"Millions of Americans Stopped Eating Out -

 Now Restaurants Are Shutting Down"

"Millions of Americans are starting to rethink eating out as restaurant prices continue to rise while portions, quality, and overall value don't always keep up. In this reaction and commentary video, we look at social-media clips showing what customers are experiencing from a $73 grocery receipt and a working woman relying on a food bank, to restaurant bills filled with unexpected charges for ice, napkins, patio seating, live music, and kitchen fees. We also look at restaurant closures, changing customer habits, expensive meals that disappoint, $18 burgers, $13 salads, and the growing argument that cooking at home can make more financial sense than eating out. These individual experiences do not represent every American or every restaurant. Prices, service, food quality, and customer experiences can vary significantly by location and business. Would you still eat out if your favorite restaurant became this expensive? Or have you started cooking at home instead?"
