It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

We've added a 10% service fee to obfuscate the fact that we're charging you more until you're already at checkout and invested in your order.

Slimy AF, making it sound like the problem here is those pesky workers and their “standard of living” instead of the owners being greedy/incompetent.

We raised our prices 10% across the board but are obfuscating that fact by hiding the price increase from the menu.

Next, ask a worker off-hours if they're being paid enough

Clearly not, as the greedy consumers refuse to buy several bags of potato chips so the struggling mom and pop small business (Subway) can afford to pay their hourly wages and provide benefits.

i just saw a video that some group with "capital" in the name owns Subway, Dunkin, Baskin Robbins and shitload of other shit. So yea, private equity groups ruining more shit like usual. (though Subway was already ruined years ago)

This shit should be illegal. Change the sticker price.

This will help us keep up with the rising cost of our ~~greed~~ businessporky-happy

so have happens if you order pickup from the website? Does the clerk demand the extra 10% or does the website already charge more in the first place?
