It's truly scary how minimum wage hasn't changed

I worked for McDs in high school, around 2008. Big Mac meal used to be $6.08 with tax, $1 menu used to be $1.06 with tax. I went the other day and was shocked to see how much everything costs now plus I have to order via a screen (which I find bizarre, but maybe I'm just old now).

I also feel like working there used to be kind of fun. I'd take the order from the drive thru/take the money, kitchen would secretly prioritize drive thru orders (everything is timed), and window person would get the order together. Now it seems like they take 1 or 2 drive thru orders at a time and make the line wait until those are done.

Seems like fewer people working & prices went up - and I'm sure those poor folks working are making minimum wage. It's just sad all around.

I just genuinely don't understand why people think it's necessary. I use Prime once a year and it's when my boss gives me a gift card for Christmas. I guess I just don't understand what the typical person is buying every single month from Amazon to warrant a subscription - I know 1 or 2 people buying cat litter every month and having it delivered, but why? Just go to the store! I love in a rural town and I still trek to the store. Maybe if you have mobility issues or something but I just don't get it. Probably just the anti-consumer in me.

Trying TemTem. Palworld made me realize I never even tried TemTem!

I haven't played with friends and am quite enjoying it!

I understand your pain. I am fortunate enough to have a spouse who gets Blue Cross through his company.

I always initially hate UI changes, will make my decision in a few days if I like it

UnitedHealth stopped their contact with UVM Health Care in 2024. I work remotely in Vermont and United Health is the only option at my company. Big shoutout to UnitedHealth for being the worst health provider, big big big EFF YOU. Record profits in 2023 and you couldn't renew a contract with a nonprofit network.
