this woman is spending $66k/year on daycare for her 4 kids WHY DON’T PEOPLE JUST GET A NANNY

hey so the next time we’re at parties where a full-time employed c!s white person says “our joy is resistance” or whatever can the rest of us agree to blurt out “your white joy is apathy though” in response?

It’s always funny to see people who complain endlessly about ills of blue city governance pack up and move to Austin of all places

Crab Rangoon may be the perfect food

So many of you insisted to me that Mamdani would bring dysfunctional government, “communism,” higher crime, decarceration, capital flight, stores shutting down… Will any of you learn a single thing from being completely wrong and kind of nasty about it? No. You won’t.

This is extremely old news, and they have their dates incorrect. This initiative seems to recirculate every 8 months when the news cycle is slow. We announced this initiative around 2020. Hundreds if not thousands of locations have already had their lobby drink stations removed, and it’s not a big deal. We announced this about 15 years prior to the target date. All new McDonald’s built in the last 3 years have this “new” setup. All remodels have had the option for the same setup over the past 4 years. No rationale was given. This isn’t a cost move, as it will cost me $30k to make the change (and I still offer free refills). I can speculate that with digital orders now making up a much bigger part of our business (+30%), it’s much easier to have the fountain behind the counter to fulfill digital and delivery orders. They announced this change around 2020, and it’s been a pull, not a push. I feel they are simply preparing their setup for what they think our business will need in 2036. At first I was very apprehensive when it was originally announced (and reported on 5 years ago), but now it completely makes sense with customer flow. We handle hundreds of delivery orders a day. Having to fill drinks in the lobby or interrupt the drive-thru “robot” is neither fast nor efficient.

JUST IN: McDonald’s to eliminate self-serve soda stations nationwide by 2032, citing “changing consumer habits”
