Cake day: June 20th, 2023

  • I worked for McDs in high school, around 2008. Big Mac meal used to be $6.08 with tax, $1 menu used to be $1.06 with tax. I went the other day and was shocked to see how much everything costs now plus I have to order via a screen (which I find bizarre, but maybe I’m just old now).

    I also feel like working there used to be kind of fun. I’d take the order from the drive thru/take the money, kitchen would secretly prioritize drive thru orders (everything is timed), and window person would get the order together. Now it seems like they take 1 or 2 drive thru orders at a time and make the line wait until those are done.

    Seems like fewer people working & prices went up - and I’m sure those poor folks working are making minimum wage. It’s just sad all around.


  • I just genuinely don’t understand why people think it’s necessary. I use Prime once a year and it’s when my boss gives me a gift card for Christmas. I guess I just don’t understand what the typical person is buying every single month from Amazon to warrant a subscription - I know 1 or 2 people buying cat litter every month and having it delivered, but why? Just go to the store! I love in a rural town and I still trek to the store. Maybe if you have mobility issues or something but I just don’t get it. Probably just the anti-consumer in me.
