The man took to Reddit to share his shock and shared a photo of his receipt alongside the caption, ‘For the doubters: yes, I really paid $77 for two egg and bacon rolls and two iced coffees at a Darwin beachside cafe yesterday.’
The two bacon and egg rolls both with the addition of avocado cost a whopping $44.
The two iced coffees cost a total of $20 plus an extra $6 for ice cream and a $7 Sunday surcharge bringing the total to a hefty $77.
The post was met with more than 300 comments—with many also left in shock, sharing their horror at the price of his meal.
“That is absolutely crazy. Were they any good at least?” Asked one.
“That’s why I don’t go out anymore,” said another.
“You got ripped off big time,” said a third.
“Charging an extra $3 for ice cream, that should already be included in a $10 iced coffee,” someone suggested.
However, one disagreed and asked, “Don’t people check the prices before they order?”
Recently, a NSW cafe was slammed for charging customers $4 for a babycino, the same price as a cup of piccolo.
An Australian patron complained on social media about the unreasonable cost of the child’s frothy cup of steamed milk when she visited the venue with her family.
“Seriously?! I understand inflation and the costs of running a small hospitality business but do you really need to charge $4 for about 50mL of milk?” the mum said in a Facebook group.
“I have never known anyone ever to order a babycino only, there’s always coffees (and money) being made already with the order. In our case, $38.
“We don’t go out much but is this the norm now?”
The mum shared a picture showing three empty cups taped to a wall with prices of the beverages – including $8 for a large iced latte or adult milkshake, $7 for a small iced latte or kids milkshake and $4 for a babycino or piccolo.
Many were “gobsmacked” over the “pretty outrageous” price of the babycino.
“I have never seen a babycino more than $2,” one said.
Another shared: “That’s absolutely ridiculous no way I would pay $4 for a babycino especially because I get a latte and it would just be the bit of foam off the top of the milk they use for it.”
However, one suggested: “The people spending money on this are literally part of the problem.”
