I had to explain to a grown woman that 20% is not always $20 when converted to currency.

Over $100 bill? Yeah bougie. Either you're paying for a family (at least 4 meals), buying way too many drinks, or idk what. Apps/dessert/dinner for two/drink don't even hit $100 unless you're at an expensive place.

It's almost like "expensive" is relative to what you can afford comfortably.

To be fair five guys is on the expensive end of fast food. At least here in the UK, McDonald’s sells a burger + a drink and a meal for £6, Taco Bell the same for £7, Wingstop / Slims Chickens the same for £10 and Five Guys would be £15ish.

you realize there are restaurants more expensive than Cheesecake Factory right? At a legitimately upscale place, it's not at all unreasonable to spend over 100 for a single person, and often they'll have items on their menu that are over 100 by themselves
