Im still pretty young and I remember eating like a king with literal pocket change at diners and fast food restaurants less than a decade ago. Did everyone forget the McDonald's Dollar Menu? Why is it so hard for olds to admit shit's gotten expensive?

@BorjomiDrinker Less than a decade ago, the dollar menu was... a dollar. So no, you don't remember eating like a king with literal pocket change, that's a very stupid thing to say.

@ThreadbareModel @BorjomiDrinker 4 quarters isnt pocket change?

@SamuriDotCom @BorjomiDrinker Do you think a single dollar menu item is "eating like a king"?

@ThreadbareModel @BorjomiDrinker Okay so hear me out. A single hour of min wage work would get you $7.25. That means you can buy, stay with me now, SEVEN one dollar items. Would you say eating 7 McChickens isnt eating like a king?

@SamuriDotCom @BorjomiDrinker Okay so hear me out. Did the original question say "pocket change" or "a single hour of min wage work"?

@ThreadbareModel @BorjomiDrinker You didnt answer my question of four quarters not being pocket change. Also in that time toll booths were paid via change, so it made sense for people to keep a good bit of change in their cars. Ergo, pocket change

@SamuriDotCom @BorjomiDrinker > Also in that time toll booths were paid via change Are you actually mentally incompetent? No toll booths were not primarily paid via change "less than ten years ago".

@ThreadbareModel @BorjomiDrinker I remember my parents paying the toll booths with change twice a month on our way to Quaker Steak and Lube. And Quaker Steak filed for bankruptcy, oops 11 years ago. Still damn near 10 years, no?
