Rising prices in gastronomy are heating up the mood. Because some of them can hardly be surpassed in terms of daring.
The still water for 5 euros in the Happel Stadium as a symbol of how the wave of inflation has already hit the catering industry. The spectrum consumers face almost daily ranges from well-hidden price hikes to unabashed increases.
Here are two specific examples:
Case 1: Hidden 15 Euro “laundry costs”
Case one falls into the category of “hidden” inflation: a “Krone” reader had invited 15 people to eat in a cozy inn: “Nice guest garden, clean, sober, nothing special,” reports Mr. S. He is alone interested in the extraordinary he encounters at home when he checks the bill. It contained features that he didn’t even know existed until now.
Because in addition to the not unusual costs for cover (1 euro per person), the man was also charged 15 euros “laundry costs”. Whether this was charged for going to the toilet, washing hands or washing dishes is not clear from the receipt and will probably be up to the imagination of the guests. It is no different with the item “Kitchen”, which is also on the voucher for 5.50 euros. All in all “hidden” costs of more than 35 euros. “After all, prices were otherwise moderate,” says the patient reader.
Case 2: Brazen 8.60 euros for a summer splash
The prices in the second case were anything but mediocre, with the guest of an Italian in Mariahilf being shocked to discover two large summer splashes for 17.20 euros in his account. After consultation with the waiter involved, five euros was waived.
