We went to a restaurant,if you use your cc,there will be a $3 charge.
They have a special -choose any 3 dishes from this list,total cost is $40.

Re: Doggie bag
going to restaurant is always a treat,may be you just dont hang around with the right people.
I did not realise the restaurant business margin is so low 3-4%?
I can see menu price minus cost of material = MARGIN is 70% in many cases,so it must be the overhead-labor and rent/utilities.
rent in popular places have gone up a lot. |
Re: Doggie bag
Morning chuckles phaz :lol: - restaurant margin has always been tight...the use of cc and fee's charge by cc companies make it worse.
Funny thing is that they make more on the sale of drinks actually ...in most circumstances |

| Unless it's a terminal illness, seems kinda reckless to go out buying wine at sit down restaurants when the family's finances are already strained by medical expenses. :bird: |

Re: Doggie bag
Folks enjoy a glass of wine to go with their meals.
People get tired of eating home cook meal and like to be pampered in a restaurant.
Women love to eat out in restaurant so they dont have to COOK !
Wine constains alcohol,so alcoholics welcome wine when hard liquor is not available.
Joan Kennedy became an alcoholic,when they locked her up iin a house with no alcohol,she managed to find bottle of nail polish remover and drank it/ |

Re: Doggie bag
So the sick man was an alcoholic at the time of his illness?
For their children's sake, I hope he bought some life insurance. |

Re: Doggie bag
No,he is not an alcoholic.
Alcoholic prefers hard liquor ,wine is too tame but better than nothing. |

Re: Doggie bag
Hah, I guess that's true. I've met people who let beer drinking get out of hand though. |
