Yes, and I blame my wife for it.

It's even worse when it's a mixed race couple!

Sorry, my hemorrhoids are acting up again

They're just people doing a job that their boss made needlessly annoying. They shouldn't need to open a vault to get a couple hundred bucks.

Don't punish the workers, punish the boss

"I buy from companies who most closely match my ethics" is virtue signaling, now?

We live in a capitalist society, and voting with our wallet is the only vote we get. Not everyone can afford to vote, but why wouldn't you if you could?

If this is virtue signaling, it's the most subtle milquetoast virtue signaling ever.

Only in the sense that people eat it more than you'd typically eat cake - id agree with that.

But I don't really see why it's bad inherently

I didn't realize Europe had ethical issues with boring cake. If I could roll my eyes any harder at your disingenuousness, they'd pop out of my head.

No, go back to your foie gras, the absolute paragons of virtue that you are. We will just have to satisfy ourselves with bread that is occasionally shelf stabilized, like the absolute monsters that makes us.

Right. Literally like I said earlier - it's just a boring cake.

I didn't realize that Europe considered cake to be such a terrible thing

Iirc banks already don't typically have a lot of cash on hand, if you're looking to get a bunch of cash you need to give them warning so they can bring it in special order.

But I admit I'm no expert so I may have been mislead

Like what?

I'll grant you they're not artisanal breads with handpicked ingredients - but not all brands load up on nasty preservatives, and people make white bread themselves, too.

And all those regional European delicacies are a disgrace to cooking. I love food, but those pickled-shrew-taint type things are disgusting.

I was commenting on the hypocrisy of you calling what is just a plain soft sweet bread disgusting, while all these European countries get a pass on their regional abominations of food culture.

I know that plain white bread is not great, but it's basically just a really boring cake. The ire is unreasonable.

Y'all are like

Yum! This fermented sheep asshole and rotten cabbage is true food culture!

But you react to soft sweet bread like a vampire in a 60s horror flick reacts to holy water
