It's fucking sugar water how expensive can it be to just give the hogs more sugar water while you're charging them $20 for borgar and fries
the margins on soft drinks are already insane this is clearly not a “we’re losing money” situation but definitely a “we need to nickel and dime even more”
The largest cost when serving a fountain soft drink (by an order of 2-3 times, minimum) is the cost of the cup/lid/straw.
Or at least that’s what it was a decade ago, can’t imagine it’s changed
I think it's more about keeping the "riff raff" away and taking out a part of the experience that is always grimy and unclean. But also they probably increase profit margins by more than few % from all the people who don't bother to walk up and bother an underpaid overworked cashier for more drink.
Oh for sure, I’m just making it clear that nobody is running their business off a cliff cuz the soda fountain overages, it’s a almost pure profit
Shit like this should be why no one trusts porky anymore. The pigs have everything and logically, they should be making good on their promise to trickle down?
Turns out pigs are like addicts for money, they have all the power and now they can steal as much money as they can. It’s ok though, at least the heckin’ wholesome property rights are being respected.
Just like "AI", gotta make sure the first capitalist to cross the trillionaire finish line is a "good" one, right? Sorry, workers: can't slow down even if we wanted to.
