Haha yeah. The level of contempt from the losers of striverism towards those they perceive to have maed it in 2025 is through the roof. Nowhere is this misplaced bitterness more evident than in the service industry. It’s like they fucking hate you for them having to work lol.

we turned it into almost a necessity, huge chunks of the public simply can't or won't cook so they will spend whatever is asked of them, America is an evil place

it isn't about time, you have plenty of free time in the evening to cook a meal, but in terms of portions and food waste cooking for one requires either enormous discipline or a tolerance for eating the same thing all week, just up it to two portions and the math flips immediately
high grocery prices are making eating out more reasonable these days, especially at non-chain places. $15 sandwich w/ a side at a diner or deli v. $12/pound turkey etc. etc.

i feel like this is why 'food trucks' run by guatemalans in places like gas station parking lots have become more popular over time. they just quickly serve you your slop without complaint or attitude.
Eating out is too much of a hassle. My four kids make it a challenge so I just don’t do it.
One of the most tedious things about work actually is the expectation of eating all the time, too. Like they’ll have a breakfast (I don’t eat breakfast), and then they’ll have a lunch (and I usually don’t eat at that time either), and then they’ll have a dinner that goes to 1030 or 1100 and the expectation will be that you drink booze (and I don’t drink).
But restaurants themselves are all flame. I don’t know the last time I had a good meal anywhere or actually enjoyed myself at a restaurant.

much of it is likely because you have don't put enough thought into your restaurant choices. you also seem to order food from the apps, thereby ensuring you will incur a 40% markup in fees

no not that. if you just pick good restaurants the eating out experience is worth it. they can be counter serve places even. if you're in a major metro there's going to be high quality food at all levels. you just have to know where to look. also, we cook at home. a lot. we're fairly good at it. so eating out is the exception, not the rule

okay but none of that touches on the fact that shit is a lot more expensive than it was. this trend will not reverse without mass economic hardship or an AI miracle

We need to immediately ban these Jewish middlemen delivery companies that put immense upward pressure on prices. If dorks are willing to pay $30 for a shittier version of the same sandwich delivered why should they not charge $22 in the restaurant?
You’re retarded. I’ve been to Italy, Greece, and France in the past year which were all historically cheaper than the US (esp. NYC) for food if you compare similar experiences. The food in Greece has become way more expensive with a weakening dollar and the Ukraine war waging on. Italy and France remain very expensive unless you are eating takeaway food.
I’m sure food is still cheap in shit-hole-istan, but I’m a white American and would not want to ever visit there.

He is actually correct. Those aperol+snack in milan are during set times i.e. 12-4 when people are looking to eat something else.. actul dinner isn't that much cheaper. More notably Spain and Italy are actually cheaper for restaurants than east Europe now..

That's why people go to allinclusives in turkey, dubai, etc you could literally eat $200/person equivalent(if you ate at restaurnts). Then take free sun umbrellas and unlimited booze..

you have to go out in an exurb or rural area
Go out in downtown Minneapolis and you're paying obscene prices plus "health and wellness charges" so the gay servers can fuck each other in the ass more.
