Dante’s Inferno- Eighth Circle, Bolgia 7: Restaurants Charging $2.50 for tea

fire-kavewall Do only city establishments get away with such thievery? Or is this a well-shared sin? If you are charging more than a dollar for a cup of tea at your restaurant, then the customer should reasonably expect a certain amount of pomp and circumstance surrounding it. This means, above all else, do not serve the customer a cup of hot water with a not even-open Lipton tea bag. The thievery! The lack of respect to the customer’s palate! Once you pass the dollar amount, tea ought to be served in an elegant tea pot with some ceremony to convince the customer there is an additional $1.50 of effort in there.  Don’t condemn yourselves into the Eight Circle, tea bag sinners. There’s nibbling  lizards and snakes in there.  Stop ripping us off.
