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

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

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

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@local106.com 11 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

+$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.

How the hell do people afford this lifestyle.

[–] penguinsAreRapists@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

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

[–] ComfortablyGlum@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

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

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anybody can post here, even advertisers.

[–] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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.

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

The fast food worker seeing a door dash order pop up on the screen 5 minutes before closing

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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

Go home Uber eats ad team.

TIL Jean de la Fontaine also wrote smut.

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

[–] TheControlled@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

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

[–] Solaris1789@jlai.lu 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] throwaway23592386685@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago
[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Incredible potential for this format

That style can only be Milo Manara.

thanks my friend will appreciate it

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

The lady in the picture doesn't look like she's charging anything.
