The main reason they have read is red makes you hungry,
and that's why the inside a bunch of reds. So,
for example, there might be a menu I have this
price much higher than the others. It's not over a price,
it's there to make the other deals seem like a
better deal, usually with the steaks and the like the
Ribbi for two, which is like two hundred and fifty dollars. Yeah,
it makes a fule a. You seem a lot easier
at seventy.

signs next to the price. Okay, they realize that having
like the dollar signed twenty four screams money, but twenty
