Ordering the kids meal for myself. Plenty of food and priced as a regular-sized meal should be! Try it.
There are restaurants that do not allow you to order a kids version for an adult. Yeah, it is that weird. Allegedly those meals are cheaper per amount of food than the adult versions in those places.
Kids meals are generally subsidized by the restaurant as a loss leader for the adult meals. That's why some places even do "kids eat free" — the additional adult meals make up for it. Which is why they don't want to sell kid meals to adults — they're losing money on it.
But there are some that do, and say “of course!”
As someone with fruit trees that are on the road side boarder of my property, I agree, it is theft and really annoying. Especially people taking the fruit when it is not quite ripe. To be honest if some one asks for some I am happy to let them take a small amont. When I see what looks like a copious amount of fruit on an overhanging tree, I ask the property owner. I have never been denied.
I used to do that sometimes. But I did on purpose, and I resent nowadays due to inflation that in order to get the old "adult meal" price I HAVE to choose a kid's meal.
