I just paid $80 at a Chili’s for dinner with my partner. That makes me sad.

I’ll preface this with, we’d not been out to dinner since my birthday (beginning of July, it is now Dec. 3 as of this post. We went to Chili’s bc it’s that quintessential easy American restaurant where nothing is complicated or fancy, just a big soda and some deep fried pickles, ya know, easy? We both got sodas (those were free if you sign up for their email flyers. Annoying, I know.) (and we don’t drink). Got their trio app thing (comes with three little versions of their different appetizers), then I got southwest chicken salad, and he got their Classic Ribeye (~8oz). And the total for the bill, with tip was $80. ……….$80 American, US, dollars. For some fried pickles, lettuce with a sad piece of chicken on it, and a slice of beef that you’d expect to get at a Chili’s…for $80. All I wanted to do here…

All I wanted to do here was rant…so…rant over.
