Honestly, I'm white as can be and make decent money and have 100% stopped ordering sodas at restaurants and have begun ordering less booze.

Restaurants rape you on that shite. $2.75 for a fountain Coke? $6 for a pint of beer?


This. For the restaurant folks claiming paper thin margins, I just don’t fricking buy it. Unless your ownership is incompetent, considering prices of bills I’ve had to pay lately, I don’t see how the house shouldn’t make at the absolute very least 25% profit on a table.

High Mark ups: Soda, Alcohol, desserts

Terrible margins: Entrees

Restaurant profits are no where near what you think.

Then you should look into details of the business more before openly displaying your ignorance.
