The most shocking part of the game is the price of goods! $14, $17 dollars for one meal to be eaten standing up? Wow. Here in Paris sandwiches cost between EUR 4 and 6 (usually 5), with a "menu" option that includes a can of soda and sometimes a "dessert" for 9-10. Anything above that would be considered extorsion.
Your user name being a reference to Coluche you're probably French? As a French you probably know these aren't exactly comparable. Yes, the US are probably richer than France per capita -- but not twice as much.
