Ugh, I fucking HATE these hidden fees charged to restaurants, stores, etc just so that a customer can use a service like UberEats or even things like a credit card. It’s a way for these 3rd party services get money by secretly jacking up the prices that consumers pay.

Nah, this just makes the fee transparent and charges the customer instead of the restaurant.  

What? Adding a “health care surcharge” always been ridiculed on this site.

No. The problem with these fees is that it charges the RESTAURANT instead of the CUSTOMER. So when the restaurant has to charge higher fees for it’s food, customers get mad at it instead of at the parasitic service that’s acting as the middle man.

My wife and I each have the slightly smaller Farpoint / Fairview 40 and love them. They're easy to fit in an overhead bin, plenty of room for things like clothes, and no waiting for checked luggage. I'll admit I have to be far more careful about what I pack, but in general we have used the wheeled luggage since we got…

Why not just look up the specific Jackson Racing Supercharger that’s bolted on? It’s $4k without a “factory tune”, and $5k with.

Sorry, sounds like you’d rather just piss and moan about stuff than actually make life better. Go back to whatever it is that you were doing and leave the grownup stuff to the grownups.

Pretty sure the key word there is “elected”.  Maybe we should elect better people then?

Ticket everyone so that the “flow of traffic” slows down to a reasonable speed, or increase the speed limit to match the flow of traffic if that’s what is safe.

Your “due process” is in court if you choose to fight it. Talking to a cop is not considered “due process”, since the 5th and 14th Amendments *literally* say that “No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

This is a slightly longer video than, uh, one minute, but yeah, it also says to shut the fuck up:

Spoiler alert: they died.

Sort of like how Olive Garden is America’s idea of Italian food, or Red Lobster is America’s idea of seafood.

Yeah, but for those of us who don’t drink soda it’s pointless. “Hey, you get a $5 foot long only if you also pay us $1.79 for this 3 cent sugar water concoction!"

The local deli by my house sells a “6 inch” sub that has almost as much bread and probably twice as much meat as the “foot long” Subway sandwich. Subway subs use narrow bread and the absolute bare minimum of meat that they can possibly get away with. There’s nothing special about a “foot long” that that is barely 3"…

But don’t you know that looting is just the voice of the unheard? Like these poor, underprivileged white girls?

Nah, I’ll just swing by my local (Wisconsin) grocery store and peruse their multiple cheese aisles. Nothing like 2 aisles (and both sides!) dedicated to nothing but cheese.

I’m surprised that you haven’t seen beef prices going higher.  I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that chuck roasts at Costco were up to $7.50/lb!  This was $5/lb not too long ago...  

Packaged food/junk is has a higher percentage of it’s total cost being in packaging/marketing/etc, ie things that haven’t actually changed.  Since the increase is in the actual *food* portion, actual food (fruits, vegetables, meat, etc) is going to have a faster increase than say, Cheerios.
