I know I have issues. Sometimes they get the better of me. I knew that when I moved to the heart of Geeksville, USA that I would be dealing with a significant cost of living increase. And here’s where the hypocrisy kicks in…
Sure I’ll pay a 100% markup on rent and won’t bitch about it; gas and groceries are a good 30% more expensive but whatareyagonnado?
But a 500% markup on ramen?!?! WTF?!! Okay work with me here:
In my old, blue collar town grocery store, dried up ol’ nasty poorboy ramen runs 10 for $1 (as it should be!). 8 for $1 when they’re feeling stingy. Today at the “cheap” grocery store in mid-Google Town, they raised the price on ramen noodles from a ridiculously priced 5 for $1 to, get this, TWO for a dollar? That’s 50 cents a piece?!?! That’s ludicrous!!!
I know that doesn’t sound like a lot in a town where people drive Audi A8s and Teslas as daily drivers, but still, give a guy a break wouldja?.
