Maybe I should use these money saving principles in the rest of my life. When I go to pay my restaurant bill - Ask the owner to see the actual prices of the food, figure the actual time the chef spent in cooking my food, then negotiate what I will pay. I figure I could also save some cash on the tip. $60 dinner X .20 % = $12. The waitress spent maximum of 10 minutes on me. That's $72 per hour. What a rip off! I could have gotten that drink refill on my own. Man, restaurants screw you. They spend way too much money advertising. Their volume must be too low. Too many restaurants. Hopefully the market will correct itself and drive some of these restaurants out of business so we can have lower prices. We all know less competition equals lower prices.
