I've eaten out too often in my life. For a long time it was probably at least 300 times, if not 400+ in a year. Sadly in my 20s/30s it was frequently fast food. Even though I've never worked in a restaurant/bar, my countless hours of being in them and talking to employees certainly gives me some knowledge. There are restaurants that I honestly have no idea how they stay in business. The quality of food you get for the price you pay just doesn't make sense to me. Places like TGI Fridays, Applebees, etc. Sometimes some places stay in business just because people get into a habit of going there and don't seem to want to do something different (inertia).

I've been in Dave and Busters a handful of times. Never by my choice. The food is ok at best, not cheap, and the place is frequently quite loud.

I heard guys on a sports show talk about the "sportsbook/rewards" thing and they were quite confused as to how it would work.

I'm far from anti-gambling and in my 30s I often visited Vegas but the sports gambling especially has gotten out of control. For a while when I would watch a baseball game they would display odds on various bets/parlays for players in the game. I have not seen it much this season and wonder if someone associated with the team decided it was too much and had it toned down, or whether the sponsor decided it wasn't worth the money.

I'm surprised they have not started doing things like food eating contests, if you eat x in y seconds you get it half off, etc. Then other customers can wager as well.
