Do you notice if you go out on a weeknight to a restaurant or just driving around you see store parking lots that look like a ghost town?

People with money, business owners and others are not spending or hiring.

That's not the case in Los Angeles or Bakersfield. Stores and restaurants remain PACKED, especially on weekends.

I have indeed noticed, and I live in an affluent area to boot.

I’ve noticed more “Deals” coming in my email from restaurants. Buy one get one offers, buy a gift card and get $10.00 of your next meal etc.

Smokey-Bones BBQ sent me one “All The Meat You Can Eat”. Babyback ribs for $15.99.

Figured we won’t be dining out in the future so I took full advantage of their offer. I hurt ‘em...........bad, real bad. To the point of I’m surprised they’re still in business bad.
