1. If you think restaurant regulars won’t notice a $1 increase, you clearly haven’t worked in a restaurant. And if you think a mom and pop Greek restaurant is serving 40,000 entrees per year, you’re delusional. The solution isn’t nearly as easy as you want it to be.

Yea! just raise the prices duh! I mean all those people are getting more money from the min wage hike so they have extra money! Just kick the homeless guy shitting in front of the store away before coming in because the police won’t do anything about it.

It did sell very well though.

They are probably right. Americans, for example, love McMansions, luxury SUVs, chain restaurants, and watching dogshit TV. They have some of the worst taste and culture imaginable. Of course they want the big ugly car for morons.

Don’t run a small business, huh?

More likely, it’s a tour to raise PR for the final sale. Costs them more up-front, but they’ll easily make it back at the auction. And doing it gratis widens how far it will be shown, increasing the pool of potential buyers.

Is this even a hot take? I mean, if you’re operating on razor thin margins, any increase in any expenditure could cause you to go out of business. New safety regulations, increase in electricity prices, food supply shortage, etc.  And frankly, higher rents are going to eventually put upwards pressure on all of your…

Seems totally bizarre that they carted the thing all over the world to different expos without ever being paid or reimbursed. I have a friend who works for a company that manages comic book conventions, and this definitely seems like something that should be paid for. They pay actors all the time to just show up.

I think that’s exactly the point Taylor’s making. I mean, she hits it several times in the album, that it’s the simple shit. That line on the last track about “I used to think love was burning red, but it’s golden”, she pretty much spells it out.

The kinja websites and ONLY the kinja websites are a fucked up mess that makes scrolling a mental torture that may cause actual seizures in users who persist in trying even though the screen bounces up and down and the beachball spins with each and every click before the screen rearranges itself higher or lower. Whatev…

I live by all 3. Popeye’s is the best but take too long and the employees suck ass. Church’s is okay if you want to see a hooker plug in her phone(behind the trash can) and take a bird bath in the washroom. KFC is just KFC that you just get a craving for once in a while.

And here come the straw man arguments.

Part of the holiday fun is giving fun gifts. When you give someone something they want, but wouldn’t buy for themselves, it’s more enjoyable. A gift card to a store someone likes, but can’t afford to shop at (or that sells “wants” rather than “needs”) gives them the ability to buy a fun gift, rather than just deposit…

I used to eat at KFC all the time due to the Hot Wings. Got a 20-pack every time I went in. Their Popcorn Chicken is good too.

Lol. This is some desperate back-pedaling. You: “Do you really do xyz ‘unironically’?”

Yeah, that was a weird flex. Fast and convenient foods are - well - convenient. I’m not going to drive an hour for fast food. We don’t have Popeyes or Church’s either.

I can’t believe anybody would make Church’s their first choice.

hell no.  kfcs potato wedges are already the best fast food fries by a long shot.  they shouldnt lower themselves to this. 

But why? Wedges and thick cut fries a la “Steak Fries” are the natural upgrade from regular old fries.
