Not bustling

For lunch today, I went to The Butler Did It, a nearby eatery. This place is usually bustling during lunch hour. But today, there were lots of empty tables and the place was just not busy. I’ll have to go back in a few days to see if today was an anomaly or if this is the way it is now with the recession. I have been packing left-overs for my lunch, mainly to watch my spending in these uncertain times. Based on the lack of customers at the Butler today, I think lots of other people are doing the same.
