For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    Why would doing this affect restaurant food quality at all? The only difference is that you pay more, because the restaurant passes the cost of being ‘on’ the service, to the customer.

    Please elaborate.

      Take doordash for instance. You order your food through doordash. As soon as you place the order the food is made. Then a driver decides to pick up your order. It’s already been 10 minutes since your food was made. It’s now getting cold. The driver finally shows up. It’s now been 25 minutes since the food was made. The driver picks up your order and drives it 10 minutes away. It’s now been 35 minutes since your food was made.

      You paid more money for food that sat for over half an hour. The food is now sub par and cold. You eat it anyway. That tells these businesses they can just cut quality and charge more because you’ll still pay for it.

      You little piggy. You’re gonna eat this cold overpriced food little piggy. Come get your cold shit quality food little piggy.

        None of this is relevant. The restaurant made the food the exact same way they always make it.

        You paid more money for food that sat for over half an hour.

        1. They didn’t know how long it would sit when they made it.
        2. They can’t even assume it will sit at all–it’s not uncommon for the dasher to arrive at the restaurant and then have to wait for the food to finish being made.

        The food is now sub par and cold. You eat it anyway.

        Only because of the passage of time, not because the food was any worse to begin with.

        That tells these businesses they can just cut quality and charge more because you’ll still pay for it.

        That absolutely does not follow, lmao. What an absurd leap.

        Firstly, the notion that a restaurant is actually going to go out of their way to tell their cook(s) to make a dish in a cheaper/worse way, but ONLY for doordash etc. orders, is patently ridiculous.

        Secondly, the restaurant makes about the same money either way (doordash vs. in person, I mean); the % increase on doordash is typically very close to, if not equal to, the % cut doordash takes for the services they provide the restaurant (maybe a bit less because doordash also saves the restaurant money by them not having to hire delivery drivers). If they push the doordash price up much beyond that, it’ll no longer be competitive, and competition is already MUCH more of an issue on doordash than it would be normally, because of how easy it is to ‘shop around’ restaurants in your area on doordash.

        You little piggy. You’re gonna eat this cold overpriced food little piggy. Come get your cold shit quality food little piggy.

        What is wrong with you? lol

      Don’t think this is a serious question… do you really not understand the myriad ways this changes things?
