A Matter of Business?
One has to wonder if restaurants are taking a financial hit from adult customers ordering kids’ menu items. On the other hand, in a Reddit thread from three years ago, one user wrote about the time when their mother tried to order from the kids’ menu but was denied by the server. She chose to share a pizza instead of ordering her own meal. They said they had a good laugh “because the restaurant ended up losing money because of it.”
But according to one Redditor, the restaurant probably did not lose money because of how kids’ meals are targeted and sold.
“The restaurant likely did not lose money. Kids meals are typically sold either at cost or even at a loss in order to bring in families who will also order the profit-generating entries,” they wrote.
The Final Question
So, what do you think: Should adults be allowed to order off the kids’ menu, or is it okay for restaurants to ban it?
