  • Better food, better service, and better atmosphere means nothing when people cannot afford to eat out.
    Yet, eating establishments cannot remain open if they are losing money.
    What's the answer? You have to give people more options on the menu. For example...Why should children be the only ones able to order from the childrens menu? Or why should senior citizens be the only ones able to order from that menu? Why not charge people for the size of plate that they want? I've refused to eat at places because they did not offer what I wanted. I want less food, therefore a lower price. Why should I pay for something that I don't want? Why can't I just order the meat and a salad? Why must they put a mountain of frenchfies, or potatoes on the plate if I don't want it?
