I think this is mostly a US problem. While food prices have risen everywhere, restaurant prices haven't risen as dramatically as they did in the US (I haven't been to Europe lately, so maybe it's the same). Also, Uber Eat is worse than crap. It has menu prices higher than seat-in prices, cost around $10 for delivery and want me to tip on the whole order + it has its own fee. If I were to get a regular meal, it'd cost around $35. (That's $70 for two meals, or $2.100 per month; even a high tech salary can't afford that). In my opinion, something gotta give in the US pretty soon. Prices are unsustainable for most of the places I've been. Airbnb prices have also gone berserk.

> I think this is mostly a US problem. While food prices have risen everywhere, restaurant prices haven't risen as dramatically as they did in the US (I haven't been to Europe lately, so maybe it's the same). Restaurant prices in Poland had gone up dramatically, sometimes by 50% (depending by the place). First, the restaurants hiked prices after they were allowed to open again after lockdowns, and then they were hit by a combo of rising energy costs, rising wages and general inflation, and increased prices again.
