My wife and I were given as a gift a gift certificate for $100 at one of the most popular but expensive restaurant in town. We easily spent our $100 and had to pay a little bit more for tips and extras. The place was jammed and it was good we had a reservation because there was an hour wait to get in otherwise.
The food was fine and the service very formal and efficent. Everyone in the place appeared to be getting wine, desert and extras along with their main course. I estimate the average couple spent far more than us, maybe $150.00.
As the country goes into a recession I wonder if the people will wonder how they could have been so extravgent back in December 2007, when they are unemployed and broke in 2008.
Do you ever feel cheated after you spend good money to go out to dinner?
