Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize? - eviltoast

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.

      I’m incredulous.

      You’re right in that taco bell wants to maximise profits, but surely the provision of napkins allows them to produce more profit.

      I mean a lot of companies are doing a lot of shitty things worthy of criticism, but I don’t think that this is one of them.
