I stil see long lines at pretty much every fast food drive thru these days. However, it's much easier to get a table at peak time at many sit-down restaurants.

So yes, I do believe people are eating more at home. But they're hitting more drive-thrus and taking it home to avoid paying triple digits for a family at a sit-down restaurant.

We seldom eat sit-down these days. We did last week at Chili's, but only because we had gift cards. For all 5 of us, it would have been over $100 including tip.

When we do go for fast food, the most expensive for us is Qdoba. They're now at $60 for a family of 5 and that's without a fountain drink. Even Chick-fil-a has cleared $50 for us with drinks (screw off DTC). And you cannot cut corners either. You can order more "ala-carte" but it barely knocks anything off the total if any at all.

Stop blaming your personal failures on everyone else. Try fixing a healthy meal at home occasionally and you might stop being such a fat stupid bitch.

"Blaming your personal failures on everyone else"

You just described the base of your party.

That’s like one of those NFL hazing stories where they make the rookie pick up the check. You sure the bill was accurate and you weren’t overcharged?

He must have been conned because we know that he probably didn't put down more than a Lincoln for the tip.

Chances are excellent that he left no tip at all.

As usual you assholes are both wrong.

We tip 20% CASH plus more if earned. If we include it on the credit card receipt (the tip line), the restaurant takes out taxes. Something most people are not aware of.
