im not talking about you specifically but every time i go out for a fucking walk there seem to be infinite people dining outside, infinite people dining inside, restaurants everywhere, infinite drug cartel motorbike taxi drivers delivering pad thai. a couple weeks ago on a saturday i was with friends in a downtown area and we wanted to get food and everyone we were with didnt even give a shit about where to go and everywhere we went was swamped like it was dorsia.

cost of living increase. people can't afford to pay $200 for the same groceries $80 bought two years ago, but they can afford to pay $50 for a big mac.

Jimmy John’s used to have their standard subs (no 1 through 6, and the BLT for $3.99). You could pay a dollar more and get a $4.99 “club” which had an extra serving of meat. Or you could pay a dollar less and for $2.99 get a “slim” which was just bread and meat. Then there was the gargantuan which was 4 servings of meat and cheese and that was like $6.50. The whole menu made sense.
Now the standard subs are $8.99 and a “giant” (which is really just 2) gargantuan will set you back two Jacksons.

Gargantuan is $12 and makes 3 meals by itself. But then you can buy day old bread loaves for 50 cents and make a week worth of sandwiches out of it for like 15 bucks
