It’s an added cost that has no reason to exist. Yes, let me larp as a noble. Fucking dumbassery.
lol, my mother is a consumer in this market. 🙄
that’s basically the entire service economy at this point.
Eating out replicates having a kitchen staff, App that summons pizza delivery servant, another App to summon the coachman (rideshare), ect.
Not a moral judgement on individual consumers (assuming they aren’t dicks about it).
Yeah. Partly explains why I don't eat out much anymore after the pandemic had me break the habit.
Sometimes this stuff is just me trading my money to save some time, but any time I start to hear the words "premium" or, gods-forbid, "luxury" in a sales pitch, I'm 100% out.
Learning how to cook was probably the only good thing from the pandemic. It’s good on the finances, it can be healthier, and it’s just a genuinely nice skill to have.
