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.
I'm pretty sure you don't, which makes paying extra to eat out of a gold-plated bowl seem pretty frivolous.
Yeah, that's nuts.
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.
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!

I didn't convey that accurately? It's what I meant to say, anyway.

I think they live in my world, and I'm just cheap.
With the $10K martini, you do get to keep the ice.
Heh. There's a place on the UES that serves espresso martinis with espresso beans in the bottom of the glass (I'm sure they're not the only ones, but they're the ones in this story). The waitress must have told me at least 3 times to be extra-careful drinking it, lest I choke on a bean.
[Point being, I suppose, that I've had practice not swallowing things at the bottom of martinis, so someone should buy me the $10k one. As a present.]

I go to a Levis factory outlet store - I can buy slightly irregular jeans for up to half off (average about $25-$30).
That's not margin.
Sorry I was unclear in putting those two sentences in proximity. I have not seen the wholesale costs of the ingredients of that sandwich but I'd be willing to be there's a healthy margin there.
On an unrelated tack, the point of the sandwich is clearly to pick ingredients by their high cost, thus selecting Japanese beef, which is expensive to produce.
Why the fuck would anybody buy a Kobe beef burger?
