If you ask to remove bacon from your burger shouldn't it be cheaper?

[Violent Rainbow]

I bought a burger yesterday that comes with bacon, I hate bacon so I asked them to remove it but the burger was the same price. Doesn't it just make sense that it should be cheaper? Especially considering bacon is probably the most expensive ingredient? Or am I just crazy for thinking I shouldn't have to pay the same price for less food?

Price should go up at least 20%.

They're gonna charge me to not eat their nasty bacon?!

Be careful, they could charge you extra for it now being the less-calorie variant.

Extra labour.

Your rationale makes sense on a purely economical point of view, but unfortunately for you, meals are prepared as a set, not by the product.

Back on my teenage years when I worked on one I have seen people ask for the meat itself only, out of the whole burger. Yep, same price.

Well yes I am a lizard person but I just can't do bacon, it's so nasty I don't mind bacon flavoured things but actual bacon? Hell no.

McDonald's sell a Meatless Big Mac. By this, I don't mean a meat-substitute version. I mean a Big Mac that just doesn't have the meat patties. It's the buns, lettuce, sauce, pickles, etc.

It's only 50 cents cheaper where I am.

My thoughts exactly. Even if the OP has a point, this by far the worst thing I’ve heard all day.

The problem is that this doesn’t hold true for most things. I often complain my jeans cost the same as someone twice as wide. It’s possibly twice as much fabric but it doesn’t matter.

Oh man, that sucks.Yeah, if you purchase something that comes with bacon, you don't get a discount for the bacon - or lettuce.

What worked here is to say it before they do the burger. At least i think so - it´s been a while. I mean that they do it without bacon and without extra charge worked 100%, but i´m unsure if they were reduced in price.

I pay the same for my big mac when i tell them to hold the sauce the lettuce and the onions and the pickles and cheese.

You’re paying for the cook’s emotional damage.

On a more serious note: restaurants are probably set up in a way that prices either stay where they’re at, or they go up. While you’re right that it should technically cost less by excluding the bacon, remember that it would also mean that the business makes less money by extension. And why would a business want to do that?

The only time when they grant discounts are with coupons or special deals, and the reason they do that is in order to coerce you into coming and buying something from them. In that instance, it’s better to make slightly less money than no money at all. In the case where you’re asking about the burger costing less due to less resources being used, consider that: A) most people probably don’t even give the idea a consideration, and B) are you really going to stand up and walk out of the restaurant simply because you didn’t get 80 cents off or something?

In short, the reason why you don’t get a discount is because there is no need for them to give you one.

Check the receipt and confirm if there was a price change due to omitting the bacon and/or a service charge for removing the autobacon.

Pretty sure if it's not an option when you buy these on the menu they can reserve their right to charge you the same price.

It's interesting that they charge you more if you want extra ingrediants though, if I wanted EXTRA bacon and not NO bacon they would have charged more a lot more so it's just stupid that this didn't discount my burger, friggen every burger they sell has bacon on it it should be option they should ask "do you want bacon on that?" like they do with cheese!
