Traveling from the states to the UK, you folks have insanely cheap food. Like, it's nuts. I was shocked how little I had to pay for eating in restaurants. I would be mad, but really it boils down to what you said, us American's are being ripped off and we're saying thank you. Going to a restaurant now costs minimum $50 it seems, if you want an appetizer brace for at least $80 (excluding fast food, but that's come up too). Delivery my "average" went up to 80-90 for fucking 2 meals and and appetizer to be delivered. Fuck that, I'm not paying those costs.

Now our delivery services are crying asking why no one wants delivery as much as they did during covid.
