Exactly, more diversion they think they are clever but obviously plenty of people are noticing.

Foods costs are sky high and companies are desperate to find savings. At most restaurants I've been to over the last year, if the prices haven't gone up that much, the food portions are smaller and the quality has gone downhill.
I made a post about Red Lobster a few months back - it was literally the worst restaurant meal I've had in probably a decade.
I agree during the past couple of years the quality of the average dine out meal I have had is about as bad as I ever remember in my 47 years of living.
Unless I am away and cannot do otherwise I NEVER eat out anymore.
