RE: The Rare Occasion Of Eating Out

in Eating Out16 days ago

The only place we go out to eat that is usually under $100 USD for my wife and I and our eleven year old daughter is a sushi place. Normally we spend between $150 and $200 for the three of us, with some instances us going out to nice restaurants where it could reach up to $350 USD.

Sort:  

Those are crazy numbers and I could not justify eating out even if I was very wealthy. Restaurants are making 500% profit at those types of prices and it is utter madness. A rule of thumb used to be a 200% mark up.

You have to remember that minimum wage in Washington state is $16.66 and in Seattle it is $20 an hour... So restaurants are quite pricy here...

That minimum wage is madness and no wonder prices are so expensive. Our minimum wage is around $1.30 and that is considered expensive for no skills and uneducated labor.
