Order with the app. If you use the app you get a discount.

I think it was Pizza Hut where I looked at the menu prices online, then drove there as they were so close, and was told, "Oh, those are the prices for ordering with the app. Since you didn't order with the app, here are the actual prices.

"I'm standing right here ordering a pizza and you're charging me more?"

"Sir, you should use the app next time." "You loving boomer."

$15 is the maximum price you personally can afford to pay - any more than that, you're better off going hungry or getting food elsewhere.

Don't get fooled by the weird phrasing, the question is just "Is it possible for a meal to be too pricey to be worth buying?"

No. I brought my own food.

You wouldn't be going to a restaurant in that case, you'd be microwaving instant ramen at home

Most times its contracted labor, unless they work for some company (session musicians, if that still exists, or like broadway musicians) maybe theyre treated as regular employees. But in my experiences ive seen artists pretty much only treated as indie labor.

Of course depending on who the musician is it could be handled via an LLC or s corp. Lot of freelancers do that kinda thing if its worth the effort

Yeah, I totally get it. I never incorporated bc when I was in California they had a humongo filing fee every year for LLCs/S-corps & it didn't seem worth it, but I had some regrets once those PPP "loans" rolled out in 2020 & I was no longer in CA.

For having to travel to auditions & such it's far better to be 1099 than W2.

a slant rhyme is a grizzled 70's country singer/songwriter rhyming "devil" and "shovel"

McDonalds is really the reigning champion here, where you can very easily pay double or even triple for an order if you just roll up and tell them what you want. It's like an extreme version of coupon cutting where the coupons are 75% off and you pay for them with your personal data.

They surgically extract your brain, replace it with a low paid worker's, and make them exercise your body for you while you play videogames. Worth every penny.

Not shrinkflation per se as it's a different brand, but I had a bitter laugh when opening the packet of toilet paper after getting home from the shops today (bog roll from the previous pack for reference). Notice that in addition to the 70% less TP there's also a good few extra millimetres of diameter on the tube. Truly innovative stuff.

yeah but a normal gym membership isn't something you have to spin as an "investment" to appeal to the kind of morons who only think in terms of monetary profit.

That's such a nonsense question when you think about how most businesses operate anyway.

"suppose you are willing to pay up to $1000 for landscape work. Your favorite contractor bids $1100. Do you maintain your business relationship with the contractor of known reputation or do you throw the dice and find someone else?"

The question’s got insidious vibes because it’s basically taking an axiom of economics and making it into something with a right/wrong answer, and furthermore making YOU the person who is right if you choose to behave in the way that the economic models assume humans behave.
