Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize? (lemmy.world)

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.

you aint gonna do it cus you know you're just gonna be walking out of taco bell with some napkins, and you and OP are full of it.

Well you're the expert on being full of shit so, I have to agree that you are indeed full of shit.

Hey pal maybe grow a wrinkle and understand that this isn’t specifically about the fucking napkin.

My god you are dense.

[–] blazera@kbin.social -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's about being overly entitled spoiled kids making life hell for food workers. A napkin dispenser wasnt filled fast enough and someone's got the fury of a righteous crusader against them now.

No, it’s about enshittification of everything so that rich people can get even more rich.

I know it’s hard to think about complex ideas but maybe keep your mouth shut if you are out of your depth.

you guys are lunatics thinking the corporate board has mandated a new policy of no more napkins. So now you get to go to taco bell and come back and tell me you were easily able to get some napkins.

Please refer to the last part of my previous comment to you, and then fuck off.

OP comes in with a claim and all of his defenders refuse to do the barest minimum of proving it. Because all of you know it's bullshit.

As I said, I worked for two franchises that specified two napkins only. We gave more on request but the managers didn’t get their bonuses.
