Recently, a receipt has gone viral after showing a Raleigh taco restaurant charged a customer a ‘carry out fee’ on top of their regular costs for the meal. This fee was 14% of the actual meal total, so it wasn’t exactly small either and represented a sizeable amount. Furthermore, when combined with the convenience fee, this came to nearly 18% of the original meal.

The restaurant in question was Bronco Tacos which is located at 3434 Edwards Mill Rd and historically, has achieved good online reviews. Nonetheless, it looks like this fee has caused backlash from Raleigh locals who aren’t best pleased. As seen in the screenshot below, the carry out fee was $5.78 which also included a separate $1.50 convenience fee.

This was first posted to Reddit which gained over 150 comments. The bulk of these lambasted the eatery for this fee and one user went as far as to say: “A carry-out fee?! And they expect you to tip their fake carry-out kitchen?! (Look it up restaurants use fake names on door dash so you don’t know where the food is from) Tipping culture and fees have gotten out of hand. I will never visit this place. It’s just tacos! Those are the cheapest things to even make especially in bulk!”

While this angered many, one user argued that these fees were put in place to help gain back lost income to companies such as DoorDash, and to always phone the location directly when taking out to save on such fees. At the same time, this clearly wasn’t a good look for Bronco Tacos.
