On the other hand, the power vacuum his absence would cause could result in a Gorbachev-type taking lead.

Or a Stalin…

I’m sorry, but fuck Wendy’s. Yes, capitalism is in decline around us all, but fuck Wendy’s for deciding they’re gonna be the first in fast food to push that envelope to full-blown-shit mode. And their burgers are just eh.

(Hey, pssst… so, quoting etiquette typically means you’re not using the quoting carrot on something not in the the comment you are replying to without noting it in the comment somehow. I was staring very confused at my replies inbox for, like, 4-5 read throughs of your reply, because its an opinion I could have typed, and couldn’t remember at all lol. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️)

I know, I saw it, and I don’t envy franchisers who’ve fallen victim to it. But passing along the fuckery to an employee is so. not. ok.

Which is hilarious, because its not as if they pay enough people to be on shift at the same time so that they could make their menu items efficiently. The last 2 dozen times I’ve had to pick up someone’s order from one of 5 or so local Subway’s, they have had 1 single person running the entire joint. I’ve made it a point to ask every time I go:

• -how many people are supposed to be working today?

1, and about half of them opened alone, and all were closing alone! (Even young women!!!)

• -Is it always this busy? (Every time its a 12-30min wait for them to even begin the order)

Always gets met with some form of “Yes, or even busier, with the occasional half hour where nobody comes in”

• -Are you the manager?

Nope.

Its at that point I tell them to take all the time they need. And that they are dramatically underpaid and should riot…

Five guys is at the very bottom of my “list of things that are so needlessly expensive that now I actively hate”.

Cause they’re so fucking good, and they use better stuff than most.

The moment that changes… will be the day I either go no-beef, or start rioting.

I mean, I myself was so fucking depressed that it was between the two, so literally anything that the Democrats would put up other than Biden I’m automatically going to be thrilled about. I could think of a few better options, actually quite the handful of better options than Harris, but you bet your sweet ass I’m still going to vote for her and support the ever living fuck out of her cuz fuck Trump.

Much easier to go from scrub weed to tree than to keep growing as a tree.
