It's a moot point regarding cafes in museums etc. Judy and I tend to try them but unfortunately find they are usually overpriced for what they are offering - and that is not just in the UK. A lesson I learned very early in my business life was that 30% of nothing is nothing whereas 10% of a pound is 10p or originally two shillings. I sounds very basic but if you price yourself too high the 0% becomes the norm. I always tried when running Whitby tonot take advantage of people with kids and to try and price things fairly, I think it worked but others would no doubt disagree.
