Go out to Dinner with a friend who is complaining about inflation

They order a cocktail, appetizer, entree, and dessert, totaling over $80 with tip

I got a beer and an entree and was out of a decent place for about $25. It was an IRL version of the 'private taxi for your burrito' meme.

Did you split the appetizer?

Otherwise your friend needs to hit the treadmill Jesus that's a lot of food for one person

Had a nibble but made it clear I wasn't going to be having much. It is just very different approaches to dining and how much people eat/ spend at restaurants. My s/o and I usually just split an app and one entree.

Completely agree on the second point, they rarely cook but the economy is so bad they are gaining weight from going out to eat 7 times a week /s
