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?

I really like cheese on a toasted teacake (although we always called it a teasted toecake in my house).That doesn’t seem weird to me, what on earth does your brother have in it?

Wow! Legally they can’t charge for something they haven’t advertised. You don’t have the info to enter into a contract with with them, as trivial as red onions are. I’ve used this argument and it works.

well @WomanOfSteel , he just used it instead of a bread cake for everything - I think tuna Mayo is the weirdest I remember!

50p tops. I don't think onion is an extra filling, it's not half a tin of tuna or an egg is it.

Nothing. But I know a charge would be added and I’d expect it to be 50p.

50p, but I'm guessing its something extortionate like £2.50.

They are clearly embarrassed by it, otherwise they would display it on the menu as £2.95 per additional item, where they are encouraging you to order off menu. Since they are encouraging people to do that it doesn't feel like they should be charging extra at all.

Personally if I owned such an establishment I wouldn’t charge extra for a bit of red onion, but I would say 50p is acceptable. £2.95??? WT……!

No-one is questioning £7.50 for a sandwich in the first place ? They saw you coming !!!

I wouldn’t expect to pay anything extra.

80p.

@Bottomlesspockets Not unusual if it comes with chips/fries etc.

London - add £1 to £1.20

Jesus Christ and I was fuming at being charged £5 for a glass of water in The Ivy which is also overrated!!

£2.95 is crazy . I bought a [whole!] red onion in Sainsbury's last week ~ 11p .

Haha 2.95 for extra onions is the sort of thing that if you post on face book you suddenly get a load of defenders going that it is perfectly reasonable and that it's a hard time for businesses.

Well to be fair it was probably an artisan sandwich on artisan bread with artisan onions and in an artisan building.

50p max incl labour costs 😂 but would really cost it as 20p.

Ridiculous! I'd expect an extra half a sandwich for that. I hope there's somewhere you can leave a review to warn others.

£2.95!! That's amazing!

We go to a local cafe every Sunday because they encourage customisation (on certain items, sandwiches being one) and my son loves it. The pricing on the board is very transparent. Items which cost .75p are all in one list and items costing £1.50 are all in another. (I'm making up those amounts; suspect they have gone up post covid) I would actually laugh if red onion were £2.95!

That's approximately 40% of the price of the original sandwich!

That's fkg ludicrous

So over a tenner for a ruddy sandwich? No wonder places are going bust.

50p although it’s already on the menu and onion is not that expensive they should charge 20p

I once ordered a "prawn & coleslaw" sarnie in Glasgow.
One shrimp - not even a prawn.
I eventually got a refund after a "free & frank" discussion with the wankers behind the counter.

£1 at the most, I worked in cafes for years, and we never charged more than that. In fact we charged less, but that was a couple of years ago, so £1 is a reasonable price these days.

50p
