The usual place

Have you ever noticed that in TV shows that the groups of friends spend an inordinate amount of time in a specific bar, diner or coffeehouse?

Who actually does that?

How ridiculously pricey would that be?  Seriously, you'd be spending tons of money every week if people actually did that.  If they took the money they'd theoretically be spending, they could actually afford those really nice apartments that they all seem to live in (yet don't have well paying jobs).

Not sure why that crossed my mind.
