but can you seriously count that as a restaurant?

I think we’ve figured out the issue. You people don’t know what a restaurant is.

There are cheaper restaurants than the one you mention.

If you choose not to acknowledge them, that’s on you. But claiming that you can’t eat out for significantly lower than the prices you people mention is objectively wrong.

I answered your question honestly and in good faith.

If you want more details, you can do your own research and find out the exact percentages. I’m not going to do it for you.

Come back and let us know what you find since it matters to you so much.

Way below what you can get from welfare in the US.

It’s not all-or-nothing. Most people don’t even attempt to eat cheaply because they believe it’s beneath them.

Again, you’re wrong.

What cities are you talking about? I’ll show you restaurants that are cheaper than what you say.

Also, tipping is a scam and every time you do it you keep it going on for longer.

So… I should go through all of that trouble because you don’t like hearing lawnmowers?

I’m curious what planet you are from where you think anyone would do that.

Man, it’s telling how many of you believe things because you never tried them yourselves.

Get out into the real world. Get some experience.

I can’t say I’ve ever been to classes that have that issue or have heard anyone with a similar complaint.

If it’s really that much of a problem for your specific school, class, or just you (for some reason), then it can easily be remedied with a power strip, or several if that’s really how bad it is.

I’m reluctant to take your word at face value, though. Lots of hyperbole going on on these forums.

Where are you talking about that this is the case?

We can do internet searches to see if you’re correct.

Do you make all your own food, clothes and shelter yourself with foraged materials from the land you live on?

Lol, the mental gymnastics you people resort to in order to justify being taken for a ride.

Let me just say this: the profit margins from my spending habits are significantly lower than the profit margins from yours.

What makes you think that?

Ok well, the point was that you can eat at a restaurant as a family for under $100.

You don’t have to be curious. Just about everywhere there is civilization, you can eat at a restaurant for under THIRTY-FOUR FUCKING DOLLARS. The fact this needs to be spelled out to you should be a wake up call to anyone who isn’t living in your privileged bubble.

A better question would be, where are you living where you can’t find a meal for under that price? I’d love to know so we can do some internet searching and see if you’re telling the truth.

Or maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about.

It would explain this reaction, and why you’re no longer confident when pressed to give details.

So it’s hyperbole.

You’re literally ignoring the restaurants that don’t help you support your argument.

Shit is insanely overpriced, especially in the entitled and privileged area that you live. You don’t need to lie about costs.

Have you tried this?

Where I live, native species is brush that will eventually cover my entire house.

They’re charging you the most you’re willing to pay while giving you the least you’re willing to accept.

You’re not “just” paying for convenience, your paying for the luxurious lifestyles of those maximizing profit and defending them in the process.

I used to think useful idiots were the exception.
