you are actually paying for labor and overhead when you buy food not the raw cost of ingredients you spergs

Also rent

That said, paying $4 for toast is still extremely retarded

baking bread is labor intensive also you need to count the cost of labor & ingredients for the toppings such as jam, fresh-made butter etc. overhead in SF is gonna be a lot more than overhead in richmond or san leandro so of course your prices are gonna seem higher. $4 for this dish is not unreasonable at all imo but then again maybe i've worked in the restaurant biz too long to have perspective

He didn't bake the bread though. He bought bread from a bakery, which sandwich shops do as well, but I would argue that sandwiches are far more transformative than toast.

I love toast. it is a lifestyle. I could see myself paying $4 for toast if it is really good bread, and it comes with really good butter and toppings. My last meal involved toast with cheese, because I love toast and cheese.

if you ever bought french toast at a restaurant idk how its different than this toast seller.

gently caress think of the markup on pancakes and eggs. Or getting a simple americano at a cafe.

3.50 for a hefty slice of in house made loafs with cream cheese or w/e seems about as reasonable as a lot of things.

In the op they specifically say they make the loafs and toppings themselves from locally sourced organic poo poo.

Which dont get me wrong i think thats a dumb thing to pay a huge markup for but for the people who do want those kinds of premiums 3.50 is not an unreasonable price to pay.

What? He absolutely bakes the bread. Are you just straight up deciding that he doesn't, that's the case, and barfing it out online? Did you miss the giant ovens in the back of the store in that video? C'MON SON

I started this thread just trollin' but now I'm actually on the toast guy's side, how else is he supposed to keep up with overhead? He probably has to pay unbelievable rent because its SF, gotta pay the dumbass workers $15/hr to sell bread all day, gotta buy a bunch of bullshit "organic" and "gourmet" ingredients for the hipsters... poo poo, that toast SHOULD be $20.

$4 for what looks like a big chunk of bread and gourmet spread seems reasonable to me tbh

The video says it's actually $3.50 - $3.75 per slice of toast with topping. Isn't that roughly what a bagel + cream cheese costs? Nobody shits their pants about that, and it's the same thing; toasted bread product + cream cheese.

I personally don't really eat them, so I can't say I'm up on prices, but I just went to Panera's website and tried to order one and with cream cheese it comes out to over $3.



And Panera is some plain, middle-class boring poo poo, not anything fancy.

:agreed:

But nobody is accusing them of ruining the world for charging $3.30 for a bagel with cream cheese. But $3.50 - $3.75 for toast with cream cheese is a bridge too far.

EDIT: I kind of assume a bagel with cream cheese costs even more than that at Starbucks, but I couldn't find prices listed on their website, so I went with Panera.
