recently i went to an ordinary restaurant to have a decent meal. it was nothing fancy and no staff were there to treat me as a protagonist. it was just a simple walk in and order and just eat and talk to your friends kind. however the place was off a certain standard and clean and well known for its delicacy. at the end of it when the bill came it was over a 3 digit figure. i thought to myself, oh fine nice atmosphere comfortable seats great food and decent music. then as i paid the bill(heart aches as i am a poor man) i realized- is it right for someone to charge this much for food?
basically to me i believe food is a necessity and everyone is entitled to have whatever they feel like eating, be it shushi, dim sum, french cuisine or italian pasta. to charge someone so much for just a meal like that, what's up with one's conscious!
ok you might argue the difference between seating in a coffeeshop and a restaurant but at the end of the day food is just food- stop charging so much money because your food taste nicer then the normal but just use it to promote good tasting food.
i am not an altruist but i am cynical when it comes to such matters. for those who upon reading this post say what a loser, one has to pay good money to have good food then i tell u guys do not be a hypocrite the next time you complain about the steepness of the price of a meal or the extra charges that make up 20% of your total bill.
cant a person who lives in a single room flat be able to have the same meal as a person who lives in a 3 storey house? what you think we are living in the medieval times where KINGS and QUEENS exist. food should not and never be something to differentiate between people who have money or not.
