Man, the rationales some people have for why they let some people rip them off but not others is mind-boggling.
Really reinforces my opinion of the average person.
Are you in fucking Belize? Do you have a family of at least 8? Are you horrible with money?
Or maybe this is just hyperbole.
It’s about $75, plus tip for two people to eat anywhere that’s not “fast casual” where I am- California Bay Area. A “nice” restaurant it would be considerably more.
So it's hyperbole.
You're literally ignoring the restaurants that don't help you support your argument.
Shit is insanely overpriced, especially in the entitled and privileged area that you live. You don't need to lie about costs.
I live in iowa and its the same here. Sit down mexican restaurant is at least 75 bucks after tipping (for two peope). I'm actually shocked that the price is so close in cali, i would expect it to be higher than here.
There are cheaper restaurants than the one you mention.
If you choose not to acknowledge them, that's on you. But claiming that you can't eat out for significantly lower than the prices you people mention is objectively wrong.
I'm not really sure what your point is, but we are a blended family, so yeah, there's a lot of us.
Sure, I could get $5 Biggie Bags at Wendy's for everyone for under $100, but if we're going out it's because we WANT to, not because we need to shovel the cheapest food we can find into our mouths. We got Chinese on Friday. After tip it was a little over $100, and we didn't even have all the kids with us. Which is why we only go out once or twice a month. The rest of the time, were cooking at home, or in case of emergencies, order $40 worth of pizza.
Ok well, the point was that you can eat at a restaurant as a family for under $100.
