Where the fuck are people going out? Dinner and drinks with my wife and kids rarely breaks 100.
Sure… but how many drinks can your kids really put away?
Where do you live? Because in LA it's extremely easy to break the $100 threshold for a single person to eat. That's literally an appetizer, a main course, and a drink or two.
I live in DTLA now. I just spent less than $15 on a burger and a blueberry cider at Glory Burgers.
I swear people have terrible financial skills.
Soooo you're comparing a burger and beer place to somewhere you'd get appetizers at.
I'm not talking about influencer type places to hang out at like Sur, I'm talking like fucking Wood Ranch, dude.
Chain restaurant, a steak, an appetizer, and 2 beers is like 75 bucks, man. For a fucking chain restaurant.
I went to the Yard House at LA Live. Spent like $55 on a burger entree, beer and tip. Yes, people aren't good with their money. Choose better.
Not in one of the most expensive places to live in the country, assuming it's the same everywhere, that's for sure!
A family of 4 getting a meal, am appetizer, and two drinks each for the adults will break $100 at a decent place. I'm sure there's much cheaper places near you as well. Not every meal needs to be 5 star.
You have no idea what you're talking about, lol.
Go look at the menu for a restaurant in LA called Wood Ranch. It's a chain restaurant. If you're not picking the most expensive thing each category, you're looking at 75 dollars plus pre tip pre tax if you get what I mentioned.
That's nowhere near 5 star dining in LA. Lmao.
It's all over the place right now.
I can get a meal for wife and girls for $150 at BJs, including a couple of drinks, but when we start straying up it gets above $200 real quick.
Fuck Doordash, I hadn't used it in a while and we briefly considered it this weekend. Priced a meal for 5, from a local Mexican place, no booze, and it was $230.
depends on the girl/guy, if they are vain, or expect the other to pay for an expensive meal.
