Eating out - am I expecting too much?

Restaurant prices are bad for sure. But I spent over $12 getting a pound of crappy hamburger meat and a dozen eggs at the store.

What is hamburger meat currently? We eat ground venison at home. It’s been years since buying any at the store.
Wow! Just looked. Almost $7 a lb for 80/20 ground beef at wallyworld.
Chuck roast is $5.50 a lb. Seems like a home grinder and some chuck would be the way to go.

All I can say (as far as the prices are concerned) is thank ( or insert another word of choice here) you Joe Biden.

Beef is basically unaffordable for average families. A tiny thin steak is 16 dollars at dollar general fresh market. It's incredible. A pound of stew meat is 12 dollars.

The sad thing is that not only are prices a lot higher in the restaurants but there is little effort by some3 of the help in keeping things clean. A few months ago we went to Boomrang and the server spilled coffee on the floor and the wife told the gal about the spillage and she aid she'd take care of it but when we left it was still on the floor. They want their tip but they put out very little effort sometimes.
