Like come on, people are otraged about the most minor stuff, but somehoe can’t be bothered to boycot or change the situation with convenience pricig, where same stuff you buy at a store is 10-20x the price per unit.

“Youre taking advantage of my tiredness, making me pay more of my hard-earned money for the privilege of being too tired to prepare my own food/drinks myself, essentially making me work more hours for having worked too many hours and being tired as a resilt of it. So: making me more tired for being tired already”

    Time is money.

    It’s not like expensive convenience has a monopoly. If you don’t want to pay more, do it yourself.

      Exactly. I’m mostly amazed at how widespread it is, because damn that’s a lot of people paying inflated prices I never would.

        Even if every person prepared their own food and drinks 99% of the time we’d still have restaurants and coffee shops.

          Mostly with convenience pricing I’m thinking about things like how a convenience store can be next to a supermarket and charge you a 20% markup on the exact same item, and people pay because they can’t be bothered going into the grocery.

      Well, how do I calculate if the time-money I save on preparing food > price money ai give up for said food?
