I say this with a deep and weary sigh, but when you go to the restaurant, you're also paying for the experience of going to said restaurant. The service and the atmosphere are part of the price. I'm not saying $10 is anywhere near the price point I would pay for this garbage, but if you're so unfamiliar with the idea that a venue can increase the price of something, or that having someone else serve you something increases its net cost, I've got bad news and it's the autism.

holy shit i thought you were talking about picrel, not a literal cereal restaurant where you pay for people to pour sugared wheat into a bowl for you. its funny how disconnected the world is, on one end you have people with 0 practical skills commuting 30 minutes to a building where they get paid 18 dollars an hour to fill in spreadsheets on a computer and then clock out to go to some novelty barcade with coworkers they hate. then on the other end you have some island tribe with a population of 50 people who chase animals to exhaustion and then eat them by a fire while doing spirit dances

I'm sure their prices aren't nearly that high, and from what I've heard about this shop, it's in the UK and the cereals they feature are imported from the US and unavailable elsewhere in the country. It also allows you to try cereals you've never had before and not take the risk of purchasing an entire box if you don't like it. Of course, your post isn't meant to be rational but instead criticizing ideas you don't like as "soy". The two soyboys that run the place are probably more wealthy and famous than you will ever be, but as long as you've got an anime imageboard to whine about them on, you're coping is manageable.

just buy the fucking box and if you don't like it, so what? just throw it out.

You pay a markup at a restaurant for the service and effort involved in preparing your meal. How much effort does pouring cereal into a bowl involve? Also most restaurants have a markup of around 3x, in this place they charge 6 bucks for a bowl, if it was 1.90 per serving then ok but this is ridiculous.

I'm starting to think that cereal is degenerate. Really. Even if you dont have the time to make a proper breakfast you could still have something normal like buttered toast or some fruit or something. Why would you eat grain flakes like some kind of livestock animal? And then when you just add all the sugar and corn syrup to it, its basically just candy for breakfast.

Seriously just have some toast or something, I don't get the appeal of cereal.
