I am fairly sure they are. Fast Food sales went up during the recessionary period. - JaxSean Apr 6, 10:19 8
- but they're already more. And you're telling me people don't factor in the tip to the cost of going out? - Reagen Apr 6, 10:22 7
  - I don't think so, no. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 10:25 6
    - It must occur to people on some level though. How many times do people go to a restaurant per year? -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 10:28 5
      - This article for London says 2.2 times per week, down from 2.5 (avg. price fell 0.4% as well) -- (link) - JaxSean Apr 6, 10:33
      - We eat out *a lot*. (Too much, in fact.) I would guess the average is probably 1 - 2 times per week. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 10:29 1
        
        When you think about how much you want to spend, do you think about the tip? (not necessarily a specific $ figure) -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 10:33
      - In discussing a hypothetical, anything is possible. Maybe they all show up wearing rainbow clown wigs, too. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 10:29 1
        
        Likely! -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 10:33
