It’s cheaper to eat out? How?! I work at a bakery in Germany and the bag for taking this away is more expensive than the water for washing a plate by far. Even if it’s standing room only, that’s not really something that needs pricing pressure, people will figure it out. We even have tax breaks for dining-in here, making it even cheaper comparatively, but that’s just because of the pandemic and is going to end soon.
In the UK VAT (20% tax) is charged for food that's eaten in. The model is based more on sit-down restaurants than somewhere like Greggs, but if they have a counter and a couple of stools then they have to charge VAT if you eat on the premises.
