I sometimes eat at a local restaurant called Casa Mia. My breakfast of fancy sausage, eggs and hash browns is over $20. Typically $25 and change after taxes and tip. This is pre pandemic too as I haven't eaten there in years.

I don't know about everyone else but coming from a pretty well off household we find that expensive. In fact $20+ for a breakfast is fucking nonsense IMO.

Yet any day during the university semester this place is PACKED with students sipping their coffees, eating their breakfast and loitering around typing away on their laptops.

It drives me up the fucking wall. This place is sooo overpriced and these kids have zero business eating there at this stage in life.

It makes it very hard for me to have sympathy for them.
