Prime has always been Amazon’s greatest non-AWS idea for this very reason.

Yes. There are “good” pizza places near me, but a single pizza costs $20 and I can’t afford that when I’m feeding my kids. Little Caesar’s pizzas are around $8. Pizza Hut gives you two for $16. Papa John’s is two for $14. Papa Murphy’s has medium 2-topping pizzas for $6.99 currently. Etc.

It’s a money issue, not a…

“The company explains the surge pricing allows pubs to staff more team members at peak times, and also says that this is beneficial to customers who visit during non-peak hours.”

“The term “food hack” gets tossed around a lot these days, so The Takeout is extra selective about what makes the cut.”

“As an industry, we’re telling people you don’t have to spend a million dollars or be a brain surgeon to have a good cup of coffee.”

I don’t round up ever, instead I just donate directly to the organizations. The problem with the rounding up for charity is that you have a very short time to understand where the money is going and whether you actually support the organization. I live in a conservative area so on more than one occasion I have found…

Better things? Is the same true of counter people at fast food places, other kinds of restaurants and food/beverage joints? What of the people at the DMV who take money and issue forms? Any kind of public facing service job? On one blog site a guy was complaining about tipping, screaming at people to “get a better job…

Seriously. I’m expecting that soon I’ll have to unload the trucks, sweep the floor and unlock the place every morning if the madness continues. I’d at least like a discount for my labor. This is not easy for a 90 lb woman with arthritis issues.

I think the point he is making is if people have better things to do with their time than scanning groceries for pay, then why are we as consumers doing it for free. Don’t we have better things to do?

That said, you are wrong. There is a large subset of society whose skills and contributions do not rise above scanning…

This increasingly applies to every job.

If you don’t like how people are doing an unpaid job at a store to save a corporation money, complain to the corporation. Don’t write an article crying about how those unpaid laborers arent working they way you’d like. All of this could be fixed if these companies just paid people to scan your items for you and…

I will use self check out when I get a job at the grocery store.

If you’re going to use a self-checkout, calm the f down about other people not being fast and efficient. Go to manned register.

Concessions are still full price. That’s where exhibitors make their money. For the distributors, it’s a loss leader to get people back into going to the theater.

Ticket sales are only one part of the picture. The theaters have a massive profit on food items. More people in seats still means more concessions cash coming in.

It’s certainly a step in the right direction, but it’s more telling about the sorry state of American’s organized labor movement that unions have devolved this far from what was once the backbone of the American economy. And I’m fully serious when I say that unions were the backbone of the American economy. Not…

Fuck them them the hardest.

If the company opts to pursue an election and, in the meantime, engages in illegal union-busting activity, the NLRB will force the company into recognizing the union.

I didn't get the impression that washing with soap was "bad," necessarily, but it can leave behind residue that makes your food taste gross. Nothing is worse than biting into a fresh strawberry and tasting Palmolive!

How is that supposed to help the one right outside my bathroom that goes off from the shower steam?
