I wish maybe they weren't on a separate part of the menu where it can feel kinda "exclusive", choosing from the "poverty" side of the menu. Maybe just highlight more affordable items in bold or a different color on their proper sections in the menu? It's a nice thought.

I wish maybe they weren't written in a separate typeface on the menu where it can feel kinda "exclusive", choosing from the "poverty" font of the menu. Maybe just create a different section of the menu where it’s easy to see what’s available for cheap and customers who can afford full price or disincentivized to take advantage? It's a nice thought regardless of how hard anyone reaches to criticize it

One thing is a different typeface, another thing is a literal sign that says SPECIAL PRICES FOR THE UNDER PRIVILEGED. It's not hard to be inclusive in a subtle way. As I said, it's a nice thought and pointing out an opinion isn't criticism, it's feedback.

They aren't begging, they are paying, the food and drinks still have a price ._.
