You have a cocktail, appetizer (or dessert) and meal with a tip and it gets pricey. But then you leave and think "it was OK, but nothing amazing for that amount of money". Or at least that is what I think, but maybe I'm just getting cheaper.

Totally.
Going out is for the experience, not just because I want to fill my belly. And it’s increasingly less and less pleasant. Questionable greetings, half dirty tables, 15 minutes before your drink shows up, empty glass for half your meal, poorly maintained facilities, staff that either are lovely but overworked or miserable and seemingly upset your there at all…that’ll be $180, remember 18% means you hate us all!
