This morning, my wife had a doctor's appointment so, in case of a blood test, we didn't eat breakfast before leaving. We ate at a diner near the doctor's office (nothing special, a couple of omelets and two cups of coffee) which, after tax and tip, set us back 60 bucks. Frankly, maybe my "recent" memory of prices is a couple of decades old, but that provided quite a bit of sticker shock


We tend to eat out often but I'm more of a cinnamon roll, muffin, or chicken&biscuit type of breakfast person since I can't stand eggs, maybe OD on them as a kid.

The other day for the first time in maybe 30+ years we stopped at a Denny's for breakfast due to having a coupon. My wife enjoyed her meal. Mine was ok but I like the pancakes better at the diner down the road. Anyhow for the 2 of us in Arizona, it was $40 before a tip. We can usually do lunch for that or less in the places we frequent. So I can see how $60 can be possible. Someone is making a ton of money since food hasn't gone up that much.
