Should Bagel Shops Charge For Toasting?

Hah, the customer is not always right. Besides, what does that have to do with what an establishment charges?

Should Bagel Shops Charge For Toasting?

"Charging for toasting is like charging more for a well-done burger, since it takes up more time on the griddle—a real affront to the customer."

Considering bagel shops don't usually serve burgers, I think it's safe to say this comparison is.. moot.


If you want the bagel toasted, they have to run it through a toaster, which uses electricity they have to pay for. If they want to pass the fee on to you- they have that right, and frankly it makes sense.
