I find waiting for things physically exhausting. Waiting in lines, waiting sitting in a room, waiting on friends to decide what they want to eat, walking really slowly with an elderly relative: I find it all physically exhausting even though very little physical energy is required.
waiting inline to buy food was a regime talking point against communism
i can’t go to any where any more without there being a line with worst offenders being grocery and believe it or not… fast food.
on topic of fasfood, when did it stop actually being fast… jfc, i can get faster service from a local deli.
It might be where you live. When I visited So Cal for example, I was amazed to see Starbucks and McDonald’s and gas stations with super long lines… doesn’t happen at all in other places I have lived. Maybe short lines at a coffee shop at very busy times of day.
Another aspect is that businesses, for capitalism reasons, have majorly skimped on employees in the last few years. They’re trying to get away with the least staff possible purely for profitability. It’s pretty vile… customers get worse service, employees get burnt out, and execs and owners just don’t care because they feel like people don’t have a choice. McDonald’s, for instance, operates with far fewer staff at once than they did 20-30 years ago.
tbf those lines are because the bottleneck point is the number of cashiers and/or the process of preparing the food, as opposed to the supply of food itself
i am aware… but how is that anymore excusable?
we also have food and housing technically too but we have one of the worst food access issues within OECD and if you count people living in cars, the highest homeless rate.
You’re asking how it’s more excusable to have an ample supply of food with slight waits for purchasing/preparation than not having enough food for everyone?
I am mocking the regime and their propaganda that has no logical consistency.
