First real storm of the season! strong thunderstorm with one thunder per sec. Refreshing.

We had storms last night too. It scared my dog so I spent a lot of time trying to comfort her. She eventually dove under the covers and I had wet dog nose pressed against me for awhile and then of course she would get hot and start panting. So there was a cycle of under the covers and out of the covers.

Look carefully at your bill when dining out. At FL Macaroni Grill locations a $2 " inflation fee" is now added to the bill.

I would rather have them raise the price of the items to cover it then sneaking in a fee. Just like I wish the service fee was automatically included for waitstaff, or that people would pay them a decent wage so I wouldn’t have to tip. I’m not a fan of doing math after my meal but I’m not a jerk so I will do it to leave a decent tip.

Maybe they plan on just dropping the "inflation" fee when inflation drops. 🤪🤪 Sorry, I had to stop typing for a second because I was laughing so hard at what I had just said.

Let me know how it turns out. I downloaded it for next week since I’ve already got my menus planned this weekend. 😉

That's impressive -- you plan menus. Figgy does that, too.

Guess what? I don't. :p I buy a bunch of stuff and then "wing it" with what I'll pull together for dinner. (Also, some of the "stuff" I buy also includes some frozen dinners -- for some easy nuking dinner nights!) ;) :joyfull:

Back when I owned my Residential Care Home by state law I had to publish the planned menus for the month. After that I vowed to never do that again and now my meals are determined on average about 30 minutes before I eat them. Sometimes way less than that.

At least 3 nights a week, I don't want regular dinner food. I'm kinda fickle. Sometimes, I want a bowl of cereal instead, or even ice cream. :joyfull:

I honestly don't know what I did before I was gifted a George Foreman Grill. I can take out a solid frozen hamburg, steak, chicken breast or pork chop and be eating it in 7 minutes. It's a miracle I tell ya!

I am bad at planning them then changing at the last minute.

Part of the problem (for me) in terms of planning meals (I might "try" for a few to plan, sometimes) -- is that when I get to the grocery store, they don't always have what I need. (Stocking the shelves isn't as bad as a few years ago, but distribution of some items, can still be hit or miss.) So I've kinda given up on planning any sort of menus, and just go with I see in the store in any given week, instead.

Theme parks doing the same thing. Raising prices but not actually outright calling it inflation fee. Macaroni Grill should have just done what a number of places are doing - raise the price instead of added inflation fee to the customer bill. . But if the food portions are less that would not be something I would accept.

Reminds me of cruise lines.. instead of paying better and raise prices a bit.. they are now forcing mandatory higher "tips" for employees.

I understand how grocery stores are. I had issues earlier in the month for finding a couple things.
