Also “this economy is killing me” after they raise their fucking prices 40% in a year…
I’ve completely abandoned some of my favourite restaurants at this point.
I went from eating out every single day to making everything at home for the last 4 months. Cut back on my food spending by 66%
Fucking grocery prices are up big time too. I like to grill Ribeyes, and the price has almost doubled. Everything has gone up, but like you said, the restaurants are even crazier. $14 at a McDonalds for a skinny guy like me? Fuck that
I only really eat one meal a day and it’s a big one. Would be like a 2L of soda and a large pizza or a sub and app from a restaurant. I wouldn’t have it delivered but it was easily 25 bucks a day for that one meal. Now I meal prep egg cups for breakfast and cook up a big batch of chicken tacos for the week or just make rice or salad for dinner. Grocery bills under 80$ for a week. I only have one mouth to feed though and I hate cooking.
The reality is that the guy on the left is $15.51/hr, then they put “competitive salary!” in the job description
None of the businesses in my town are offering anything higher than $12 USD an hour and then the managers will try to talk you down from that figure.
Probably depends on your position and academic background. What are you applying for?
I’m disabled and can’t work.
So you are saying that you don’t know the market prices and just make up a number for an artificial job?
I understand that you probably want to be heard but this was not a good start. Better write about your experiences instead of making something up.
Nobody wants to work anymore
Did anybody ever “want” to work?
If we lived in a Star Trek style utopia with replicators I wouldn’t sit around eating burgers all day and watching TV, but at the same time I wouldn’t do the job I currently have.
I’d do my current job if I could work for like 4 hours a day, 3-4 days per week, and do 1/3 less work per hour.
I love my job and my work, I just wish doing it for 40 hours per week was enough to live on.
I do. I like doing my part to help people out with their needs.
