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.

Went to McDs for the "convenience" of an egg sandwich the other day. Was told to pull into spot #1 to wait. TWENTY MINUTES LATER they brought the food and couldn't muster anything resembling an apology. So I guess I'll be making my own fucking egg sandwiches from now on.

Sounds like you should be making your own breakfast sandos from now on!

Each day I want breakfast, I make myself a bacon and egg on toast sandwich. That takes me 11 minutes to make, and costs me under a dollar using local suppliers.

Not only does it not taste like hyperprocessed greaseball garbage like McDicks is, I also don't have to drive to get it!

Welcome to the rest of your life. You're gonna have the best brekkie sandos
