I got chipotle last night. $13 for a Burrito filled with crunchy rice and chicken as dry as tree bark.
15 dollars an hour my ass |

Shit they make a minimum of $14.50 an hr at Wal-Mart now to be a reerun $15 an hr is $31,200 a year. My first job outta college in 08 or 09 was $34,000. Got damnnnn |

The ethical challenge for me is that I want people to make a livable wage, and a lot of jobs don't do that. Having said that, if the person at the fast food window is making $17 an hour now, and then getting (total guess here) another $5 an hour in tips, that's a full-time equivalent of almost $46,000 per year. In Denver, that actually qualifies as a livable wage, and I wonder how it compares to a lot of new college grad jobs. Good for them if they can make a livable age at the fast food window, I guess. But they'd better be doing a really good job of giving me fast service and good food. |

Fast food people can make $12/hour starting out here. WalMart is about $11.50. Of course, there's room for advancement almost instantaneously (because of the shortage of workers) so they go up from their starting wage pretty fast. Contrast that with full service restaurants. Some of the places around here don't even pay minimum wage ($7.25) so the servers are completely dependent on tips to make ends meet. |

Just tell me what something costs and I'll pay it. I did a Europe trip a couple of months ago, and it was so wonderful to see a price on the menu and pay that price without having taxes and tips added on. I don't understand why we don't do that here. Life would be so much better. |
I really hate when you have to make the choice to add the tip BEFORE you get your food or service. 1) I don't know if they are going to do a good job and be deserving of a tip, and 2) I sometimes worry that if I put no tip then they'll spit in my food or something.

Europeans are pretty good at taking care of the little people. Not to say that it's perfect by any means but in a lot of ways, it's superior to the US. |

It's honestly no different than how if someone gets sick and starts a gofundme so they can pay for medical care or for their kid etc and people think that they got all that donations is a feel good story when in reality it should be a story about how terrible our healthcare system is. |
Lol, my local 7-11 has a tip jar. All of my pot shops have tip jars.
My favorite is how Walmart+ auto applies a driver tip to your order and you have to manually zero it out. I use to tip grocery delivery drivers. Im over that shit now. I don't tip that shit and i no longer care. |

BUT...I am a sucker for the ol' round up your change for donation trick.

But go across the street to Perkins and the meth heads cooking at that place might spit in your food just because, before you ever did anything to piss them off. Around here it's fairly easy to spot the offenders. They're the ones with numerous health code violations. |

I don’t get my hair cut until my wife starts telling me that I look like an old lady from behind. The girl that cuts my hair charges $22 and I pay her $30. But she went to school with my sons and I used to work with her brother.
We pretty much stopped eating out when I got cancer, mainly because I don’t have much of an appetite. If we do it’s usually a 20% tip for good service. If we take the kids and grandkids, we tip 25% because we act like a bunch of vikings. sec |

This is a hidden issue for restaurants and other low paying jobs in high end areas. How to find low cost workers when average rent is $2,500-$3,000 a month and gas is $3.50-$4.00 a gallon. I never realized this problem until like 10 years ago when I lived outside DC in Ashburn, Loudoun County and a restaurant owner told me about this issue. Loudoun County is the #1 highest per capita income in the US for the last 10-15 years |

I just read an article this morning about a property tax incentive that created affordable living within a trendy upscale neighborhood in a major metro.
One of the anecdotal metrics quoted was along the lines of "this neighborhood needed baristas". |

Eh, the more I think about it he has to be trolling. Quality troll though.

His football trolling has gotten so bad, it's not even worth giggling at anymore. It's just cringy. This stuff will eventually get old and tired, too. :evil: |
Quote:
If most people trolled in this fashion, they would be called out for trying too hard, or just laughed at.... here though, people actually consider these posts to be true. |
Trolling or not, my offer stands. My shit, his mouth, $1000 a month.

A couple rows of trees as visual barriers and two rows of tiny homes can be hidden away in a lot of communities while being touted as some kind of humanitarian aid or good deed project. I can't tell if some of the ideas being pushed forward are hilarious or sad. |

I've always enjoyed the ritual of cooking and vino in the process so I'm ahead of the curve. But I will miss Red Lobster garlic biscuits for the occasional change of pace.

Trolling is just so weird to me. It's funny when Carcosa does it and occasionally he'll drop the façade if you're talking about something serious. Clay is a dipshit but he makes many, many non-troll posts.
What does BWillie get from his trolling? I guess just a little bit of attention? It's such a foreign concept to me. |
Welcome to crumbl cookie!

If you guys want some good and fairly easy stuff to cook at home, look at the Half Baked Harvest cookbook series. That's pretty much our menu.

The weekends I don't get BBQ it'll be another place like Final Cut, Fogo, or a LeFu Frog or something and costs even more so try to eat BBQ on weekends a couple times a month. |

My favorite fast food is chicken schwarma from Fel Fel. $17 a plate. I'll never give it up for me. The kids get it way less often.

When I head to the lake, I will grab a turkey or pork shoulder and smoke it. Split it into portions, vacuum seal it and I have food for a couple of weeks. It can be done fairly cheaply however, it takes some planning and shopping around.

Do BBQ places still have baby back ribs?
They seem harder to find on menus these days. |

I did a detailed analysis of my spending last year. For a two-adult household, I spent a total of $10,482 on food, or $201 per week.
Of that, $7,241 was spent on groceries, or $139 per week, and $3,241 was spent on restaurants, or $62 per week. |
