It can also vary in the US by location. I am going to expect to pay more for everything on the coasts than I am in, say, Arizona.

And it varies by restaurant. You can go into a Denny's and get a whole plate of food for 5 bucks. But it's crap food. Tastes pretty good, but is in no way good for you.

You can go into Turley's (a Boulder, CO place) and pay 10 to 20.00 per plate, but it's good food, quality food. Local grown, hormone free type food.

Or you can go into Village Tavern and pay up to 50.00 per person and it's going to be tasty quality food, but you have no idea the source, and you're largely paying for the ambiance and the waitstaff.

But on the coasts you can walk into a place that looks like a dive and be paying the Turley's price for Denny's food. Hello tourism.

(And for anything less than a 20.00 bill I would not put effort into retrieving it. I'd leave it for someone who needs it way more. Depending on the difficulty getting it, I may anyway. But I'm pretty well off, I would feel weird taking money others could use more.)
