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.

These are both really easy sentiments to have. In the real world, we eat the food we can afford and work wherever will hire us.

"the food we can afford" is not descriptive of Taco Bell

Dude. Have you been to taco bell? You can get a well over 2000 calorie meal for like $15
