re: Restaurants charging for a refill or cup of sauce

Actually, you have this wrong. It should say:

Cane's wouldn't be as large as it is now if they weren't so insistent upon charging $.29 for a thing of sauce in order to reduce loss and maintain margins, which allows for reinvestment and growth.

It has nothing to do with reducing loss and maintaining margins at Cane's. You can get all the free ketchup and honey mustard sauce you want there.

It has to do with Cane's sauce being the draw to the restaurant in the first place. People like Cane's sauce and go there because of it. Thus, they put a premium on it, it's an exclusivity thing.
