Do you think that workers in restaurants that are open 16 hours a day seven days a week are working 112 hours a week? It's called shifts.

Some people work Sunday through Thursday, others Monday through Friday and so on.

The problem these days, which I don't understand, is finding enough people to work. There are currently 312,000 people on unemployment benefits in the state of Florida. I guess none of them want to work.

I keep hearing that people are leaving their jobs voluntarily. I keep wondering how they survive.

Always love rumors.

One would think that a full service restaurant in the south would have a more positive response. And "pricey" is becoming the norm everywhere. Anyhow, fish & chips with a glass of Kendall Jackson chardonnay will be my meal soon.

Their prices are ridiculous. $18 for fish and chips. $19 for a cheeseburger.

Brick and Barrel in Leesburg has fish and chips for $14 and a cheeseburger for $11.

Supply and demand is one thing. Being taken advantage of is quite different.

McGrady’s earns a big old nope from me.

Brick and Barrel in Leesburg -----$14
McGrady's---------------------------------- $18

About a gallon of gas round trip----$4.74

So which is cheaper??????

[Kenswing]

I’m sure a stand-alone building like that cost a few million dollars to put together. They’re not going to recoup their investment by selling $1.00 tea and sodas. They’ll need to sell a LOT of alcohol.

Nine miles to B&B, seven miles to McG's, four mile difference round trip, about $1 difference in gas. Order more than just a burger, like maybe a beer and a salad or appetizer, and the savings will be much more than $1.

On the other hand, I'll have to give McG's a try once the newness wears off. Some of the food looks interesting and hopefully they add a British/Irish/Scottish draft beyond just Guinness. I would gladly pay more than $1 extra for the variety.

If the Demand agrees with you, the price will change.

Isn't the happy hour half price for Domestic beers (and wine) only?

Facebook is almost as reliable as ToTV.

I doubt they will sell much alcohol. Most of us Villagers are teetotalers!

I guess that depends if you live North or South of 44. For anyone north of 44, Brick and Barrell is 2 miles further than McGrady's. McGrady's is convenient for those living nearby though and for many the price will be worth it.

Yes, but depends on the definition of domestic. Guinness is the only draft on the menu that is not brewed in the US. Ultra and Yuengling are certainly domestic. The rest of the draft list is imported from places like Gainesville, Tampa, Atlanta, and Boston.
