I can buy a weeks worth of groceries at Aldi's for what it would cost to drive downtown (gas), parking cost and pay for the meal (good resturant) and tip the server.

It is sad that soon there will be resturants forced to close because of cost of gas and taxes.

As much as we do for other countries this is how we are repaid. If we aren't careful we are gonna be one of those countries that are gonna need the help. These gas prices are ridiculous. Our government is just lost.

paying an extra percent for RCA dome

paying 15% for tip, cause restaurants don't want to pay their staff

only downtown restaurants benefit from stadium crowd, hope they can make their money back the few home football games are downtown

Gas prices is not the only thing that is hurting people. How about property taxs? How about our goverment lowering interest rates where people are losing money on CD investments? These kind of restaurants. McDonalds will find an increase in people eating there. You can read more at:
