like I went to taco bell and they didn't even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don't get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

Fiduciary responsibility, number has to get bigger

Maybe they are out of them because some ghoul took all of them to clean their car? One self entitled customer.

It’s all disgusting out there.

My wife and I kicked all fast food 2010.

We use a crock pot for beans. Buy tortillas etc. We can beat Taco Bell burritos with zero worry about disease.

We transmuted our disgust for corporate hegemony into carefully crafted campaign designed to rise above it as much as possible.

And we’re not saints. Still using abuser Amazon because fuck. But we try and I ride right in by fast food faces feeling so good not to give them an effing dime.

If you've never operated or owned a restaurant before, it's because the top 3 expenses in a restaurant are: food, labor, and paper. Controlling paper usage helps control costs significantly. That's why.

Are you sure they didn't just conscript the napkins for TP? It is Taco Bell after all...

Its hard to believe a fucking nobody bank like SVB collapsing could do this.

It's a pretty complicated economics question why inflation is happening. They're working on it by adjusting interest rates, I guess.

As for why the average American isn't doing so well, it's basically the rich getting richer while the poor get poorer. If this same inflation was happening with a 70's distribution of wealth (and IIRC it actually did) it wouldn't be fun but it wouldn't be pushing so many people to the brink, either.

Taco Bell will just put out a "napkin tipping" jar and blame lack of tips for not providing napkins.
