    Make your slop cheaper or fuck off. These people really are stupid. They are greedy and lack basic positive human traits but otherwise they are just stupid.

    The company behind brands like Heinz, Kraft and Philadelphia is now cutting prices (2) on some products that had grown too expensive, increasing promotions…

    Yay! Prices are actually going to drop a little?!

    …and rolling out smaller package sizes at lower price points.

    Fucking jackals.

    I’m doing my part helping put McDonald’s out of business. They aren’t cheap anymore and somehow the quality has gotten worse. I went from going once a week many years back to once a month then a few times a year to never. Every time I go I’m disappointed.

      It’s not even really any more expensive to go to a proper sit-down restaurant and order actual real food, anymore.

      • That was the reason I stopped going to Carl’s Jr years ago. Got to be about the same price as a real restaurant, albeit their burgers were still pretty big and not terrible. But when your best thing used to be advertised as being as good as a sir down burger but for only $6 and it goes up to the same price as a sit down burger, I might as well go get the sit down burger.

      I go for only one thing - a Sausage Egg McMuffin, maybe once a week. That’s all.

      They screwed up my last two orders. One didn’t have an egg, and one didn’t have the sausage or cheese.

      Is it that hard?

      I think I’m doing my part but the extreme discounts in the app every two weeks mean I’m still visiting. It is a nice break from ramen.

        I totally get that! When I visited the most was when they had the dollar menu and I honestly used it to survive back then. These days it’s the app and only sometimes but same thing.

        You couldn’t beat $3.75 for 2 sandwiches and a small fry when I had $20 to my name that had to somehow last me the work week!

      It makes me feel ill. The entire following day I feel tired and bloated.

      Lays just had a company-wide price decrease because a couple of years ago, they decided to get really greedy, and crank up their prices. Really stupid, since you can buy a big bag of first rate chips from Aldi for less than $2.

      They finally decreased their prices - but only AFTER losing a couple of billion bucks, the dickheads. They tried so hard to fuck the consumer as hard as they could, and rather than just take it, the consumer walked away.

        Not only did they raise prices they decreased the amount of product in the packages. One of their greedy stupid ‘leaders’ thought we would all just love that combination.

    You mean the parasite class is having money trouble because the peasants aren’t buying? How dare they opt for cheaper options when they can barely afford rent! Don’t they know it’s paramount to society that they slave away to engorge those who already have too much???

      Yeah it’s the parasite realizing that they went overboard with sucking the blood of their host and now the host is dying.
