I have been making cinnamon sugar since I was a kid. I was really
surprised to see it for sale in the spice section of a grocery store and
for a hefty price.

Many years ago I was working in Fort Erie and we often had coffee at a
little diner.  At the time it was 45 cents for an order of toast and
there was a bowl of individual servings of jams, jellies and honey. You
could use as many as you wanted.  Cinnamon toast was 40 cents. I argued
with the owner about it. I thought it was ridiculous to charge so much
for cinnamon toast when the little bit of cinnamon sugar involved would
be so much cheaper than the jams.  He stuck to his guns.... so I add
extra jam to help him prove his point.

  sometimes it is just because more options adds more
complications and time and storage requirements.  it's
not always about the simple cost of materials it can
instead be about time and complexity for staff and that
means every time you hire someone new you have to spend
time telling them where things are and what to do.  in
the food industry staff turnover is a huge issue.

  don't you think that such considerations should be
obvious?
