[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, and I don’t mean this to be harsh? No, I don’t even notice. Our food budget has gone up but we are nowhere near close enough to the bone for me to pay attention or worry about it.

In fact, food has always cost “more” for me because I tip a lot.

I don’t even notice what dinner costs. I just do the tip arithmetic and sign.

Again, not trying to be harsh, just in the spirit of anonymous dcum honesty. [/quote]

PP and part of my perspective is that I used to work in restaurants, so I actually think that eating out should be MORE expensive. I think prices went up partly because covid changed the labor market. But I still consider most food workers to be undercompensated. I think we have all benefited from actually really cheap food mostly because of exploitative labor practices. That’s why I tip a lot and I’m happy to eat at an expensive place if it seems like the staff are treated well. [/quote]
