A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Can we go for upcharges on food items for modifying them next? If you are going to charge me $0.30 for adding tomatoes to a sandwich, you better damn well reduce the price by $0.30 when I remove tomatoes from a sandwich.

This is getting so out of hand in the USA.

Oh that's one of my gripes. My son likes to get an egg mcmuffin with no meat, extra cheese. You'd think the slice of meat and cheese would cancel each other out. And I think they are up to charging $1 for a slice of american cheese. And its been this way for over 15 years.

It's not just the US. The race for the biggest profit has hit its limits on the best value front. Now it's pretty much all on deception and enshittification.
