For a country as huge as china, the takeout number seems very low but then i remembered that takeout food doesnt cost $20 in china.

My girlfriend makes roughly $3/hr US at her job. Which might seem like not a lot, but $3 buys more than $15 in my state. She can buy freshly made and delivered food for $3 including delivery fee. I ordered a chipotle burrito to my work the other week and it was about $23 before tip. Takeout is way cheaper there for sure, even taking into account the differences in wages.

Those chipotle prices are insane, i can't believe people pay that.

Yeah, I was pretty desperate because I forgot my lunch and left for work too late to grab breakfast. I’ve done that since, and I just didn’t eat, because fuck that.
