re: Restaurants charging for a refill or cup of sauce

If you shake the salt shaker at the tale, should you be charged? You use two sugar packets jn your tea, should your tea cost more than the guy who uses one? It comes to a point where these things are inconsequential. Certain things I understand. Like a place I worked limited ketchup packets we put with to go orders. But that was just how many we put in there, if the customer asked for more we'd put more. The cost to make a 5 gallon bucket of ranch isn't that much. When you start nickeling and diming, its noticed by the customer. Thats not just in restaurants. If a grocery store started charging rental fees for a buggy, you'd probably be less likely to shop there. I understand covering costs, but I honestly think you should price your food to cover these low end things. It would be less noticeable to me at least. I'm not going to not eat somewhere because its 50 cents more per meal.
