I go to restaurant depot, and they don’t call the cops on you, you do need a membership though. I’ve been in food service as a chef/buyer for 25+ years, the prices have gone up drastically. The low price for chicken now, was 3x that a year ago. French fries used to be $17/cs. Overhead costs have skyrocketed too, my software costs have gone up 20%. Luckily I have t had to pass much cost on because my food cost has only gone up 3 points, but if your business sells chicken wings, fries and bar foods, those costs have gone way up from pre-pandemic.

I make my own pizza, buy some Violife, a dough, and some sauce, it’ll be like $9, and no tax or tip.

Chipotle, screw that place. Used to be like $6.85 for a bowl that could’ve been 2 meals. Went yesterday, it’s now $10 for sofritos, and the lady is counting the grains of rice, and not filling the guac that’s like $4. Baja’s still hooks me up.
I see it at a lot of other places, but I understand that most places are just passing on costs that their distributor give them, that the broker gives them, that the mega corporations give them.

Thought it was just me, $14 for 2 eggrolls, $23 for mac and cheese, $7 for fries, or $7 for mushrooms 🙄 That’s just greedy and pretentious.

I bet if you talk to Ja Patty they might make some for you, they do Jamaican patties, but maybe they’ll do a one-off.

I’d hate this, I’d be judging my neighbors that run their AC at 60, and turn the heat up in the winter 😂

Reply to comment by WrathWise in Why do we not have tolls yet? Are voters this shortsighted? by WrathWise
As an outsider to RI, it’s clear to see that many old school RI’ers are resistant to change, or are so scared because of corruption 30/40 years ago. My road is absolutely torn up, but the town has no money to pay for it, or so they say.

I’ve driven through many developing countries, but Chile(which is pretty well fully developed now) has toll roads, and they are great, even up into the Andes. Other ODEC countries with tolls have good and bad roads, France has private tolls, but nice roads with 130/140 KPH roads. Germany, no tolls, amazing roads, many unrestricted parts. Japan’s roads are great, but their public transit is also amazing. I think it comes down to priorities, greed, corruption levels, and driver care. If the driving public is kind, drives safely, no over weight trucks, and the government works for the ppl, you’ll get nice roads. RI and the USA in general are not the best drivers, the politicians don’t prioritize road safety, smoothness. We also don’t have much gas tax in RI compared to most countries, which lowers the amount in the pot.

NY and NJ disagree with this and tax heavily and toll heavily.

Reply to comment by tommygfunke in Question about abandoned kitchen equipment by Loveroffinerthings
My big question is, the machine has been here for at least 3, if not 4 years with me maintaining it. I know how ecolab works, it’s more of a question if they abandoned it or not. Some states say if you leave an item at a place and do not retrieve it, it becomes part of the place it was left.

I just threw it out there to see if anyone might have had the same thing happen. Leaving equipment in a business, then 3-4 years later saying “hey that’s mine” with no proof.

Lol you think that ecolab chemicals are any different from others? The health department disagrees with your stupid thoughts. You probably have 0 idea on food safety if you think that a chemical sanitizer in a specific solution is company specific.

You don’t believe that Trump rallied his mindless base to not let them certify the election results? It’s all on video, these people bragged about it, and are getting arrested.

For me it is always a late model Altima or Hyundai, at least a Merc or BMW is meant to be an autobahn cruiser, unlike the 2007 Hyundai Elantra.
