Think about the savings at 2:00 AM on a weekday night! hold on I'm being told that we have no incentive to lower those prices at all... Think about the value generated for our shareholders!

At a restaurant you ask people to transport, cook and serve food for you and then clean up afterwards. Why did you think it could ever be cheap enough to do that all the time(instead of something special you do once a week or so). You can only do it all the time if the workers get an unfair wage for all the labor they provide to you or if machines do it

It's gotten to where the take and bake stuff at the grocery store is cheaper than buying the ingredients and an onion costs more than a pork chop. Food pricing is all arbitrary asspulls.

I agree that the culture of fast food is bad and unsustainable, and I think it's even pretty disgusting, but lol, not a cent of the price hikes is for the benefit of the workers.

quote:In the ancient Greco-Roman world, a thermopolium (pl.: thermopolia), from Greek θερμοπώλιον (thermopōlion), i.e. cook-shop,[1] literally "a place where (something) hot is sold", was a commercial establishment where it was possible to purchase ready-to-eat food. In Latin literature they are also called popinae, cauponae, hospitia or stabula, but archaeologists call them all thermopolia.[2] They were mainly used by those who did not have their own kitchens, often inhabitants of insulae, and this sometimes led to thermopolia being scorned by the upper class. Some things don't change.

I wonder how that works. efficiencies of scale, also the pre-cooked stuff in the store is usually lower quality than whats being sold as produce EDIT  For content - I know Facebook has been poo poo on continously in this thread, but why do people post incredibly weird videos in Facebook Groups? I'm strictly on Facebook because of Marketplace, and so I'm in a bunch of local BUY/SELL/TRADE groups, and there is invariably someone from SE asia posting not-quite-porn and not-quite-animal-mutilation videos. What's the point? Its trivial to unfollow a group, and the videos are always shares-of-shares-of-shares Vampire Panties fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Feb 27, 2024 |

Food pricing is all arbitrary asspulls. IIRC a supermarket usually calculates some total margin they need to reach on all sold products, but they don't really care that much about margins on individual products. Like, it's fine to make a big loss on the pork chops if you can also sell 3¢ organic onions for $1. In the end it all goes to the same place, the sum function in the excel sheet

To go against the spirit of the thread, a company I'm surprised is still making decent products for what I consider to be decent prices is OXO. Whom amongst us doesn't have at least one Good Grips product in their kitchen drawers? You can get a decent can opener or garlic press for under $20. I assume I've now jinxed it, and OXO will be sold to some venture capital firm who will strip it for the copper in the walls.

Facebook removed all the big titty asses films off my feed. Now it's just F-4 Phantoms, Raccoons, and Star Wars poo poo. I have no idea where any of it comes from, but I bet some of you get it in your feeds now because you read this with your phone.

Yeah, and things that are likely to be on your hands when cooking (oil, acids, salt, maybe even?) also probably degrade that soft stuff faster, too.
