VAIL SUCKS

[raisingarizona]

i like the taste, the ritual, the feeling it causes. but when you smoke daily for 20+ years, you aren't a giggling stumbling red-eyed caricature from a 50s propaganda film.

my intake probably increased some in the past year due to the intersection of work from home + quitting cigarettes, but I've smoked about an ounce a month since college.

i get high, it's just not inebriating in a way that effects my ability to make decisions or be physically dextrous.

Having high quality and very loved, organically grown weed is key to not being a giggling, stumbling red eyed caricature from a 50’s propaganda film as well. The kind of stuff that gets you lifted but does it gently and keeps you clear headed.

Have you ever seen how many people love McDonalds? So much that in many small, rural areas that the cool and funky locally owned restaurants can’t get enough business to ever make it.

People love McDonalds? No, I don't know about it. But if they truly do, I don't see anything wrong with that.

"Cool and funky restaurants", if there's not enough people "love" it, they wouldn't succeed with or without a McDonald nearby. Without McDonalds, you'll just have "locally own" fast food joint instead of "cool and funky" restaurants. Is it better for the consumers to have dried fried chicken instead of burned burger?

I've lived in areas where Mcdonalds and other chains co exist with local restaurants my whole life. A better comparison to what Vail is trying to do would be what Wal Mart did and Amazon is currently doing to the retail shopping industry. Don't really see many small independent grocery stores any more, at least where i've been. Not to mention all the other brick and motor stores that have closed or suffered as a result of amazon.

Not to disagree but my small town of under 5k we do have a Indy grocery store that is always busy. Next town over has a large chain and 20 minutes away there are multiple.

lol that was my thought exactly. I waited 15 minutes in the drive thru at 11pm at night last Saturday for a quick bite at McD's. Fast food is making a killing. If they can keep things staffed I see no reason the trend wouldn't continue.

Hey, I ain’t gonna lie, I sometimes McLove that shit!

The drive thru lines since Covid have been absurd.

Huh? This doesn’t make much sense to me

Organic has no effect whatsoever.

I guess I was get at the overall effects or the experience with that but whatever

 

[snoseek]

I just assume smoking stuff that someone grew with love and natural hippy organic stuff and trimmed and cured with love and adoration. Not sure if organic matters but collectively all the best nugs I've got were from some dude geeking out in his backyard. What a time to be alive!

As far as hitting the actual 15 minimum nh was out of that so while they plan on increasing it's probably not enough to find line level employees. Honestly hope I'm wrong.

My dish guys are making more...we are hiring line cooks at a rate with minimal experience that I honestly never thought I would see in the next decade or even 2.literally everyone I work with is making substantially more money in the last year and we still cant fill positions. This is where the hospitality industry is at and it's what they're going up against. Good luck Vail lol

People love McDonalds?

I love McDonalds about 3 or 4 times per year.

My 95 year old father loves McDonald's. He ate there most every day for the last 30 years until he very recently stopped driving. He still requests it every time I visit. McDonald's, the key to longevity

A McDouble for $2.50....I'm good for one or two of those a month. Splurge on the quarter pounder with cheese maybe 5 times a year.

Something something moderation, right? Doc says its ok when it comes to beer, why not fast food?

 

[raisingarizona]

No one gets out alive! You might as well enjoy yourself a little.

that judgy thing kind of sucks anyways.

 

[mister moose]

I lean towards rotation of McD, BK and Wendys. It's not very often. The most common instance is if it's a hasty departure on a Friday night, followed by no dinner yet, and with other restaurants jamming on the Friday crowd, hello McD's and get back on the road. That happens about once a month, maybe two, and you know who looks forward to it the most?

The dog.

Loves them french fries. Tied only with the drive in teller milk bone treat.

McDonald's biggest mistake was losing the fried hand pies those things were like crack. Egg mcmuffin double toasted is the only thing I'll get these days and aside from the weird cheese on them they are pretty good. The coffee is as good if not better than dunks as well.
