DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have a friend who constantly talks about the prices of food, drinks and restaurants. A lot of her conversations seem to center around how much things cost. GENTLE READER: If you were brought up never to talk about the cost of anything, Miss Manners hopes it came with a sizable inheritance. (Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www.missmanners.com; to her email, dearmissmanners@gmail.com; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Andrews McMeel Syndication, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.)
