[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cost of eating out these days is really depressing me[/quote]

The cost plus the miserable experience of it has really ruined it for me. The restaurants are all short staffed so everyone is harried and stressed. You wait forever for a table, forever for food, the server is stressed out and anxious, and whatever you ask for is seen as a nuisance, even if you’re the most easy going customer ever, and they act like the fact they gave you food at all was a gift or something. Paying $120 to have that experience at a freaking Texas Roadhouse will put anyone off dining out.

When Covid hit and restaurants were struggling everyone really understood. We excused sloppy take out while they pivoted; we excused short staff and bad dining experiences while they bounced back. But neither have improved while food quality has tanked and prices have tripled. There’s a point it is simply neither cost effective nor a stress reliever (I’m too busy to cook, let’s go out) nor an enjoyable experience any longer and we’re there I think. [/quote]
