Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you get to keep the cup and straw with the julep? I figured yes.
I'm pretty sure you don't, which makes paying extra to eat out of a gold-plated bowl seem pretty frivolous. Not that I wouldn't do it if someone else paid, but I could probably buy my own gold-plated bowl and put my own sundae in it for much less than Serendipity's charging.
I agree with ita that the sandwich is not all that overpriced, considering what goes into it, and how much.

Of course, the sad thing is that the workers who sew designer clothing are probably not paid much more than those who make clothes for Old Navy.
there's an awful lot of margin in the sandwich, too. Japanese beef is expensive partially because of the overhead.
That's not margin. Price of sandwich=cost of making sandwich+margin. I have to pay a gazillion dollars for the beef--and the things you describe about the cost of beef isn't even margin for the beef supplier. It's the costs of producing that beef.
If you just want excellent beef without the legend, buy American wagyu. (Which isn't easy to find.)

Yeah, that's nuts.

Word.
Gawker or someone had a bit when NYC got rid of the sales tax on clothes under $110, but they were like "Who buys jeans cheaper than $110?"
This person lives in a competely different world than I do.
Margin is basicly the per-item profit (not counting overhead).

Seriously. I dislike paying more than $50 for jeans.

They live in a completely different world than I do, and I'm only like 5 miles away!
