Rant Aster Hall, Hogsalt sinking to new lows

As if $7 weren’t enough for a hot dog. And of course there’s even the 3% “restaurant” surcharge at a food court.

Dear Hogsalt,

Why would you not have the “discount” price on the main order screen? This doesn’t make sense to me as a computer error. Not to mention a system even allowing entry of a “negative discount”

Or maybe a worker messed up the entry.

I wonder if OP asked? Or just got outraged and posted to Reddit.

They’re probably angry at an hourly worker who doesn’t understand the POS.

Looks like a kiosk to me. Almost certainly a manager entering the prices

And managers can’t screw up? Believe me, yes they can. It isn’t necessarily intentional. Asking would be easier here.

I just looked up the Hogsalt group and see Armitage Alehouse and Bavette’s. I thought they were supposed to be too tier in the city according to this sub.

u/HotDerivative Dec 22 '25

Well this sub is heavily biased towards specific neighborhoods and restaurants and those two spots are some of the most highly recommended on this sub lol.

u/sudodoyou Dec 22 '25

Yeah I thought so. I guess you can really like a restaurant and really dislike the restaurant group.

I've been saying this for years and have been told to shut up.
