  They're not, "millennials eat out a lot" has become the new avocado toast. Like yeah when student loans, mortgage/rent, car payment, and bills are 6-8k out the door monthly it turns out a $40 night out stops moving the needle. If you eat out fri/sat every week that'll be 5% of your mandatory expenses. No one should be surprised folks don't give a shit. I use the Chipotle burrito index to help folks understand the non-cost of eating out. My student loans are 120 burritos, my rent was 261 burritos. Getting a sub-pump installed is 952 burritos. Three cheers for prices of things rising non-uniformly.
