Why spending a few hundred for a restaurant experience which blows your hair back is considered beneath other experiences that last the same or slightly longer will always baffle me.
Reminds me something I thought of here though. It's all about comparison. Food is one of the most common things in our lives and we have thousands of points of comparisons. So it's really easy to look at the $200 restaurant bill and remember a bill from 24 hours ago that was only $15. You can't do that with concerts and trips and big purchases as easily.
I mean I see gamers complaining about indie games with hundreds of hours of gameplay being $30 instead of $15, or that a $10 is too short and you should wait until it's on sale for $5. But then they buy some wendy's for $15 without even thinking.
It's all because you can easily compare the $30 new indie game purchase to the old $5 indie game that's on a deep discount. There's a thousand cheaper options right there on Steam at all times. But you can't get fast food for less than $15 nowadays, so wendy's seems fine.
