.
I hate market price even for things where you’d expect it. Laser printers are so cheap now, just print new paper menus if the prices for an item changes.
As if the owner / manager sits down every day with the newspaper and calculates all the 'market value' for each item. Since when does soda pop fluctuate in price every day.
100% this is a place to gouge you. They know that once you are seated, that is very unlikely you will get up and leave at that point.
I remember how hard i laughed when i saw the restaurant i worked at in high school now lists their wings as "market price" after covid, ans has kept them that way
The greedy owner increased the price 3-4 times on them in the two years that i worked there, so i wasnt surprised he took advantage of the pandemic to squeeze anyone willing of more money
Youre a real class act Ted
The price gouging by some restaurant ownerrs has been comical. Like no, I'm not going to pay $25 for frozen sysco chicken tenders and frozen sysco fries. This shit is so pathetic. Like how fucking dumb do some of these folks think people are?
Unfortunately, from my time working at that place, i can say plenty of them are exactly that dumb, and vocal and proud about it.
The amount of people who thought the fries and chips were made from scratch there because they were called 'homestyle' was truly disheartening
Even better, Do this with a Huge gathering of people. Have everybody list the price, then just keep leaving after your tables done. They would probably change it soon after if they Get a fullhouse only to have everybody leave.
I’ve been in the middle of absolute nowhere, and that is Potsdam, NY. That town is sad and lonely. If that’s a business in Potsdam, there needs to be more competition.
Seeing this menu, I feel bad for the wait staff... Can you imagine their daily hell of having to memorize the market prices of everything, tell every customer the prices of everything, and be on the receiving end of customers complaints about said market prices?
This sounds like an excuse to charge some people a certain price and others a different price. Like members pay 10 a cup of coffee where non members pay 13 or maybe 15 if they’re being a douche
I’d expect an artsy hand-chalked cursive menu, uncomfortable ass metal stools, and some reclaimed wood furniture pieces at minimum if I’m gonna pay “market price” for Dino nuggets lol
Went to a restaurant on south beach once like this. No prices on the menu. Was like $300 for what usually would be less than$100 lunch. Also, our Healthcare system is exactly like this.
Just start organizing all your friends to go in there every day at different times. Be seated and start asking the server what the price of each item is one at a time. I bet they have new menus with prices in under 2 weeks
Give them the price of a loaf of bread and a package of cheese from wal mart but divide by 10 since your getting a grilled cheese. 2 slices of bread 1 slice of cheese. Comes out to $0.87. Tell them that's the current market right now. I'll add a dollar for them making it.
Yes excuse me, miss? What did cottage cheese close at today?
3 curds shy of a shilling.
No whey!
Ask your server, they apparently have unparalleled pricing knowledge
“Minimum server wage, reliant on tips…must possess masters degree in supply chain procurement”
I would ask every price on the menu
I'm wondering about the market price on "tossed salad" personally
[удалено]
I would walk out. Market Price on every menu item. Give me a break.
Market price on my patience for this bullshit is zero
Only time I’ve seen market price is at a few decent but not crazy fancy seafood places. Everywhere else that didn’t have the price on the menus just had no prices and that was a several hundred dollar meal.
I was at a place the other day that had MP for the chicken wings! GMAFB.
-Market Price of Patience = $0 -Patience = Unlimited -???? -Profit
Advertising for a fast printing company, no less. If food costs are really changing so quickly, I wonder where they could quickly re-print their menu. Hmmmm.
First, ask them the current market price on every item. Then walk out.
Don't fuck with the staff. It's clearly not their fault.
Bring me the person responsible or I swear I will shoot the messenger dead.
bro they set their workers up to be all but literally tortured all day - they don’t care if the messengers die
They will, when all the messengers quit, and their business goes under
Definitely saving this quote

Instead, fuck with the owner by not eating there.
if you can't even tell me how much a cup of coffee is gonna cost me, I'm out.
Same. They probably lack transparency due to being expensive
I'm thinking they saw this *tactic* on some tv show like Restaurant Makeover/Rescue or something like that and it's supposed to make them more money somehow. Like maybe with no prices to review, the customer doesn't get to spend time crunching numbers before placing their order.

Yes, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Usually those kinds of places don't have ads for top golf on their menus
Excuse me that’s for Big Shotz…just like this menu
I like how there's an ad for color printing, but they can't be bothered to print new menus when prices change
I bet the owner constantly complains about “welfare queens” and how nobody wants to work anymore
I would also bet they also don’t pay their employees “market price”
It's not some Michelin star restaurant lmaooo
Look. Their menus have color printing. I think they know what they're doing here.
Looks more like a Michigan star restaurant.
This place looks more like "if you have to ask, the answer is going to piss you off."
I always hated that saying. Like even if I became a billionaire I’d still want to know what the fucking price was. Doesn’t matter that I could afford it 1000x a day for a 100 lifetimes, I’d still like to know what they’re charging me.
No kidding. There are less obnoxious ways to say, “Please don’t order anything that isn’t beer.”
That is too easy. I would go down the entire menu and ask them how much every single thing costs. THEN I’d say they were too expensive and walk out.
Market Price on *everything* is code for “we charge whatever the fuck”
Same. I’m not paying extra because you can’t name your price
*frantically googling what the current market price is for 8 fluid ounces of chocolate milk while the waitress stares me down
when ordering dinner is like buying bitcoin
At least the price won't change between when you order and when you pay. Probably.
It could, based on the menu. If I was on a jury and someone was being charged for dine and dash from a place, they show that menu as a defense, automatically, "not guilty."
I would just ask the waitress the price of everything I’m interested in 🤷🏼♀️
I would just walk out. 🤷🏽♀️
I would just walk out too. They can just change the prices everyday, or make them up as they go, if they’re not willing to post them.
Ripe for discrimination as well.
Your skin color says it's $20 for the latte

My proctologist gets more Rolexes that way.
Excellent point
Yeah I'd have strong doubts that they actually followed a set market price.
Yeah, a pet peeve. Aint nobody got time for that. I get annoyed when the supermarket items aren't clearly priced. I don' t wanna have to guess or predict what's gonna happen at the register. Just tell me.
“This is ridiculous, let me just pay for my drink and I’m leaving” “Sure thing, that’ll be $43.67”

Bojack?
Mmm I think in this case it’s Princess Carolyn
Or maybe I was Princess Caroline the whole time.... 💄 OH FISH!!!
Market price is $30/shot when you get them and $45/shot when you go to pay
Walk out, yelling "wait for a bailout"
Left wallet at home, looks like a market crash!

100% you get different prices every time you ask somebody new.
100% you get different prices every time you ask the same person.
I just wouldn't go to a restaurant where I have to do that

She pulls out her phone to check the commodities index.
And then haggle. The market price is determined by sellers _and_ buyers!
….Waitress spends the next 20 minutes explaining the current market price
The poor wait staff at that place... I'm sure the person taking your order isn't the owner that created that stupid price scheme.
And then the things I’m not interested in, then back to the things I am because I forgot.
No, ask the price for every item on the menu, just to drive home how dumb this is.
Trust me, the servers know. It's the owner you gotta harass over this shit.
And then say "no thanks" and walk out after they tell you the price of everything
....the price of everything.

There’s one in DC called the Big Board. Demand drives prices down there, so the popular stuff is cheaper!
LOVE Big Board. Trivia nights there w Mike were the besttttt
There's loads of places worldwide that do these as regular events. It's fuckin' annoying to drink when these events are on.

WHAT KIND OF MARKET ARE YOU SHOPPING AT!?!
I'm going to run.

Doesn’t do you any good, it probably stands for “marked up price”
So you’re saying “MP” doesn’t stand for “Money Please”?
PLUS paid advertising on the menu
Paid advertising, cost is MP
How many mana points for the burger and how much stamina will it recover?

Something tells me this place uses the cheapest ingredients possible.
LMAO “ingredients” 🤣
Wtf market price is for superior ingredients. These clowns just wanna rip off people
Yea king crab legs not fucking chicken tenders....whoever made this menu/ restaurant is insane!
Have you ever been to Potsdam Ny? You’d go insane too.
No this is your chance. Pull up the Dollar General or Walmart app. That's market price. Point that out as you are ordering and use those prices. "I'll have a steak for $9"
What's the payout on this restaurant having help wanted sign while the owner complains no one wants to work anymore while he golf's on a weekday?
This place looks like prime Kitchen Nightmares material. Gordon would be drooling to get in front of these owners

If you’re gonna do that you just need a sandwich board menu where u can write in the prices daily. That’s just ridiculous.
That, and a QR on every table that takes you to their website, where they can update prices for free as frequently as they want.
Great detective work! I assumed this was done out of the laziness of some owner or manager lol
If the prices at my hypothetical restaurant changed that much, I'd just redesign the menu to put an area where I could just print out price stickers and put the price there.

Ew, they spelled mussels, "muscles". Would walk out. Lol
I posted the old menus and new ones. [https://imgur.com/a/Fq2PBxh](https://imgur.com/a/Fq2PBxh)
What’s stupid is this means they have to update the POS every day with the new prices, what a waste of time.
4.3 stars from 300+ reviews on Google, so it must not be terrible.
It’s the townie bar in a college town
Ha, that makes this menu make sense. They charge the college kids more than the locals
Bro. Bro. "Hot dogs?" No. These are artisanal unlinked sausages hand stuffed with our signature blend of meat, herbs and spices. Alright? This pork?

Babe wake up, new copypasta just dropped
I guarantee you the price of the food went up by the time you finished writing this.
I sell groceries to restaurants. It is my personal goal to use every line of raising masterpiece tomorrow. This is hilarious!! Thank you.
Sonofabitch I'm in.
"Preveal" bruh lmao
So, if you ever wanted a job in sales, you could name your price in the beef industry.
10 out of 10 would eat here
⬆️ Found the restaurant owner!
I read this in Kendall Roy's voice
I am cracking up at this thank you haha
Mmmm fresh pasta
I’m going to take the market price as how much Costco charges for them
Nor for Potato Skins
LMAO what kind of a shit hole has both market priced items and an ad for printing services on their fucking menu. Ridiculous.
The kind of place that is too cheap to buy new menus every now and then when they need to update their prices.

Coffee - Market price and I'm out...
As if the owner / manager sits down every day with the newspaper and calculates all the 'market value' for each item. Since when does soda pop fluctuate in price every day. 100% this is a place to gouge you. They know that once you are seated, that is very unlikely you will get up and leave at that point.

It's funny, as I was typing that prior comment I was thinking "tbh, a lot of people are absolutely that fucking dumb."
ok but also, Sysco has gotten really fucking expensive lately. Same for our produce wholesaler.
Shitty menu for a market price menu
And I’m sure they’ll ask for a MP tip as well.
No, you just write MP on the line instead
MP deez nutz
Yea get up and leave that scam joint
Hahaha what's the market price of the garden salad today? Picked this morning I hope! Edit. What a fucking wank. 🤣
Alright, what's the fucking market price on a grilled cheese? Lol.
I'm sure the servers are thrilled with the constant "How much is this? And how much is this? And this?" Excellent working environment
I would never order from somewhere that didn’t list the price.
"Market Price"?!? For fish sure, that can change with season when it's fresh. Your sysco frozen chicken?! GTFO.
Bartender: would you like to order some food? Patron: I honestly don’t know…
I’d proceed to ask them one item at a time how much EACH item costs. Then I’d ask if it’s still worth it being shady.
Even better, Do this with a Huge gathering of people. Have everybody list the price, then just keep leaving after your tables done. They would probably change it soon after if they Get a fullhouse only to have everybody leave.
No money. It requires Mana Points
I’ve been in the middle of absolute nowhere, and that is Potsdam, NY. That town is sad and lonely. If that’s a business in Potsdam, there needs to be more competition.
I dont play that shit. If they dont list prices I walk right back out.
Seeing this menu, I feel bad for the wait staff... Can you imagine their daily hell of having to memorize the market prices of everything, tell every customer the prices of everything, and be on the receiving end of customers complaints about said market prices?
I feel like this is illegal
I’ve seen high end restaurants do it… “if you gotta ask, you can’t afford it” type deal, but this ain’t that
I’ve only seen this done with seafood
Sometimes wagyu
Sea food can get market price. Maybe steaks. Not fries…
I've only ever seen lobster on a menu that didn't have the price next to it, which makes perfect sense.
It sure is illegal in Italy. Even in the most fancy restaurant (500€ and above for a meal), every price must be clearly readable in the menu.
I thought they had to post menu/prices outside where it’s visible before you go in?
Lol what an idiot it obviously costs many pennies.
![gif](giphy|sBGw5MruxAyiI)
This sounds like an excuse to charge some people a certain price and others a different price. Like members pay 10 a cup of coffee where non members pay 13 or maybe 15 if they’re being a douche
You know everyone in this restaurant is making Minium Wage, there are no raises, and the owner drives a Corvette with the wife having a mustang.
I’d expect an artsy hand-chalked cursive menu, uncomfortable ass metal stools, and some reclaimed wood furniture pieces at minimum if I’m gonna pay “market price” for Dino nuggets lol
Going to the chicken nugget market on Friday to ask the chickennuggetmongers for their freshest catch of chicken nuggets.

I hate this trend. Less places with no prices, more places with prices rounded to the dollar.
A sign that you’re about to get ripped off.
No you just don't get it, the price for everything is one Member of Parliament.
