We are literally in a Plague and all personal actions like going out to eat need to be individually evaluated with the risks involved considered. The restaurants have less customers so they are forced to jack up their prices. And a waitress is not going to brag about a "special" when it is not really "specially" a good deal. Their manager probably tells them to NOT mention the cost unless ASKED.
I personally am prepared to wait 1 or 2 YEARS to go out to a restaurant. I will wait for medical science to lower the risks of ANY indoor activity with groups of people. We are far from that. Some individuals will be willing to take those risks, which are increasing and not yet quantifiable. I also would NOT be buying any stock in restaurant chains. Good luck to you. And when you go to your restaurant, may you go with God.

It is impressive that you have the belief that you will be around in 1 to 2 years to enjoy eating in a restaurant and also have the belief that if you stay locked in your house you will not be subject to some other disease that will claim your life. It is also interesting that you must not feel that you will be missing out on any joys that you might have experienced if you stuck your head outside and celebrated life during that time instead of fear.
