THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH COVID-19.

Any negative cuts in service or goods that have disappeared for no good reason.

List them!

I'll start: There's no Pot Roast and mashed potatoes at Denny's. It was tasty and cheap. Gone!

No more Stagg Country Brand canned chilli. Good and cheap. Gone!

Wet Ones in plastic tub. Gone!

Lysol Wipes in plastic tub. Gone!

For five years the government has said that inflation is near zilch so salaries have been essentially flat.

Yet it’s all a lie. There’s been stealth inflation on almost every “aspirational” good: the things people think they’ll someday be able to easily afford.

Decent steak has gone from $11.00 up to $23.00 a pound. Good looking shoes now cost a hundreds dollars a pair. A Mercedes C Class cost more than optioned E classes of a few years back (base model Ferraris go up $100,000+ with every introduction). “Healthy” breakfast cereal is now $8 for an ever smaller box. And the cost of middling red wine is driving me to drink.

I'm not referring to inflation! I'm talking about any lack of goods and services. We all know there's inflation, you shit! I'm not talking only about inflation, therefore I am not hijacking your fucking thread.

Where are all the plastic tubs?

I feel like food service in general has been on a decline since the pandemic. Restaurants are screwing up orders more frequently and not giving two shits. Some of these places deserve the chopping block. You would think restaurants would be thankful. Shitty products and services everywhere these days.

The postal service!

R7. Sometimes they are just hard to find on store shelves. It seems stores have stopped selling certain items like the Wet Ones. I think the Lysol Wipes just keep selling out and they cannot keep up with demand. Just small inconveniences.

Fucking Target has stopped shipping tons of items, including cleaners, sanitizing stuff...things you should be able to not leave your house to get. I used to buy a lot of stuff at Target but since they raised the free shipping to $35 purchases & stopped selling about 80% of what I used to order from them, I can’t come up with $35 worth of stuff to order from them. They want everyone to go to their stores. Not a good move during a pandemic.

Went to my regular Costco and found out they no longer offer the combo pizza and only have pepperoni or cheese. They also don't have the chicken Caesar salad at the booth. No Amy's organic frozen entrees either. No sushi, too.

What the fuck does this have to do with COVID?
