Not really…?
I didn’t actually spend a lot of time in Zurich but I believe we spent about $50 USD per Person at a nice sit-down place with a wonderful view and we got drinks also. Which yes I consider that expensive but I didn’t surprise me because I knew what I was getting into.
It seems like I’m the only person who gets that “it is possible to find prices that high” is not the same as “is common in the vast majority of areas”. I’m not going to doxx myself here but trust me we pay way more for basically everything than almost anywhere else in the US, and we don’t see anything like $25 for a basic ass drink. I’m sure I could find that somewhere but given that I’m not a rich person I don’t really look at the insanely high prices shit when far more affordable things are easily found basically everywhere.

This reminds me of people bitching about whole foods being so expensive. Because wf carries high priced items, people can’t seem to get it in their head that you can easily go into a whole foods and buy the high quality store brand stuff for most items and come out of the store spending a pretty similar amount compared to whatever the lowest tier grocery store you can find. Just because whole foods sells $35 coffee beans doesn’t make it true that “whole foods is way too expensive”. Have some common sense and price shop and it’s easy to not spend much. Most of the products they sell aren’t those insane bullshit brands and the store brand is usually an option.
