Good luck finding a chain grocery store around here with a meat department that’s staffed by more than glorified shelf stockers. Most of what my local Meijer sells is vacu-packed meat.

Are “it tastes bland and it’s too expensive” part of the mix?

I’m with the flight attendant here. Clean your fucking mess up, people. The flight attendants job may contain hospitality elements, but their main concern is to make sure your idiot selves are safe on the flight and to get you out in one piece if things go wrong. They are not your fucking maids.

I understand the ethical debate about eating meat

Whenever someone talks about vegetarian animals I always flashback to a video I saw of a horse eating a chick whole. I was in my mid 20s at the time and it had never occurred to me that horses ate anything other than hay, grass etc. That was when I learned that most animals, even those we believe eat plants, are…

We need to stop forcing human dietary choices on animals.

Big Lots isn’t the same now that they’ve tried to move upscale with their own labeled products. What I liked about BL was the weird stuff that they stocked because it hadn’t sold elsewhere or was a small test run for large food producers, like the organic Oreos that I saw there once. You just don’t see much of the…

Even when I see them on a menu, it’s a safe bet they’re either the same frozen product from the same distributor, or baked without any use of an alkaline solution. They still come out fine, but are just missing the perfectly burnished exterior. For all their faults as mall chains, AA and WP at least give them a quick d…

ME! My favorite food is a soft pretzel with cheese and mustard. Hands down. I almost hate to see them on any menu because I cannot pass one up and then I can’t eat anything else. Luckily, for my health and sanity, they are scarce around here. 

Between this and a similar list about The Dollar Store/Dollar Tree/Family Dollar you all really really need to stop promoting businesses which contribute to the creation, upholding and exploitation of food deserts.

I always assume that anything for sale in Big Lots has high levels of mercury and lead.

A hot take I have is that Oreo Thins are the best Oreos.

Maybe if we stop playing along by calling them “pranks” it might help.

honestly the conveyor belts are actually pretty fun, if they still wanted to use them they just need to put a lid on the dishes that customers can’t re-attach. (sort of like the antitheft tags on electronics and alcohol but in reverse.)

Some folks need a good caning.

I envy those of you who live in a place where ordering sandwiches anyplace other than Subway is an actual option. 

If you have mid-range white collar salary and are still eating at midmarket chains you should probably learn some money management techniques.

I’m fine with more entertainment options. Every bar and grill where I live is just a bunch of old people sitting around watching the same boring ball game being shown on like, 6 giant monitors.

In other words, you live in a weird place that doesn’t have delivery. That matches what I said. Thanks for confirming.

Everywhere I have ever lived, which includes Utah, Oregon, Florida, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and Texas, I could order a pizza and have it delivered by the store itself. I regularly see cars with Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, Marco’s, and various local joints. If you don’t have such in…
