    Yes, you’re right. All these words are equal. It’s a pizzaria. A caffeteria maybe. Some might call it a bistro. Or a cafe. Perhaps a coffee shop or a burger joint. Quibbling over distinctions here would be semantics.

      It’s almost like these different words to differentiate between the locations that offer varying services, you nonce.

          The fact is that it’s pretty much irrelevant what kind of establishment it is. The point is who the fuck pays for that sandwich. Your insistence on correcting them on something totally irrelevant to the point makes you a twat.

            Someone might pay for that sandwich if the primary function of the establishment is the consumption of alcohol (as it is in a pub) and not the serving of quality meals (as it is in a restaurant).

            In a pub, especially if it’s the type of place where some real serious drinking occurs, the primary function of the a method of filling a stomach and absorbing alcohol and that sandwich would probably fill the brief.

            I’m not saying it looks like a good sandwich, but it’s a practical one. A real sandwich for a real alcoholic. It’s definitely not the type of food you’d expect find in a restaurant. The type of place IS relevant, you chump.

      Well, yes. If you shop around you are able to find the same kind of food on some place using any one of those names.
