    Kids items have been cheaper as long as I can remember. I guarantee a restaurant you’ve been to has had two identical items at different prices, or things that are cheaper and you get more of the thing. The only thing modern about this is taking a screenshot of your cart.

      And this is the innocuous form of it. Places who don’t serve children often are generally happy to make their profits off of adults and worry less about income from the odd child (especially Starbucks).

      If you want to see real tiered pricing, look at all the fast food apps. The purpose of those is to extract as much money from you as possible. Those who don’t want to deal with them pay double, and they don’t lose much business from those who refuse because they’re often willing to use the apps.
