I just read about the restaurant Masa in the city and it's $1300 for two for dinner or lunch.

I'm done. Shit is just out of control when people are spending $1300 on dinner. That's my rent for the month in one meal. And you know you want desert or the added beef dish so in the end it could be $1770. My head is going to explode.

Rich people spend money.... not much different than getting a private jet over flying coach or even first class. Why is spending extra on dinner - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 1, 17:11 9
- $1300 for two people to eat is obscene. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 17:13 8
  - It is. But super rich people do tons of obscene things, so why is this different. No different then dropping thousands at a strip club. Those stories - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 1, 17:15 4
    - Just curious why this got people all wild as opposed to countless other daily stories of obscene spending. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 1, 17:17 1
      - Probably because people pay for food every day and have difficulty seeing that price as anything *but* extravagant. - TWuG Feb 1, 17:20
    - right, and they're wasteful assholes then too -- nm* - mr. plow Feb 1, 17:17 1
      - Nothing like conspicuous consumption to drive class warfare. -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 17:18
  - Exactly. -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 17:13
  - but what if i really want it? -- nm - Beaker Feb 1, 17:13
  - Word. -- nm - Loyola Feb 1, 17:13
start lining them up against the wall - mr. plow Feb 1, 17:10
OTOH, I'm starting to come around to be pro-rich people spending their money foolishly - Reagen Feb 1, 17:09
food only? -- nm - mafic Feb 1, 17:08 2
- Tax and service included. No more tipping so the price went up from $1,169. -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 17:10 1
  - People regularly spend $275 or more on drinks as well. But when the dinner is $1,300 you don't really worry about the drinks. -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 17:16
