Poor guy’s so broke that he ran out of money for color.
If you’re tight on cash and getting fast food, I have doubts about how tight on cash you actually are
If you run out of people to judge, remember: you can always judge the destitute!

Cooking unfortunately isn’t really taught anymore. As someone who graduated and knew nothing about how to even do basic cooking, like didn’t know how to make pasta basic, I was basically in that spot. Luckily I found cooking videos and learned, but right after school it was a hard few years. If it wasn’t peanut butter, top ramen, or Mac and cheese I didn’t know how to make it - and it was incredibly intimidating

Cooking videos are probably the most prolific type on the internet after cat videos. But even then, peanut butter, ramen, or mac and cheese would be a lot smarter than spending your last fiver on a single sandwich.
You forgot about porn
I did mention cat / pussy videos :P
I was taught cooking in school, graduated in 2014 is that far too long for your “taught anymore”?
My school taught cooking but only 5 students per year could take it because of limited equipment. Suffice it to say, I was not taught cooking
we had a room dedicated for cooking with stoves and stuff, the class also taught how to sew and stuff
it was an elective though
I graduated in 2009 and my school didn’t teach us
Damn straight. I could feed myself for a day on $5 easy.
I could even stretch it to a weeks worth of meals, if shoplifting is allowed.
If shoplifting is allowed, you could go indefinitely…
They could just go to Little Caesar’s! Oh wait.
As a Little Caesars fan who ordered $5 pizzas all the way up to 2021…
This was my wakeup call when everything got expensive.
$5.99 where I’m at. You’re getting gouged.
They’re franchised and every single one in a 50 mile radius is this priced.
But also, everything is just way more expensive in my city. $15-20 for a lunch is average.
Wow. I didn’t realize they had online ordering. The times, they are a-changing.
Et tu?
You’re right; if I were ever to try to compete with Little Caesar’s, I would name my facility Big Brutus.
We went to Little Caesars for the first time in 5 years, and it ended up being more than Dominos, took longer, and wasn’t as good. Little Caesars used to suck but was cheap, now it just sucks.
So just Tiny Caesar’s this month?
I recently went on vacation and experienced this for the first time,
I have never personally done it myself, but when I was in Florida one of my friends would do it every time they entered an establishment they would buy a drink they would drink the drink during the time there and then on their way out they would refill it on the soda fountain. Asked them about it and the response was that they found the establishments that have the soda fountain able to be used by customers generally seemed to have a free refill policy.
I have never heard of that, it’s not a thing in my state, and I don’t think they actually do, but nonetheless I never saw her get stopped by any employee for doing it, and just by sitting at the table eating I could see that it definitely was not just her doing it.
I have no clue what state you could be from where soda fountains in the dining room aren’t free refills.
I’m from VA and lived in a few different states. I’ve work in fast food. The syrup and carbonated water combo is cheap. The cup is more expensive. Most restaurants would pay the few cents and keep the customer coming back. I always used to refill my soda when I left places. I’ve been cutting back on soda, so I don’t do that anymore.
The ‘trick’ the fast food workers are supposed to look out for is the customer asking for a cup for water and then filling it with soda. Most cashiers don’t care enough to track you though.
Pretty common in my state for refills to be free. I’ve even seen claims that the cup is more expensive than the soda in it to the company.
They usually have a coupon code for $7.99 for any footlong, which isn’t too bad.
That won’t even cover the Doordash charge.
I don’t understand why people use doordash or food delivery.
Especially people with limited funds.
Me neither. My daughter’s prior bf had $200 in the bank and ordered Wendy’s from doordash. There’s a strong treat-yoself mentality that says everybody deserves a little luxury and makes it practically immoral to be frugal or contradict the “healthy food is too expensive” gospel etc.
My ex did, and was of limited funds. I think the answer is depression, apathy, and a good dose of financial illiteracy.
Definitely financial illiteracy.
I can afford it but refuse to use those services. They inflate the menu prices, add fees. I’m ok with tipping but not the rest of that.
Also, it’s ridiculously inefficient compared to picking it up yourself. It’s not just someone else is doing the drive for you. The delivery does work for the store so there is extra driving occurring, deadheading in trucker parlance.

Same!
I grew up poor and had to stretch every dollar. I’m a highly paid engineer now and I still look at a $10 delivery fee with disgust.
And do people not realize that on Doordash, they charge $1-3 more per item? So your $12 pho bowl is $15 on Doordash.
Price discrimination ,how they treat their contractors, and contractors eating your food, fuck that noise.
Especially when most restaurants I’d order from are like 1-2 miles away. It’s worth it to me to drive 15 min roundtrip to save $10-15 and be able to check my order.
Going to the restaurant and back is the same distance for you as it is for the driver going from the restaurant and back.
That only applies if they live at your house, and only deliver to you for thier entire shift, otherwise they have dead space to cover as part of being able to do delivery between other customers, restaurants and going home. That makes it not the same.
Just when I’m drunk
You can’t keep a couple of cans of stew in the house?
Stew doesn’t hit like pizza when I’m drunk
You don’t keep flour, yeast, olive oil, canned tomatoes, cheese and toppings?
When I’m drunk, I ain’t got time to cook! That’s for sober-me!
