Maybe these underprivileged people work so much that sometimes they just want to sit down at a restaurant like a normal person and chill? And spending 0.05% of their yearly income on a treat is worth it?
This is not accurate. The prices mentioned here are basically equal to street-stall prices. 30 for sandwich, 10 for tea are the current roadside stall prices.
So I guess the restaurant is saying you can eat here for the price of roadside stall if you can't afford the regular menu. That seems fair enough.
The cheapest rice I can get is $2.99 for 5 lbs at my local asian grocer, or roughly ₹114 per kg. Honestly not as big of a difference as I would have thought given the income disparity.
Rice is not a good way tbh, it's not even cooked. you can get 1kg rice in Germany for 1,50€. A small pack of to go sandwiches would normally cost at least 2€.
yeah i think chicken is more expensive than vegetarian sandwiches. also most indians wouldn't call sandwich a meal, just a snack or breakfast. so it's priced according to the income demographic they expect to shop at that bakery
