    What’s up with the price of Chinese food too?

    A no frills takeout for my family of 6 with the 4 kids splitting two entrees, and it was still $100

      Everybody being mean to you, but I ate at the same Chinese joint all my life. Chicken lo mein special was 6 bucks for most of my life.

      I ordered the same special a few weeks ago and it was nearly 20 bucks.

      After covid the restaurant went downhill as far as cleanliness goes too. For a couple years you’d call in your order and grab your food from a table blocking the door. They only take cash and they trusted the public to pay and then reach into a basket to collect their change. That meant a lot to me so I ate there pretty often.

      Once they opened back up though, I went in and the floors didn’t look like they’d been mopped the whole time. I thought, “maybe people were excited to come back and that’s why it’s so dirty.”

      Nope. Still hasn’t been mopped.
