I will never again believe it when someone tells me the recession is hitting the well to do as much as main street.  this isn't to bellyache about rich people.  After all, look at the tip the waiter/tress got!

I seriously have to wonder about a place that charges someone $12 for water and $27 for cappachino. Granted I seriously have to wonder about someone who pays that much for either as well. Seriously, for what they paid just for water, expresso, and cappachino alone, they could of bought a machine somewhere and made all they wanted at home or had their servants make it for them at least.

And somewhere along the way, I'm sure federal stimulus money was used to pay this bill.

he is a russian billionaire of some sort. probably an oil guy

Actually, $9 - $12 for a bottle of water is not unusual for many of the better restaurants in Boston.  I'm sure it's the same in New York.  It's the $35,000 they spent on wine and/or champagne that mystifies me.

it looks like they bought 7 bottles.  for 6 people?

Ouch! Here in Alabama, we would never pay that much for a bottle of water. Whiel I am sure Boston has to be a great city, personally I would hate to live in a town where things cost that much. Granted I never understood why items cost up to 5 times as much in large cities like Boston, LA, or NYC compared to where I live. I swear you guys are getting royally screwed.

water doesn't cost that much in boston!

these are extremely high end resteraunts that virtually none of us ever see the inside of

This is the kinda guy you want to invite you over for lunch.

jeez, why can't my massage clients tip like that??

Well, most "main stream" restaurants don't charge that much.  It's mostly the high-end steakhouses and gourmet restaurants who charge outrageous prices.

paula -  does your establishment have an automatic 20% gratuity for 6 or more  :teddyr:

Whenever I receive a restaurant bill with the tip automatically added on, I make sure to say (very loudly), "Too bad they already added the tip . . . I was planning to give more."

please, i can handle up to 12 without breaking a sweat, challenge me.

You're on, paula. And I'm your first volunteer. Now all we need is eleven more volunteers.

then we can all go to confession together in the same order

i love being reduced to an object....didn't know you thought of me like that ;)

Paula, why do you keep setting yourself up with lines like this? 

Seriously, you know most of us in here are female deprived nerds (or is it just me?)  You know someone's gonna say something crazy in reply...

 :teddyr: :smile: :teddyr: :smile: :teddyr: :smile:

Try eating at many restaurants in and around the theater district and you'll pay this much for a bottle of spring water (the large, family sized bottle).  I promise.

why not just get free water?


paula- I did not mean to disrespect you in anyway sis. sorry

Well, you could.  But if you're paying $100 or more per person for dinner, you might as well really screw yourself and pay outrageous prices for water. 

Somebody else wanna make a bad joke about happy endings? Because I just don't think I have the strength right now.

I'm jealous. I wish I was rich!

Don't be flattered. We reduce ALL women to objects.

"What? Women ARE things."

it's all good, no offense taken at all.  ;)
