1. Stating the price of 'specials' should really be standard practice.

2a "Market Price" is one thing, but a standard 'special' is another.
2b. One can feel 'cheap' asking, especially in a Group lunch/dinner.
3. But I'd rather be looked upon as "cheap" than feel 'gouged', as the OP.

re #2, perhaps it's a psycholgical matter employed for profit $$$.



Buyer beware, and don't be shy.

Definitely sound advice! I really question that when they don’t state the amount up front...devious, I say.
