It would be even more amusing if they weren't ripping the community off. I
guess people put up with it partly because it seems easier (for some) than
getting in the car and driving into one of the neighboring towns and
patronizing the restaurants there - and partly because some people have
more money than sense (and clearly not much taste in good food).

I just have to wonder what their reactions would be if the staff at said
Club could read (or have read) some of these threads... <g>

And I just had another thought; pity you're not working as a restaurant
manager there because that would improve both the quality of the food and
the service drastically ;-)
