cabbagee,

Fast food’s too expensive even without delivery expenses these days. Makes me sad.

xpinchx,

McDonald’s it’s still pretty good if you use the app. When I forget to bring lunch I get two spicy chicken sammies and a large drink for like $5 and you get points for free shit too. Not an ad but there are genuinely good deals in there if u just want cheap sustenance.

MNByChoice,

This comment is not really about you, but I really hate the McDonald’s app. The McDonald’s app has been super frustrating to use. It acts like it is loading a huge database. Each selection results in a 10 to 20 seconds wait for the next. Often selections don’t register.

Taco Bell’s app is great too use.

Gargantu8,

Weird I’ve had the complete opposite experience. Taco bell app is garbage and mcds is perfect haha

foggy,

Probably different os and/or devices

SpaceNoodle,

Both are garbage peddling garbage.

DigitalPaperTrail,

All food's too expensive these days.

foggy, (edited )

I went to Chick Fila to get the pimento cheese and chicken sandwich.

I got the combo. Comes with fries and a drink.

$13 and change.

Got 2 double cheeseburgers and a coke at mcds, $12

That used to be less than $6. Like 5 years ago.

SpaceNoodle,

It’s more and more expensive to fund bigots these days

foggy,

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. Let’s not judge others by the food they eat, that doesn’t do anything but divide us further.

explodicle,

That phrase applies more to things you can’t reasonably stop consuming, like plastics.

There are a few exceptions where there’s one capitalist producer who is significantly more divisive than the alternatives, and switching costs are extremely low.

SpaceNoodle,

Cool whataboutism, bro

foggy,

Cool strawman, bro.

This thread is about inflation and price gouging. It is not about individual corporations political leanings.

SpaceNoodle,

Literally not a strawman.

How dare I mention a side topic!

Get over yourself.

foggy,

lol that’s literally a strawman.

Denying the truth doesn’t make it go away.

Cheers bud.

SpaceNoodle,

Have fun with your illiteracy while glibly funding bigots.

foggy,

Have fun blindly funding other bigots while judging people over arbitrary bullshit.

Enjoy the benign prison you’ve crafted for yourself.

Have fun creating your own special brand of prejudice

I hope you don’t have any children you’ve fed any Gerber products. Or any haagen dazs ice cream. Or kit Kats, or Perrier sparkling water, or feed your pets Purina, Alpo, friskies, or use tidy cats kitty kitter. Hope you don’t enjoy smarties, or shredded wheat cereal, consume literally any frozen foods that weren’t produced by a local company, use toll house chocolate chips, or consume any cookies that do (most). I hope you don’t sleep on a purple mattress, or enjoy in n out. Hope you’re not drinking any Bullit Bourbon. Or Budweiser. Or Stella. Or becks. Or Busch. Or corona. Or fosters. Or goose island. Or wicked weed. Or Michelob. Or miller.

Hope you don’t own any Sony products. Or apple. Or Samsung. Or Huawei.

Hope you’ve never flown American Airlines. Hope you’ve never bought anything from Victoria’s secret, McDonald’s, Walmart, Applebee’s, amazon, JCPenney, Verizon, sprint, Starbucks, or Wendy’s. Home Depot. Toyota. Motorola, FedEx, UPS.

Hope your bank isn’t affiliated with fidelity investments, jpmorgan chase, Wells Fargo, Citi group, or PNC. Or… boa, td, or… any bank. I hope you don’t use banks.

Dipshit.

Go on, keep making our world more divisive by judging anyone who has given any money to any of those institutions. Or go live off the grid and stfu.

Your ISP certainly donated to the GOP over the last decade; get off the internet.

SpaceNoodle,

OK, I get it, you’re a bigot.

foggy,

get off the internet. Your ISP donated to the GOP. You’re supporting bigots.

SpaceNoodle,

Oink oink bigoty pig

foggy, (edited )

Unable to deal with the cognitive dissonance of trying to marginalize someone for eating chik fil a because it supports bigots over the internet, the internet which is provided to you by companies that also support bigots, you resort to childish name-calling.

I’m just going to report you at this point. Cheers 🍻

SpaceNoodle,

What do you call someone who defends bigots? A bigot!

foggy,

Guess that makes you a bigot.

SpaceNoodle,

“No U?” Brilliant work there, Bigoty McBigotpants.

foggy, (edited )

Yes. Sorry I’ve confused you. It really was pretty straightforward, though.

I’m going to block you now, because it’s clear you’re a low value user to interact with.

I’m sure you’ll respond with something to scream into the void, because you’re quite clearly the kind of person who needs to feel like they’ve won a conversation, and you can’t feel that way unless you get the last word.

Just know it will be read by no one.

SpaceNoodle,

I’m not even bothering to read your bigotry defense.

Cockmaster6000,

Might as well buy blood diamonds and clothes made by child slaves. No ethical consumption derp durrrr hurrrr I so smart

RomeCallen,

Dude I just spent like 17$ on subway

It’s the worst!

SpaceNoodle,

Yes, Subway is the worst! Why are you buying it?

JJROKCZ,

Unlimited fresh vegetables, and a good range of them, is pretty unique in the fast food scene. It may be getting pricey but it’s a good slightly healthy meal if you make good use of the vegetable topping. Don’t be like a child and just get a ham sandwich with no vegetables, that’s not what subway is for and yea it’s a terrible idea if you’re just getting meat cheese and a condiment

paddirn,

+$10 for pretty much every meal now. I guess fast food is trying to curb American’s fast food addiction by pricing them out of it.

@JakoJakoJako13@lemmy.world avatar

Nothing is worse than my 3 piece Popeyes combo with fries and a Dr. Pepper going from $7.49 to $15 over 4 years.

SpaceNoodle,

Child war slaves are worse

But I get what you’re saying

jaybone,

Yeah but can you dip child war slaves in ranch?

SpaceNoodle,

Of course!

Gamey,

Don’t worry, our bodies are thankful in the end!

doctorcrimson,

It hasn’t taken long for advertisers to find Lemmy.

6daemonbag,

If db0 let an actual advertiser on our instance I’m sure they’d be nuclear pissed

doctorcrimson,

Anybody can post here, even advertisers.

6daemonbag,

I’m aware. Judging by OPs history and the fact they’re dbzer0, a piracy and anarchy instance, I doubt it’s uber would want their name associated bvvqqqqq. I was mostly joking anyway.

doctorcrimson,

Oooh, I get it now. Thank you for explaining, sorry I didn’t get it right away.

6daemonbag,

I’m glad you could glean my thoughts out of that abomination of a comment haha. I don’t even know what word I meant to say with that jumbled mess

MEAL PREP A DISH OF BEANS/ LENTILS FOR EMERGENCIES EVERY WEEK. Fuck uber

doctorcrimson,

Lentils are cool but have you ever kept dehydrated peas in your house?

They don’t. That’s why there’s souvh credit card debt

_number8_, (edited )

i don’t know why people need to shame each other for succumbing to the desire to Purchase when our entire society is designed to encourage it

ubermeisters,
@ubermeisters@lemmy.world avatar

Probably the same reason that you feel ashame, whereas nobody actually shamed you

ComfortablyGlum,

There is a ton of shaming done. Politicians, ceos, newspaper headlines bitching about how no one wants to work, how people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, how a major economic depression with 50% joblessness will teach workers to appreciate their jobs and their bosses more.

ThatWeirdGuy1001,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world avatar

As a food worker who’s absolutely fucking sick of delivery services I’m shaming them.

ComfortablyGlum,

While at the same time telling us to stop buying daily coffees and making avocado toast. Just another way to fuck us up.

GCostanzaStepOnMe,
@GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de avatar

Because getting into debt for treats and shitty mcnuggies is bad (?)

CosmicCleric,
@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not so much trying to shame, it’s more like when one moth is telling his friend the other moth not to go into the light.

Manifish_Destiny,

Thanks for the ad i guess

_number8_,

i can’t tell if i’m too old now or what but over the last year i’ve gotten insanely radicalized against corporatism and can’t stand seeing brand names anywhere. i remember sometimes i’d use them in normal posts, but reading others do it really makes it sound like an ad

ZombiFrancis,

I checked the other day and McDonalds was charging $3.49 per hash brown on one of the delivery apps.

That was as far as I got before boiling water for oatmeal.

You can setup availability times in the merchant portal. If this has happened to you, it’s because of your shitty management.

TheControlled,

For real? Management?

funkajunk,
@funkajunk@lemm.ee avatar

I know, those guys usually do whatever they can so the staff has an enjoyable experience.

/s

TheControlled,

Yeah in my experience the vitality, finances, and comfort of employees is always paramount to good ol’ management! Especially the owner who visits every 3 months!

AnyProgressIsGood,

Why not double the price of your order and get it slower

Go home Uber eats ad team.

10_0,

Have I stumbled upon a conspiracy about advertiserss?

TheControlled,

Paying triple is good enough reason for me. Haven’t used it since the lockdown.

toy_boat_toy_boat,

There should be a chastity belt on Uber Eats with a dollar sign for a keyhole.

TheControlled,

I’m TheControlled and I approve this message.

_bug0ut,
@_bug0ut@lemmy.world avatar

For real. I still regularly lose the “make my own vs. takeout” battle, but a nice evening drive is better than paying $80 for a $40 2-person meal.

erogenouswarzone,
@erogenouswarzone@lemmy.ml avatar

*$80 for a $10 2-person meal (if you made it yourself probably)

OutlierBlue,

Waaaiiit a minute here. What exactly are you planning to eat?

Leviathan,

Ah yes, I’d love to watch a car drive to different restaurants and deliver to other houses while my food is getting cold on their passenger seat instead of just getting it myself. Fuck these delivery apps, it’s always more trouble than it’s worth.

The thought of giving Uber any money usually loses me my appetite anyway

And even if i somehow give in theres no world where im affording it

throwaway23592386685,

Uber Eats is not worth the money anymore. I haven’t ordered in 6th months and haven’t looked back.

@FALGSConaut@hexbear.net avatar

If you don’t have one already you should get a slow cooker. Super easy to make all sorts of meals, just chuck some stuff in it in the morning and come back some time later to a delicious hot meal.

Parent,

Good slow cooker beans and rice recipe here: coopcancook.com/creamy-crock-pot-red-beans-recipe…

420blazeit69,

Incredible potential for this format

Parent,

Buy buy buy
