They really pay for the service though, not the food. You can always get cheaper food at the grocery store. People go to restaurants to stuff their faces. Restaurants came to realize that.Originally posted by -Jrabbit
The point is that restaurants figured out that people would gladly pay a premium for huge portions and have cashed in accordingly. It's really just that simple.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

As a sidenote on the restaurant issue, I can feed my whole family on one serving from a takeaway Asian restaurant, if I order an extra rice bowl along with it. The rations are really generous. It's a really convenient and cost effective way to make dinner, which I use at least once a week. The whole family eats a whole meal for €10, hard to beat that even when I cook it myself.So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students

Okay, sorry for the threadromancy, but I've got another question:
A generation ago, men like my father went to work with a briefcase. This item, which you could probably see in the Smithsonian or something, was only a couple of inches thick and light enough to be carried easily by an cubicle-dwelling white-collar weenie.
Since then, of course, the digital revolution has dramatically reduced the size and weight of the data people need to carry around. Information that once took up reams of paper, weighing many pounds, now fits on a cigarette-lighter-sized thumbdrive that can dangle from a keychain. Indeed, documents don't need to be carried at all, since they can be stored on network drives or e-mailed to oneself.
So why in the name of all that is holy are office drones now commuting WITH LUGGAGE?!? I get on the Metro, and I'm surrounded by people carrying bags just about the same size as the bag my wife and I are packing -- together -- to go away this weekend. We've got 3 changes of clothing apiece packed; what the f*ck is Mort the Middle Manager bringing in to the office everyday that requires him to actually WHEEL the stuff in -- in a piece of freaking SAMSONITE?
Seriously, what the hell is going on out there?
That's all for now; I'll get back to you when I can discuss the new dollar coins without having an aneurysm."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George CarlinComment

Laptop, gym clothes, the kitchen sink, dead bodies. The usual.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Weighs 5-8 pounds, fits in a briefcase. Unless they're going bowling straight from work, I still need an answer here.Originally posted by Jon Miller

Anyone remember the short-run commercial that went something like this:Originally posted by snoopy369
Pretty soon you'll see ads touting the fuel efficiency of cars in the low 20s. Much more amusing.
Person A: Gee you look great... younger and it looks like you've lost weight. What's your secret.
Person B: Oh not much.... Just eating more chicken.
Then person B grabs a big piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken and takes a bite out of it.

You dad was probably able to do all or at least most of his work at the office. Nowaday, businesses have become more "efficient" by piling work onto their employees, which must be taken home to work on if the employees ever want to see their spouse and kids.Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly

That's why you need to vote McCain-Palin in. Bring back the old time 50's metropolis values.A generation ago, men like my father went to work with a briefcase.

Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment
