I went to CiCi's pizza tonight (its a pizza buffet) and noticed instead of the usual asking if you wanted drinks (coke machine) vs just water, they got rid of just water option and are forcing everyone to buy drinks instead.... they make the most margins on drinks because its just sugar water and its about an extra 2 bucks, so my total came out to be almost $11..... still good value, but when I was a kid it was free for children 6 and under, half price for children 12 and under, and for adults it was just $2.99...

Cici forcing the drinks on everyone (no water) means people are going to drink more since they paid for it, leaving less room in their stomach to pig out on the actual pizzas etc... plus again drinks are basically free profit margin for them compared to actual foods...

Then I noticed the plastic forks and spoons all got much smaller, especially the spoons were almost dwarf sized, making it hard to hold/use and when eating soup it becomes frustrating because obviously the intent of using tiny spoons was to not only cheap out on the disposable plastic usage of spoons but also to discourage people from eating as much when the utensils are undersized...

The selection of pizza was horrible, way too little on offer for the amount of folks in there and it reminded me of one of those situations where people are drawing straws or winning lottos... basically every time you got up to get more food you were hoping by the time you made it to your turn that there were still some left and basically all grabbed up by everyone else ahead of you and if you got unlucky you had to go back and sit down and wait the next round when they restocked the pizza lines...

Went back there tonight, there was literally no exaggeration a five year old little boy working there... this wasnt a "bring your kid to work" day because school doesnt start until 2 more weeks here and the kid was wearing the same cici shirt with logo just small sized for him and he was there collecting plates, throwing trash away and doing real work.... couldnt believe my eyes... when I was younger I remember you had to be at least 16 just to apply for grocery sacking jobs at Kroger etc.... I know Cici is franchise but still it boggles the mind Im now eating at a place that supports child labor

Jesus, fake traffic lights that kill people just so local policemen can get a few extra bucks.

No wonder US fake news can talk so much about fake stuff in China. In America, they already have examples of fake everything, so it's easy to find inspiration.

The most hilarious thing is that the ruling government themselves claim they're one of the least corrupt countries in the world. "its not corruption, its a government revenue making scheme"

The real reason why Pelosi went to Taiwan. She may have gotten a huge PR win and made China look bad but it also encourages parasites like her to act more boldly. Domestic rot grows day by day…we need actually need Revolution to not only save America but prevent WW3 from the reckless of the our Oligarchy.

So The Onion is now a proper news outlet in that they stated the PRC will punish the USA by letting her go back safely.
