These people writing these stories are probably ultra rich, and go to fine dining resteraunts. They probably pay $300 a meal for what you or I might pay $11 at the grocery store.
Then they think if THEY paid $300, then surely the non-privilaged must be paying $600. And they're doing it several times a week! Such splurge!
Meanwhile we could buy these things every day for a month for what they pay for 1 meal. And the quality realistically can't be all that much different. They probably assume they're eating a chicken thats twice as good, at half the cost.
But they don't know who we are! Say that name! Say it loud!!!
LEEEEEEEROOOOOYYYYYY
JEEEEEEEEENNNKKKKIIIIINNNNNSSSS!!!!!!
Least we got chicken....
