I would never pay for $10 for a hamburger and shake.

The burger and shake was good but not that good.

2. That doesn't seem too bad to me, although
I'm looking forward to trying a Kobe beef burger. It's $18 for the burger alone.

5. I wonder how Kobe beef taste.
I have seen a 18 pound hamburger, all of us here in the Lounge could eat on that hamburger.

7. I'd have shaken you for free.
No idea what that means, but it had to be said.

8. In other words, if you had been paying, then you would have
left the restaurant. Are you trying to demonstrate that you know what it feels like to be poor?

Now, consider the people who work in that restaurant. They are probably even poorer. Your friend should have left a $390 tip, but that might make your friend unelectable.

9. My friend has more money then sense.
Yes, I have been poor.

I spent three years very poor due to medical bills.

My friend did leave a nice tip.

12. At Snuffers,
you'll pay about $7 for a burger not including fries. Those can be an extra $2-$5 depending on size and if you want cheddar on them. Add $2 for drink and you're looking about about $22-25 for dinner for 2.

19. I don't know if they had any,
Everything was over priced.

The place was a theme type place.

I really don't like going to places like this.

16. Snuffers cheese fries!!!!
I've driven there from Austin before largely just for Snuffers cheese fries!

I don't think $6 is expensive for a burger, either. Maybe a fast food burger, but not a meal burger.

22. I know! I lived there sixteen years ago, and they were legendary then.
And they were the hardest part of Dallas to leave.

21. There is a mom and pop hamburger place that sells fresh ground meat hamburgers
with fries or onion rings and drink for $7.

The burger is huge and so good.
