    Is McDonalds in America expensive and crap?

    Jump

  • The old colorful designs were meant to entice people into the restaurant, the hard uncomfortable seats were meant to ensure you didn't hang around all day once you were done eating. They always wanted people to go there before. Now the interior is so depressing that it's clear they don't want people to eat there at all

    They always wanted people in the building, that's why they had a freaking playground in there

    Jump

  • McDonald's used to be cheap decent food here in the U.S. but over the last decade or so the prices have kept going up while the quality has gone down.

    To be fair no one has ever considered McDonald's to be gourmet food but it didn't matter because it was cheap and it was still pretty good.

    Now they are neither cheap nor good. You could get a real burger at a much better restaurant for about the same price.

    Since they've converted all of their restaurants into soulless little bland shoeboxes no one even stays there to eat anymore. The building is basically just a hub for drive through orders and DoorDash pickup.

    It's pretty depressing. I hardly ever go there anymore. A Whataburger just opened down the street where the food is much better and everything is at least 25% cheaper depending on what you order.

  • Tipping

    Jump

  • I may have overgeneralized because the cartoon was so silly in its implication that the wait staff are somehow cheating fishermen out of tips

  • Tipping

    Jump

  • My point still stands though that it has nothing to do with overly entitled wait staff as the cartoon would suggest but an issue with tipping culture and the restaurant industries unwillingness to pay anyone a living wage

  • Tipping

    Jump

  • It's because everyone except the wait staff gets paid a living wage. The waiter probably gets paid $2.75/hour because the shady restaurant owner wants YOU to pay the rest of their employees wage for them.

    The problem is not overly entitled wait staff, it's tipping culture in general. Any other job would pay at least normal minimum hourly wages.

  • After unveiling ridiculously expensive AR glasses, Snap's stock takes a dive

    Jump

  • I don't even get why companies are still pushing smart glasses. There's no legitimate use for them on the consumer market. There's already legislation being put into place to restrict what they can do because people immediately started using them for criminal activity. They're just an obnoxious annoyance to everyone who isn't wearing them 99% of the time.

  • If the FCC Bans Burner Phones, It Could Be a Privacy Nightmare

    Jump

  • Most spam and robocalling are not done from burner phones they are done through websites of which the FCC is fully aware. This seems like it's more about monitoring people's activities and preventing anyone without a Real ID from even getting a crappy burner phone.

  • Fox to Acquire Roku in $22 Billion Deal

    Jump

  • I've never heard anything bad about Nvidia but it's certainly possible that they could also be horrible

    It's so expensive I didn't really bother to check.

    I'm currently looking up how to run streaming services on my Raspberry Pi 5

    Jump

  • Great, 3 other ethically terrible companies or a 4th option that costs $150 per television... What a wealth of options!

  • Fox to Acquire Roku in $22 Billion Deal

    Jump

  • Great... Now there'll probably be a $35 monthly fee just for having the damned thing plugged into the back of the TV and it will come with a mandatory enrollment in Truth+ and Fox Nation 🤮

  • Trump’s $14M reflecting pool project couldn’t stop algae from blooming in the DC heat

    Jump

  • Wtf are you babbling about now?

  • Trump’s $14M reflecting pool project couldn’t stop algae from blooming in the DC heat

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's just weird. Why can't they call him something respectable like "daddy" like the Republicans do? That's totally not super weird or creepy to the point of being disturbing!

  • Trump’s $14M reflecting pool project couldn’t stop algae from blooming in the DC heat

  • I'm sure a ton of people will show up to sit in 90°F heat and heavy rain. They won't even notice the pool!

  • What ruins porn videos for you?

    Jump

  • When the guy talks nonstop through the whole video. If that's your thing then go for it and enjoy but it just makes the whole thing difficult to enjoy for me. The guy always sounds like some neckbeard who is getting laid for the first time in his life and thinks he's supposed to recite every cringe line from every bad porn he's ever seen. You're not who I'm here for dude 🤮
