3. Ghost Town For Breakfast

I went to a local restaurant for breakfast a couple of days ago. This restaurant is usually pretty busy for breakfast. There always seem to be businesses meeting and seniors who live nearby, normally make up most of the diners.

I don't go there often because its about $50 for breakfast for two. We can cut it by $10 If we don't have their shitty coffee.

This day was different

It was a ghost town.

My granddaughter who is 8 commented. "Whey are we the only ones here?"

I suspect this is becoming the norm at this restaurant and others.

We used to laugh when the cost of breakfast out rose to $30. But $50?

That's way too much.

I also note that the quality of service has dropped considerably most everywhere we go out to eat.

Even restaurant managers are becoming surly to customers.

I see a lot of these places shutting down in the months ahead as costs soar and people stop dining out.
