News So when do people stop going out to eat? - Page 7

**fan4ever** · 02-21-2023, 05:51 PM

I have a customer who owns 5 Mexican Food Cafes here in the Phoenix area. The past few years we've reprinted their menus 6 times...always to accommodate higher prices. Their typical cost now is about $18.00 per entree...Mexican food.

On a personal note I stopped by a McDonald's today and paid $4.96 for a large order of fries. There's got to be a breaking point for most folks.

Prices too high at the restaurant? You're still getting ****ed at the grocery store.

You either don't eat, or you start going out in the wild and hunting/scavenging for food yourself.

People gonna eat.

Granted there is a point where they say enough

USDA documented this week sales and demand for organics has dropped as prices have risen

Beef herd is in a major contraction that will reduce supply of beef but Americans have always enjoyed protein supply that is majorly Beef, pork and chicken. As prices rise for one people change to lower cost options

Restaurants face a rough time as they have to jack prices. But people have always tended to change buying habits in order to allow for other things

Tighten your belts if you are a renter with car payments and not much cash. Inflation is brutal on fixed income/elderly and mid to low income folks....only gonna get worse

$5 is a high tip for a haircut.

Not really.

I knew things were ****ed when IHOP was charging $15 for most of their entrees. Eating out is pretty much a crime now.

Getting a steer delivered in two weeks, can't wait to find out how much that will set me back.

what a response to being called out as a cheap tipper.

Folks don't need to be tipped for doing their job.

If this keeps up, everyone should have a tip job at their place of employment.

Whatever makes you feel better man.

I was eating out 5-7 days a week for 10 years while living in NoVa. I'm now down to 3-5 times a MONTH.

Not only have prices gone out of control, the food is shittier and the service is abysmal.

Unless you have your guaranteed places that are well worth it, going out is a worthless endeavour at this time.

You are officially a cheapskate. Any person providing you a service from cutting your hair to delivering your food, if they did good work, deserve a good tip.

You don’t want to do that, fine and dandy, don’t use their services.
