Video Description

#money #finance #costofliving Eating out just isn’t worth it anymore. In 2025, restaurants are emptier than ever — prices are higher, portions are smaller, and the food quality leaves something to be desired. Let’s dive into why dining out has gotten so bad. From Sysco’s monopoly over the food supply to pre-made frozen meals, poor service, and sky-high costs, eating out has lost the joy it once had. As a result, we’re seeing empty restaurants as more people are choosing to just stay home. NOTE Please don’t send any hate to the creators featured in this video — that’s never my intention.
