[BH] Sims pay for one food serving instead of full price

I do not know if this is a bug or an intended feature, but if it is the latter it renders all food-focused businesses in the newest pack completely unviable. 

In attempting to create a bakery today I constantly lost money as the price of producing any baked goods was higher than I could possibly sell them for, even at the highest markup. The issue seems to be that when purchasing from the refrigerated displays the sims purchase all servings of a food item, but only pay the price for one serving. I tested this with several different dishes, from baked goods to BLTs, and found that it was always the same: The sims would purchase all 8 servings at once and pay only for one. I then tested it with the new Candy that was added by the pack, and it had the same issue: I paid 49 simoleons to make a party serving of candy and that whole party serving sold all at once for a fraction of that, despite being excellent quality. 

 I then tested selling those same items on the Home Chef Hustle table, and they worked appropriately: The price of the goods was the same, but sims only took one serving when they paid for only one serving. I imagine this is how the new pack was meant to behave as well, but it is simply not the case.

    That is, quite literally, how the currently  broken Brazen Lotus grab servings mod works. It makes the Sim take servings over and over and over all at once, lowering the cauldron's hidden count of how many servings are left. His mod does the exact same thing.

    Myself and another modder have fixed it for ourselves but as it's not our mod, it is not available. It also doesn't work exactly right for a few things like the food stick form of servings like candy.

    Cool! Might the problem be the display cases and not the interaction itself? I've noticed customer sims can take and buy servings from a regular fridge, just not from the display cases.

    Related to pizzas and business and hobbies (and i guess get to work): some of the pizzas don't fit in the food display cases. the original pizzas from home chef hustle work, but any pizzas you can order over the phone doesn't (not the actual pizzas you order over the home, you can make a pepperoni or cheese pizza in the pizza oven and it doesn't work. I think those pizzas are the same type of object as the delivered pizza with the same properties, while those hch original pizzas are new objects that can be placed in the smaller item slots in the display case). You can place those pizzas on the larger displays, like the table ones from get to work, but they aren't refrigerated and don't last as long. I also tried using the get to work retail freezer and warming rack and they don't work on the home retail lot. You can only store items in them but no one buys from them (there's no red price tag popup). And the food items placed in them are kind of buggy, if you remove them and mouse over them the cursor changes to one with a white price tag (which I assume is from the gtw retail lots, but its been so long since I used them.) and you cant bring up the pie menu with them. you can still click and drag them and if you place them in a normal home refrigerator it resets them.

    Fixed an issue where Group Meals were being listed for sale at the same price as Single Meals. The price for selling food on Retail Displays will now reflect the number of servings.

    Fixed in Patch 1.113.297/2.11
