Am I the only person who can’t move on and accept the new prices on everything? Just a couple of years ago, it cost between $15 and $20 to get lunch around here. Now it’s $30-35.

A shawarma place opened this weekend. I’ve been pining for a shawarma place for years. And I’m glad it’s here but a plate of chicken shawarma with a juice and a tip cost me $36 today. It’s an OK shawarma but why am I the only person who thinks it’s crazy to pay this much for lunch?

Again, not being ungrateful for the existence of shawarma. God knows, I’m a loyal fan. But it’s like this at every place.

    This is why we go out to eat about twice a year. Not even at swank restaurants, just the taco shop usually.

    you are not the only person. I am shocked whenever I eat out. Also but less so at the grocery store.
