As Chris points out, restaurants are doing just fine, as I've also seen in my travels. 2 Sundays ago I found a place for breakfast that didn't have a long wait time; it was my 3rd stop.Don't know where he gets the idea that only 1%ers go to restaurants. I rarely see empty parking lots, any night of the week. If anything, it seems patronage is up. I can see someone who makes $6 an hour not dining out but somebody making $25 an hour sure will, and that's not a 1%er by any stretch. And sometimes it's almost CHEAPER to eat out. By the time you buy all the ingredients for a dish, sometimes for slightly more (and sometimes even less), you can get the meal at a restaurant. |
