So when do people stop going out to eat?

[fan4ever]

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.

I never realized this problem until like 10 years ago when I lived outside DC in Ashburn, Loudoun County and a restaurant owner told me about this issue.

Loudoun County is the #1 highest per capita income in the US for the last 10-15 years

My 2nd office is in Ashburn.

I just read an article this morning about a property tax incentive that created affordable living within a trendy upscale neighborhood in a major metro.

One of the anecdotal metrics quoted was along the lines of "this neighborhood needed baristas".

Jesus H. Christ, I'll shit directly into your mouth once a day for $1000 a month. You'll eat better AND save $1400 a month.

He's devolving.

His football trolling has gotten so bad, it's not even worth giggling at anymore. It's just cringy.

This stuff will eventually get old and tired, too.

It takes years of dedicated to get a group of people to believe you're this ****ing stupid.

If most people trolled in this fashion, they would be called out for trying too hard, or just laughed at.... here though, people actually consider these posts to be true.

[AdolfOliverBush]

Trolling or not, my offer stands. My shit, his mouth, $1000 a month.

Those poor people need to be able to serve us. If they all move away, who will bring me my car or make my morning coffee? There are "Nantuckets" all over the country.

A couple rows of trees as visual barriers and two rows of tiny homes can be hidden away in a lot of communities while being touted as some kind of humanitarian aid or good deed project. I can't tell if some of the ideas being pushed forward are hilarious or sad.

So, when we have all the kids here (family of 5)... we don't get out of a grocery store without spending $250 and we'll make 2-3 trips a month, so it adds up quick and then you have the eating out.
