How much would you expect to pay for this?

If you're in a cafe and order chicken mayonnaise sandwiches but ask to add a little chopped red onion to the sandwich.

How much would you expect to pay for the addition of red onion?

50p-£1 for the onion

Maybe £2 is it was say avocado, extra meat

Thanks all. I appreciate the responses.

So £2.95 for a bit of chopped onion is a little excessive then?

£2.95 - that's nuts!

Bloody hell.£2.95 is ridiculous! Honestly, I would have thought that it would have been free.

Fuck, I thought I was going to get ridiculed for suggesting 2 quid! Hope you questioned the cost?!

I would have expected nothing, won't be concerned at 50p but £2.95, I would never go back and would leave a review to warn others

Did they tell you the price beforehand or was it just added to the bill?

If the former I hope you went without the red onion and if the latter I hope you complained?

Nothing or a nominal amount, it’s red onion

Wow that's ridiculous!! Did you complain?

I was going to guess high and say £1.50 but yikes that's taking the piss a bit! Did they tell you it would be an extra £3 quid before hand? It's a bonkers amount when compared to the cost of a full sandwich.

£2.95 for red onion when all the sandwiches cost the same? Surely that’s a mistake

£2.95! That's insane! Did you challenge them on it? I'd love to know their justification for that!

No wonder they encourage people to add extra options. I can understand it being a couple of quid if someone wants to add cheese to a ham sandwich (or vice versa) to make it a cheese and ham one, but a bit of onion?

That's crazy....

I was going to say 50p.

I would say 50p, £1 max.

£2.95 is extortionate!

No they didn't tell me in advance. I did complain and they grudgingly removed it from the bill. I don't mind paying extra for it if necessary but I thought £2.95 for less than a tenth of a small red onion was taking the piss. I could have had a steak or prawn baguette for the additional cost they wanted to charge me.

Whaaaat that taking the piss. My local shop only charges 50p extra per item for their breakfast rolls. That's outrageous

Nothing/would think about it. More than 50p seems mad for a bit of red onion.

I know the type of sandwich shop you mean OP, I’ve got a hankering now!

I wouldn't even class red onion as a filling. More if an accompaniment. I mean you wouldn't have an onion sandwich would you. It's literally a few rings of onion if that.

*WOULDNT think about it

Ouch, £2.95 for a slice or two of onion brings tears to my eyes!

I own a catering business and I wouldn't charge anything if someone asked this.

Total exploitation

Very underhanded of them to not inform you of how much extra it would be before adding it. I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face when they said it was an extra £3! Would love to have heard them try to justify it.

It's good that they removed it but it would probably put me off using them again.

That is an absolute piss take for a bit of red onion!
