/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The amount of inflation on all food prices in the past year alone are fucking insane. God damn I hate this corona virus lockdown bullshit so much, you know that's the reason why all the prices got jacked up.

i just want shredded chicken
please

Taco Bell should be 20c. I've had bowel movements with higher protein content than am entire meal there. At least a mcdouble can help with gains.

>>15046287
The best part is that the virus really isn't even a big deal and we fucked ourselves in the ass by reacting to it like it was going to wipe the entire country out.
Now we will be facing the consequences for the rest of our lives. Stupid faggots everywhere will demand you wear a mask to exist near them.

>>15046295
It's a bit of a pain yeah but so many of the people in charge are old fucks who were at the most risk, so it makes sense they'd overreact. I'm more mad at the economic impact and the mass corporate interests that got so much more out of it then everyone else- record years for so many companies. What a pain in the dick.

>>15046304
well sure, corporations need bailing out because they employ so many people that it wasn't worth risking otherwise. but it turned out they also can streamline and cut costs with all the working-from-home.

Despite partisan shitflinging, it really was a matter of making decisions that only seem wrong in hindsight. The real consequences we're feeling is the increased resentment between fellow countrymen.

Restaurant prices would have gone up regardless though. It's natural that people eat out less in a pandemic even if the government isn't enforcing it.

Post body fatass

Oh look another thread full of mouthbreathers who know nothing about healthcare saying lockdowns bad

>less items
>higher prices

Nearly 1/4 million dead in the USA, ladies and gentleman. This isn’t Ebola or anthrax, but it’s still the deadliest widespread germ the world has seen in 100 years.

>Arby's will never have 5 for $5 beef n cheddars ever again

Well yeah, given the current worldwide circumstances, businesses like fast food (ie ones that rely on in person service) have to raise prices, in order to maintain their current earnings, or at least prevent themselves from suffering losses.

This wouldn't have happened if you fucking /pol/tards just wore your masks and practiced social distancing.

>>15046802
Gee thats a shame what will you do for a personality now?

>>15046811
Hear! Hear! Selfish pricks.

>>15046295
I have it now and I've had flus that were much, much worse.
Kinda based though because everything sucks balls anyway so accelerationism is the only way out.

Demand is lower which is why they are lowering prices, of course in Canada it works the opposite

>>15046818
>accelerationism is the only way out
objectively true

>>15046419
>yes we need trillions towards our employees as we fire them anyways and pay out shareholder bonuses

Fat fucking retard

>>15046811
copeseethe sheep

>>15046932

A business' purpose is to provide a service and make money while spending as little as they can. The literal job of upper management is to make the shareholders happy even at the expense of the lower level employees. I don't see why that is so confusing.

Although to support your point, Trader Joes is consistently ranked very high in terms of employee satisfaction and low turnover rates because they operate on a business model which emphasizes hiring from within, supporting employees and putting the needs of upper management and shareholders last, after customers and lower level employees.

>>15046795
why have the corona threads on other boards mostly gone away. I don't see people talking about it much on social media anymore. it worries me a lot. I am having a friend over and we're making lobsters and I'm considering making him stay on the back deck the whole time. he went downtown for halloween celebrations and didn't tell me and he goes and eats at restaurants, but he's my dealer so I need him to stop by I dunno. yay lobsters. I'm getting live ones I'll make a thread about it

>>15046946
Learn how to read a graph and you’ll see this is a dangerous germ, chucklefuck.

>>15046957
People still talk about it. Infections are exploding right now, it’s nuts. We could be at a million infections a day in a month, at this rate. See the graph in this thread and note how quickly daily infections have been increasing—this is uncharted territory. Ask your friend to wear a mask if he needs to go inside, eat with him outside. This spreads far less easily outdoors because the corona virus particles don’t stick around long in the air.

>>15046980
Enjoy the wave of death that’s about to sweep the country because of people like you.

>>15046986
I will, thank you!

>>15046977
yeah I know people still talk about it in the news and stuff I just see fatigue on social media. I can't find any of the normal coronavirus threads. there used to be a general for it on /sci/ and that's gone now too. my hospital system is about to reach peak again and people in public are more non compliant than ever. used to be I would see one or two people with no masks when out at the store and now it's difficult not to end up with one of the people in line behind me at a register. I've abandoned my shit and left a store before because of that shit I hate it. both of my roommates are grocery store workers which sucks dick. there's not much I can do. I mostly try to get them to bring groceries home for me but my roommate is so fucking stupid it pisses me off. he brought me home two whole chickens that expired that day like what the fuck do I even do with this shit we can't eat two chickens. ugh fuck all this shit

>>15046952
There is nothing confusing about that you retard. Why the fuck do you think I just explained it? They require absolutely no bailouts.

>>15046986
>WAVE OF DEATH!!!
Someone should tell that to half of Africa which hasn't done a thing.

>>15047011
It was cured last week, once the media told us it was safe why should we worry

>>15047011
Maybe you should grow a pair of balls and get the food yourself you fucking pussy. Do you think "hospitals reaching capacity" is some unprecedented thing? It happens in every bad flu season. The flu which magically disappeared globally. Your own cuck chart says COVID-19 positive which is irrespective of their actual condition or reason for admittance. The fraudulent tests which have a pct rate that guarantee a positive 90%+ of the time, are given to every patient. It's why actual COVID affected patients make up a fraction of hospitalizations

>>15047011
There’s a general that’s often up on /pol/, if you can stomach that board. There’s been something like 5,000 threads (they keep track). A lot of fuckery goes on in it, but it has great and up to date information. Just do your best to stay safe. I don’t suppose you have n95 masks? With personal protective equipment, you don’t need to rely on the assholes in the store being mask compliant, to avoid inhaling coronavirus. I have 5 that I use for especially risky encounters, after putting them in a container for 7 days (to let any virus die off). If you’re young, you’ll probably be fine, even if you do get it. I’ll be honest with you, given the totally uncontrolled exponential trajectory the country is on, your friends’ jobs, and the lack of mask compliance, you’ll probably get it.

>>15046795
>250 tHoUsAnd!!!

>>15047015
There won’t be enough of the vaccine to be widely given to the population until March or so. Plenty of time for this wave to kill.

>>15047036
Such a retarded pussy. Im glad you wear a mask so I can pick out the genocidal sheep

>>15047036
yeah I've got N95 masks because I get seasonal allergies and do woodworking so I've had a case of them in my garage for a few years. I have given some away and even gave my friend some so he has some. He works in a paint booth at a cabinet shop with 5 employees and works alone wearing PPE all day so I'm not super worried about him but his habits suck but I only know him because he takes part in risky behavior dealing. mostly I don't like supporting businesses who serve back to back customers with no masks on and do nothing at all about it. I've complained to a few places about it already. One place my roommate used to manage and I contacted the company owner and he didn't give a shit so I've just written that chain of gas stations off. Early on the grocery store wasn't requiring the coca cola vendors to require masks and it made my roommates uncomfortable so I called up the store manager on their behalf and then the state mask order came out a few days later so it was a bit of a non-issue.

>>15047026
Disregard this retard. There isn’t some worldwide conspiracy, where every country suddenly learned to work together and float a common lie to there population. This is real, as many are about to find out the hard way.

>>15046419
>it really was a matter of making decisions that only seem wrong in hindsight

I knew they were massively fucking retarded back in March.

>>15047052
I do fit test mine, buddy. I spray the air with ammonia, then walk through it. If I don’t smell it, I’m good. With regular masks, you’re missing the point. The purpose isn’t to protect the user, it’s to reduce the water droplets (which contain the virus that he/she breathes into the atmosphere. If everybody does that, less virus is in the air, and we are collectively safer.

>>15047060
Kill yourself

>>15047075
You’re a fucking idiot. Take a long walk off a short pier.

>>15047062
No one cares that some fat old people are dying, literally no one we only care about cheeseburgers

>>15047073
>I fit test mine
Cool. That doesn't disprove the science that they don't work you fucking retard

>>15047080
How about you just shoot yourself you retard? That sounds far more efficient

>>15047082
There’s also a far higher risk to people with asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. That’s half the population.

>>15047062
>EVERYONE PLEASE JUST DIE!!!
It must be breaking your heart that the IFR continues to plummet as "cases" rise and the flu mysteriously disappears.

>>15047014
Africa is in a constant death wave of course this doesn’t register there

>>15046802

Those have been gone for probably twenty fucking years. I worked at an Arby's 2012-2014 and it was pretty much daily that I would get boomers frothing at the mouth by saying we didn't do that deal. I asked my GM when was that phased out and he said it was pre-9/11.

>>15047095
>the heckin plaguerino is so deadly it doesn't even cause excess death!!

>>15047085
>>15047088
>>15047091
I’ve spent enough time arguing with fools like you on /pol/. It never bares any fruit, because your lot isn’t rational or reasonable about this—you desperately hold tight to copes and fabrications, because you can’t accept life’s gotten a lot less safe. It’s a way to protect yourselves, psychologically. To all the other anons in this thread, know it’s about to get a lot harder than it’s been before. Sorry guys.

>another taco bell thread
Why are so many anons here obsessed with this garbage?

>>15047110
Please have sex you fucking mongoloid. Intentionally reading data like a retard to support your conspiracy theory doesn’t fly here like it does on /pol/

>>15047113
>WAAAAAAAH IM A FAT RETARD WAAAAAAAAHH

Hope you kill yourself before the Chinese cough gets ya!

>>15047117
Put a bullet through your head. Through the temple. Otherwise the jap sniffles will snuff ya out!!

>>15047100
So you have been fuming mad for 10 years because some old people asked you a question? Lmao at millenial snowflakes with ptsd from flipping burgers and talking to people

>>15047117
>reading the data like a retard
Lol these fucking subhumans cant even explain whats wrong. What is being read wrong? Sweden had fewer elderly deaths for 3 years heading into 2020 which explains a higher death rate. The opposite for New Zealand. Its called a dry tinder effect, faggot

>>15046830
The price went up you fucking idiot

>>15047141
>So you have been fuming mad for 10 years

Fucking what? They were the upset ones. I was just annoyed the three hundredth time it happened.

>>15046295
And yet virtually every country did the exact same thing we did in terms of a lockdown.

>>15046287
Keynes once wrote about sticky wages. Keynes was a faggot, but after economic effects happen, it takes time for them to propagate out through the system. The fast food industries saw us print trillions of dollars wrapped in some federal reserve voodoo bullshit, and reacted accordingly. My employer of course will not raises prices or wages by 100% to make up for it, not anytime soon. We're fucked.
