Because people are more likely to buy impulsively if they don’t see the price. I don’t go places like that because I don’t encourage manipulative bullshit.

I remember once at a diner with some friends I ordered pancakes and orange juice without looking at the menu, and was pissed when the orange juice was like $10. Now I always check.
