Condiments no. Condoms yes.

I've done this to get around corkage fees. Order something really cheap, pour out whatever condiment they give you in a ramekin/dish, fill the ramekin with wine, dip appetizer or pour some over salad. You can't charge corkage for a condiment. Be sure to tip well though or they will hate you. Still, a few extra bones in the tip column saves you a shit ton on corkage over the year.

The fuck is a corkage fee is this some europoor stuff?

>>14801301
corkage fee is when you bring your own bottle of wine to a restaurant and they charge you a fee because they are "missing out on a wine sale" I have been doing this condiment loophole since around 2015, I always dress properly because if you do that in casual clothes they will think you are broke and not want your business.

>>14801347
What kind of shitty restaurants are you going to where they’re charging you for not buying anything

It depends on the restaurant.
A number of diners I go to have splendid pancakes and lousy syrup; they have no objection to me bringing in a bottle of my own maple that I cooked on the family woods.

As for the Franks/Tabasco thing... you're being a pussy, but anyplace that has Tabasco isn't going to fuss over your own personal bottle.

>>14801353
usually "finer" restaurants, and restaurants that pride themselves or build their menu around their wine lists. Corkage is not uncommon.

Why would ANYONE care if I wanted to pair a wine with their food? Especially if they don't have it on the wine list. Maybe I want to try some Premier Cru Puligny-Montrachet of a vintage a few years past with their "French Hamburger?" In what way could you possibly justify charging me for that?

All restaurants have or should have a corkage fee you dumb faggot. It includes the full wine service as well as labor for the glasses. Yes it's a preposterous markup, but bringing your own shitty wine to a restaurant is also preposterous so deal with it.

>>14804715
>the full wine service as well as labor for the glasses
You're a nigger and I'll tell you why:
I don't need my hand held to pour a fucking bottle of wine that I brought. Why did I bring it? Because I want to drink it. What does it take, an hour to wash 2 wine glasses? Fuck off with your corkage fee there's no good reason for it.

>>14804747
>there's no good reason for it.
The reason is to make money off faggots like you who bring your own food and liquor to restaurants. Kill yourself.

>>14804747
I just wanna double down on how much of a faggot you are btw. Feel like that needs to be reiterated above any other point I made in my last post. The bit about restaurants making money, the markup for washing glasses...all of those points take a back seat to the fact that you are an insufferable faggot.

>>14804819
>bring your own food and liquor to restaurants
nobody is doing that, this is bringing a bottle of wine. it's not liquor, it's not a 6 pack, it's something that has a much more personal connection and there are a lot of reasons why you would want to enjoy a particular bottle of wine while dining out.

>>14804871
Oh, so you have no argument. Pretty cute for a retard.

>>14800701
A family friend keeps a bottle of Tabasco in her purse for her husband. It’s a little weird, but only a little. I wouldn’t do it, though. I’m not that wedded to any particular condiment, even though I’ll mix and match if I bring food home.

>>14804876
Nobody's stopping you from bringing in your own bottle of wine you fucking retard lmao. But since you're wasting the restaurant's time, they're gonna charge you a corkage fee for using their glasses and wasting their server's time. Not surprising that a dumb, frugal faggot like yourself takes umbrage with with a small fee for doing faggot shit like bringing your own booze to a place that sells booze hahah

You seem to think it's only about being frugal. It's about enjoying great wine and not cooking food. Most wine lists are wines meant to be consumed young.

You've lost the thread here, which I shouldn't be surprised by considering your a dumb faggot. Corkage fee exists to mitigate cheap jews like yourself who walk into a restaurant with your own wine. Sorry you had to pay, what, 20 or 30 bucks on your own wine when you could've just ordered something there.
I'm not saying it isn't a ridiculous markup, but maybe don't complain like the most insufferable faggot in the room when you to needlessly circumvent dining out etiquette.

seriously dude, I'm loving it. What else about bars and restaurants really piss you off? please tell me

>>14805076
nothing else about bars and restaurants pisses me off. I don't agree with corkage fees, and most reasonable consumers do not either. I believe it's something that complicates what should be a natural ritual of having wine with dinner in good company. Idk maybe you watched that Somm documentary and thought people couldn't enjoy something as simple as a glass of wine without professional help at beyond professional pay rates. Even considering it might take half an hour for an entire wine service and washing 2-4 glasses (lol) that's $60 an hour at $30 corkage and I could hire another fucking young American engineer for less than that right now.

>>14805076
and I'd like to double down on the fact that you still have no legitimate argument for corkage fees or the usually excessive price placed on them

>>14800739

>>14805090
Yeah, I was right. You really should absolutely kill yourself. If you don't want to pay the corkage fee for bringing your own shit when you dine out, consider learning how to cook or order in instead. I understand you're probably jewish or just frugal by your nature, so you try to squeeze as much money out of every possible situation as possible. But believe it or not, restaurants aren't charity and need to make money. You'd think someone as cheap as yourself would understand that.

>>14805103

And you have no argument against other than le why do I have to le pay for my own bottle xDDDD

>>14805114
I advocate against being a faggot, that absolutely includes corkage. I'm glad most sensible restaurants make you seethe and actually implement some fee. I think it's because you think you're entitled to do whatever you want when you go out to eat.

Move to Pennsylvania. Their fucked up booze laws have led to an unusual ecosystem of byob places. It was almost enough to make up for the terrible PLCB.

In my experience, most restaurants don’t have corkage fees because most just outright forbid you to bring in your own beverages. They also don’t like you to bring in your own food. Condiments are an interesting exception and this thread could have been interesting if you two faggots hadn’t derailed it for your stupid pissing match.

Corkage is an artifact of the subsidies that drinkers pay to non-drinkers in restaurants. In a fair world, food would be a lot more expensive and restaurants wouldn’t get stressed out about making it back on drinks. It’s a dumb system, much like tipping, but, much like tipping, it isn’t going away.

>>14805382
I'm not a faggot, he's a faggot.

This is the first time I’ve heard about corkage but as a (((law student))) it’s really interesting to have wine potentially ruled as a condiment. If you are allowed to bring a condiment with no “corkage” and it’s possible to consider wine a condiment then what’s the issue? Nobody’s going to stop you from taking a sip of hot sauce if you really want to. Do restaurants draw the line at package volume? Are we really going to have private police/military in each restaurant group enforcing this condiment clause?

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1992-07-31-9207300856-story.html
"We often choose whether we're going to have a baked potato or rice with our meal, and we also choose whether we're going to add ketchup or mustard.

"Just as a chef feels that using spices and herbs helps to enhance the dish he's preparing, why shouldn't wine have a place with the meal for that purpose?"And like other condiments we use, wine should be used sparingly.

"We don't drown our steaks in Worcestershire sauce," he says. "We use condiments judiciously, to enhance. The same is true with wine."

>>14800701
What are you saucing here in this restaurant, anon? That might matter.
Just pull out your little leakproof condiment container discreetly, and I wouldn't announce it or show it until after your food has arrived. This wouldn't be the time or place to decline a dressing or sauce they offer but ask for it on the side or unsauced, make no big announcement like "no sauce ma'am cause I always bring my own, as yours sucks...."
If waitress comes back to your table, sees it, asks about it, you say "oh, that, it's because I am watching my salt/sugar, it's my homemade mix from something I made last night and/or I just wanted to finish it today because it was so damn good" or some random non argumentative reason which wouldn't offend their choices.
Almost all the major brands sell packets of their stuff for food service reasons, incl Tabasco. Just buy it one time, toss it in a drawer and use those instead.

My nigger, you're entering their property and consenting to their rules. Even if they're (the rules) ridiculous, the owners of property are the absolute monarchs over their property (or they should be, ethically speaking). If they ask you to eat a literal turd before you're allowed to dine at their restaurant, that is their right, the same way you have the right to discriminate who is let in your house. I could get into the nuances of implicit consent/explicit dissent but that is out of the scope of this argument and off topic for this board.
