1·10 days agoNo worries. Yeah, stores with that kind of pricing are the ones that I typically avoid.

2·10 days agoI’m not seeing the comparison here. There are grocery stores where you can get potatoes at a reasonable price, based on the costs involved in growing, shipping, and stocking said potatoes. No, I don’t grow my own potatoes, I shop at those stores. The grocery stores that charge more for potatoes are generally the “high end” grocery stores (in my area, Whole Foods, Raleys, Sprouts, etc) and are not doing convenience pricing which is what is being discussed.

93·11 days agoMe saying that Starbucks is not forcing anyone to do anything and saying you’re allowed to make your own decisions is… Victim blaming. Lmao.
You know that there are people starving in the streets right? And you’re freaking out because “I need my coffee 😩😩😩 I’ll die without it 😩😩😩” get a grip, please

The comment I replied to was apparently made by a coward.

No, you’re choosing to pay more. Make your own coffee at home. Or hell, don’t drink coffee. Nobody’s making you do that, either.
A slightly better example might be convenience stores in low-income areas where many people don’t have access to transportation to the more affordable grocery stores. The fact that you immediately jumped to Starbucks (something many people consider a treat of sorts) as something you’re forced to buy out of convenience shows how privileged you are to have this “problem”.
This comment (namely, the age of “the girls” and why there won’t be sleep for a while) is awfully ambiguous for someone that did not see your previous post, especially with the home brews. Lol.

Tesla drivers near me are way worse. They always have their high beams on, without fail.
