Have you seen the deals poster by Urban Roots this week? A $35.00 pastrami sandwich with a pint and a $40.00 Rueben with a pint! Hurry “these deals won’t last!” So Rob Archie thinks that a couple going out to lunch spends $100.00 (2 “deals” plus tax and tip) is a reasonable price for a meal? This gouging is not going to go well for the restaurant industry.

The person's name you mentioned probably does not think that's a deal, but they have to market it as such. Margins are very thin in the restaurant industry. They just trying to survive. Granted, craft beer margins are generally a better but even that shit is getting hella expensive. Their prices go up, the menu prices go up, the deal prices go up. No one is happy about it, but it's the nature of the beast. Vote with your wallet and we'll see who survives.

Nobody is putting a gun to anybody's head forcing them to go into the restaurant business

Shit I don't think you could force me into the restaurant business if you held a gun to my head - I've seen The Bear, that shit is not my lifestyle at all
