The Wall Street Journal put out a post on X about why the younger generation can't afford homes and immediately got dragged up and down the internet for it.
This brings me back to being a cashier and having to be the bad guy in this scenario. A coworker of mine got fired for “disposing” of rotisseries at a local food bank. I tried to carry on their legacy but the managers took it upon themselves to protect the needy from food poisoning and the company from liability by taking the days chicken to the dumpster themselves.
Exactly. I literally only buy them sometimes because I want a whole chicken for part of dinner for the family and I am not paying a few dollars extra for the privilege to do it myself.
I actually hate this. I want to buy a raw chicken and cook the different pieces in different ways. You know, get some orange chicken from the breast and teriyaki chicken from the thighs and turn the rest into soup or whatever. Why is my raw bird $1.50 more than this cooked one? Whatever. I’m not struggling I’ll get the raw one, which is weird to say.
The rotisserie chicken is a loss leader – cheaper than buying an uncooked chicken. It is literally one of the most cost-effective ways to eat
And yet still cannot be bought with food stamps.

Well that’s because they want to punish those who need them not actually assist them.
oh you’re too poor to afford food, must be lazy not vastly underpaid. Enjoy having to spend all your time working and then cooking
