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.

    Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now

    because “consumers” don’t have the self-discipline to quit giving money to businesses who do shitty things

      People need to be willing to suffer small conveniences to send a message to companies, but they aren’t. And then they complain that the government should step in, while they constantly elect people who protect business interests and are anti-consumer in the name of “small government.”

      It’s requires at least one or the other… a free market with consumers who drive the demand, or big government. With neither, you end up with constant corporate abuses.
