Answer 1

Why do people buy smokes but go for less Mg's of Tar. Isn't that the product you want and are paying for????

Answer 2

keeps out the tattooed drunks and other people about like that.

It's nice to be around people who know how to act sometimes.

Answer 3

I worked in a restaurant like what you're describing.

It was called "Andiamo" which means" let's go" in Italian.

It was very overpriced. A typical meal without wine was $90.

The owners were very arrogant, it was small, the food was fresh , but it was mostly atmosphere, in a very touristy area.

The snob factor was very high.

Answer 4

Because they are trying to starve you silly!

They just want you to become amateated and teach you how to survive off of cotton balls and water

Answer 5

Its all about quality, not quantity. the food produce will be of better standards and cooked better than in some cheap place.

Answer 6

Because some people view foods as a luxury, instead of something that is needed.

Answer 7

How else will you make a profit otherwise?

Answer 8

So that one is not overwhelmed with the smell of rotting peasants.

Answer 9

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 14

Posh restaurants  sell

a)fresh food

b)good ambience and is often air-conditioned

c) serve exclusively  made food just like a dress sold in a   Boutique

d) food is well garnished with sauces drizzled  on the plate like a Chef wants

IT  is   ALL  one whole Package.

Food is only part of the overall experience!

So Hence to make a  huge  marginal profit  posh restaurants

serve expensive food in small amount .

How else can they make profit ???

People having money in excess eat in such posh restaurants.

Don't  you WORRY !!!!

Have Sweat Dreams .Goodluck !!! Bye !!!

Answer 15

Food has become artistic.

Like instead of appreciating a painting, people are given mini artistic creations that they are allowed to eat! And they taste very good too!

The food is expensive, yes, but it is quality not quantity.  I do agree though that it is often overpriced!

Answer 16

Because their diners have more money than sense.

Answer 17

hahahahahaha

PMSL

How scungy!!

I really cant say anything but what a scabby restraunt!!

And me?

Ill just keep eating my dinner at the local pub!! lol

Answer 18

Nah, I don't get it either.  Perhaps it takes years of hard graft and dedication to learn how to drizzle sauces on the plate like that.

Personally I'd rather eat pie and mash down the cafe for less than a fiver.

Answer 19

posh restaurants are selling exclusivenes & ambiance as a package: the is food is only part of the overall experience!

Answer 20

A fool and his money are soon parted, and so on.
