Trust us to take a great little note on the bottom of a bill, ignore it, and then rag on about what the meal cost.
Whady'all think rents are in DC these days? This is not Butte, Montana. We don't know who was there or ordered what, and besides, ten per cent of the total was tax. My wife and I will be looking at the same thing on Cape Cod later on this month, and you can bet yer sweet bippy that Trumapnzees do NOT hang out in Provincetown, Massachusetts in the summer (Rachel Maddow does, for example). But the rents on Commercial Street (almost the ONLY street) in P-town are sky high, and the places there have about 4 months to cover 95% of their year's expenses. I pay the outlandish prices and tip more than I need to, because NO ONE is getting rich off of me. No one goes to these places "to be seen," it's just what it costs to run a restaurant in certain places without going broke. If we want the same Provincetown to be there next year (and the ocean doesn't gobble it up), then we pay for these people to survive. No one running a restaurant there winters on St. Barts. Same goes for the Daily Grille or Capital Grille, or wherever this was in D.C.
What we SEE here is a great note, obviously programmed by the management, for ALL patrons to see.
THAT is all that matters. REALLY!
