I think its going to get even worse. The prices are are all over the place these days for the same item. I have 3 Indian restaurants fairly close to me. The same entree can range from 8.99 up to 17.99. The one closests to my house is in a very large expensive building, so they're charging 17.99..Way to much, so I guess I'll have to drive further out.
shareI EAT TACO BELL...LIKE SIX NIGHTS A WEEK...THAT SUCKS THOUGH.
shareNo you don't. You wouldn't let your daughter eat that junk food. I mean once every 2 weeks yes, or once a week if they bring back the Enchirito.
shareMY DAUGHTER HAS TACOS ON TUESDAY AND CHINESE ON FRIDAY,OTHER THAN THAT SHE EATS LIKE A NORMAL CHILD....I ON THE OTHER HAND...EAT TACO BELL,SIX TIMES A WEEK...I REALLY LIKE NACHOS.🙂
shareI live in a no taco town. Not one single taco . Only McDonalds. Imagine that.
shareNot surprising! With less people dining, they have to earn enough money to make a living somehow. Words cannot express how much I HATE this pandemic and want it to be over.
shareI really miss my job. Are school class sizes are around 15 kids, so no need for extra help..Of course this means 15 kids are sitting at home watching tv, learning nothing. Should make for an interesting future.
shareWell they're going online learning (my current job right now). But you're completely right, it's not the same and it sucks. Nothing will ever replace face-to-face in person learning.
Online learning is only taking place because educators need to earn a living somehow and having kids go a full year with NO schooling is unthinkable.
It won't work here, low income spanish speakers. I teach phonics and beginning reading to k-2. These kids don't have a laptop or the parents who give a crap.
shareI work with a young man who has a severe intellectual disability. He's very functional, if a bit undersized.
The irony is, were he in school, I wouldn't be getting as many hours as I have been. And being in school is more stressful for him, although he may benefit from that challenge, hard to say.
But for me personally, I've really been invigorated by attending his virtual school and trying to educate him with his homework, finding the right balance of pushing him a little and not just giving him the right answers or watching all sorts of deflating and behavior-creating tries at things he has terrible difficulty with.
My own life is much more lively by having to wrestle with his education, limited as it is.
And I wouldn't have this without him Not being in school.
Doesn't make me happy about the big picture but I'm gratified I've been able to work hard to help this kid as best I can.
This evening's reporting is that this wave is already worse than the first and stores are again putting limits on how much toilet paper one can buy. I thought we were supposed to learn from experience.
shareI guess I'm not surprised. Honestly, I don't know how some of these businesses are surviving. And yes, I know a lot of small businesses have closed because of Covid. These are tough times for all of us, and we all hate it, too. Right?
shareI just placed my order for some supplies and will pick them up in the morning. I think I will run to Kroger or Aldi first thing Monday morning and get everything I need for Thanksgiving. It's just going to be my husband and myself this year, but I still want to have a nice traditional dinner.
shareI'm back to early morning shopping myself. My local grocery store opens at 6 AM and going then means there's almost no one else in the store except employees. I haven't resorted to curb-side pickup yet, but I may do that soon.
shareI've consistently used online shopping since March, but I have been going inside about every 10 days - I think some things - like meat and produce are hard to buy online.
I feel the same way. It depends on what I need as to whether I order online or shop myself. I feel the early morning hours are the safest time to go. I'm like you - I shop about every two weeks.
shareI'm assuming you are American or Canadian or somewhere that is still in lockdown. You think they would be charging less due to less customers?
shareWhat else is there here..We had one russian he's gone, one netherlands, she rarely shows up.
shareI'm sorry a little confused, are we still talking restaurant prices?
shareYes. I'm American does that help.
shareAh ok I get it now. We have some Australians and Canadian's as well.
shareWould you like a drink.....I know you're not new to the site...Its Ausi, Americans, and Canadians, everyone else is just fodder. Are you just f...king with me?
shareI thought we were conversing?
shareWell when you say we have some canadians I'm confused...They started this site.. they are this site...You act like you dont know whats going on, I thought you were old school.
shareI have no idea who started this site. I recall a CoVid related post a couple of months back and the OP didn't state where they were so it was confusing to try and get a background on what they were referring to without that.
Same if I were to say we are out of lockdown down here with 14 days in a row with no cases. Unless you already knew I was from Australia, you would have no idea of my location.
No I just don't want to pay 17 $ for lamb vindaloo, even though I know the restaurant is struggling. :)
shareI don't blame you, I wouldn't pay that either. What I hate is the Indian restaurants that charge extra for rice! I guess I just figure things like rice should come with the main dish. I feel the same about other places that charge extra for fries etc with meals like steak.
