So people are eating out more than ever. The generation eating out more than any other are millennials. Apparently they aren't going to fast food chains, nor fast casual since Chipotle's stock went down nor evidently casual dining. So where are they going? Local restaurants owned by real people instead of conglomerates? Oh the humanity! We can't have the big corporations that boomers and Xers worked so hard to make rich disappear. Everything must remain the same. Forever.

I mean I know the article is meant to be circulated among middle ages and old people to bash millennials but how can anyone think a chain dying is a cause for sorrow if the industry keeps doing well.

Yes. The media considers it bad that millennial like going to nice local restaurants instead of bad chains because they cannot write an article about some local restaurant that most of their readership has never heard of, so they write from the angle of "casual chains" because everyone knows what they are

Eh, thats just people shifting from one fast casual to another because of bad press, millenials are dramatically more likely to pick fast casual over fast food compared to previous generations, and likewise more likely to pick local restaurants over national chains than older people. Old people fucking love terrible national chains for some reason

It's kind of a double sided coin man. It takes a lot of money to get an upstart restaurant up and running. Then you have to coin out for all your staff and bills.

Corps have shit food, like Buffalo WW...it's garbage. But they have the money for a crew of people to cook and serve you.

I think eventually the corps will start establishing and owning a lot of these local restaurants. Chefs may even be on their direct payroll. So you recruit chefs from culinary schools directly and when someone wants to open up a "franchise" you send a chef and a decorator there to set up an idyllic local gem. Once it's set up the corporation sends it's own staff and supply chain expert to source some local ingredients and national supply chains for common ingredients. There you have it, a restaurant that young people go to and brag about having the best X. A steady cheap supply chain. People paying high rates. No staff shortages, no strongarming by the landowner. Everyone's happy.

I have no idea how Olive Garden gets away with their prices. They charge as much as some lower-end michelin starred establishments for really crappy food. Either their business model is really inefficient (since the place is always packed too), or they are the richest fuckers on the planet.

I see what you meant now. That practice is fairly universal. Even at my college they had a deal with the food service that they could be the only food service on campus and everyone is required to have some kind of meal plan. I got the least expensive one and cooked as much as possible.

I loved those $15 bowls of cereal. I think I had 30 or so meals left by the end of the year out of 150.

Honestly it's a shitty situation but you're paying to go there and the college has all the money and the authority to kick you out. Who do you think is going to win that fight?

There has been one restaurant I've been to where I was blown away by the quality of the food. It stood out so obviously that I realized all the restaurants that I had considered to be "great" were really just average.

Granted this place was basically suite and tie dining and your bill would probably be three digits if you had a date but goddamn if it didn't deliver. Not a chain, obviously. I'm thinking about their steak right now...I need a moment.

Basically the only way such a claim would ever be cost-effective enough to look into, given the relatively high unlikelihood of success and also as the only avenue I can think of is through an antitrust claim. Idk if there's enough colleges using just Sysco for it to be viable, but if there was this could be massive. Only problem is who files it, it would have to be a class action, and since it would also be expensive as fuck and a long shot, it's not surprising the answer so far is no one. But thanks for the information anon that was very interesting, I'm going to look more into this.

Anyway your only point seems to be that shitty chains have the money to throw at putting up even more shitty chains while local small business restaurants are high-risk for their owners.
That's not actually really an argument for chains, they're still shit and not worth the money and even if they're more able to absorb losses they're failing overall compared to local competition.

It would depend on the school cafeteria. In the 3 universities I've attended each meal can cost on average about $10 in the meal plan, but if you get in you can choose a variety of entrees and eat as much as you can stuff yourself. Specifically for breakfast they would have eggs, bacon/sausage, fired potatoes, and fruits in addition to cereal, and of course, you can eat as much as you want.

Technically a bowl of cereal would cost $10 if you just get a bowl a cereal and voluntarily choose to get nothing else. However I do not know of any school shitty enough to charge $15 for just a bowl a cereal.

They're the largest company that distributes ingredients to restaurants. However, the issue is that they sell cheap ingredients, not the good stuff. It's no different than shopping at Wal-Mart instead of a farmer's market and a proper butcher.

A good restaurant will source their ingredients with a focus on quality. If a restaurant buys from sysco it's a clear indication that they care about convenience more than they care about quality.

I wish more places would just offer a few good dishes instead of dozens of mediocre things. Getting anything other than a sandwich or something deep-fried usually means you're getting something that's not very good.

I also kind of wish more places would offer a salad bar, but more than just lettuce/tomato/onion/cucumber/black olives/dressing like I've seen at some places. Offer more nuts and seeds, beans, cheeses, etc. Went to one place that had hummus on the salad bar, it was the best one I've ever seen. Closed down sadly.

Not sure about that. I see a lot of young white people at an Indian buffet that I frequent. Sometimes there are more white people than not. I think people who don't care about food that much will just get fast food, but the ones who do will want to go to better local places. Other than that, people only go to chain restaurants because they serve alcohol now.

Nobody ever told you to get a shitty degree, though. Schools are full of people wasting their time on degrees that don't do anything except signal that you can jump through bullshit hoops rather than for a specific career path.

Of course if you did go for a specific career path only to discover it wasn't possible, then I've got more sympathy. I've got friends who went to law school only to suddenly discover the law market was tanking in their second year and the jobs they were hoping for didn't exist.

No shit. They said "go to college and find something you're interested in" as if that would magically equate to money.

The thing is that the schools don't give a shit whether you get a job or not. They get paid either way.

The people responsible for this mess are parents, "guidance counselors", and the students themselves.

IMHO, if you're old enough to attend college then you're old enough to think about your plans and make an honest assessment whether or not the degree you're working towards will actually be beneficial or not. Of course, there can be external forces that affect this sometimes, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that spending tens of thousands to get a basic degree in art is most likely a very poor decision.

And let's not forget mandatory tips!

Sure is great having an extra, hidden, minimum-15% fee on top of the overpriced, processed, reheated food I order any time I eat out.

But, you know, gotta keep paying those servers less than minimum wage!

Worst part is - Servers here in Canada are paid over minimum wage, and tipping is still mandatory. And then nearly all of them have the fucking sour balls to complain that they don't get tipped ENOUGH.

Motherfucker I'm a minimum-wage entry-level personal shopper at a grocery store. I run around this crowded-as-fuck place putting together over-$300 grocery orders under tight deadlines with exacting standards, and plenty of little flavour notes and last-minute additions from customers just to fuck with me (e.g. I only want green bananas 5-7" long. No scuffs or dents in the standard grocery-store-quality tomatoes please. Only FIRM grapes. Hi I'm here for my order either an hour early or right at the very last minute of the night, 5 hours late! Can I also get 5 oranges, a 4L milk, 750ml organic coconut yogurt, a loaf of bread, and 200g of thin-sliced deli bologna? Oh, an extra 10-to-20-minute wait? That's okay, I don't mind, and I'm sure all these people arriving right after me won't mind waiting an extra 10-20 minutes for me too, before they can get their groceries. I'm sure they won't start berating you, insulting you, and putting you on the spot once you finally get to them.). I also answer the constantly-ringing phone that signals when customers arrive (about every 1-20 minutes, or nothing for the whole time slot then 9 customers all show up at once), I take down all their information and their FJKASDFJLKJAKLSDFJ last-minute additions (orders must be placed 5 hours in advance so that we have time to pick it while loading up arriving customers, so this shit fucks us up but we literally can't say no)

Frothing retail rant(1/2)...

The froth continues (2/2)...

I then run out and pick those last-minute additions, because according to upper management, we literally can't say no to anyone for anything (Seriously. Even if deadlines are coming down to the wire, I still have to accompany the random, 98-year-old, English-as-a-second-language, dementia-ridden customer in the aisles who stops me and wants me to wander around with her at a snail's pace showing her where all the items on her grocery list are, and then doing it again because she forgot halfway through. Please don't ask me for a blowjob. I think I might actually have to do it as part of our personal shopping service.), then I process the transaction, bag it all (we rarely have time to bag in advance anymore), load it all onto a cart, and then bring it out to the parking lot and load it into your car (even all the 60-lb bags of rice and water-softener-salt). I've stopped showering before work. By the end of the night, I'm so sweaty my clothes need to be washed.

And I have to actually refuse tips, or upper management will fucking hand me my ass in a to-go bag and start reconsidering my employment there. If this economy / job market weren't so shit I wouldn't mind, but damn.

So fuck servers. Oh, you carried a plate of food to my table without dropping it, and pulled yourself away from your riveting conversation with your coworker for 1 second to give my table the moment of attention required to ask if we want our drinks topped off? And you have to do that for a whopping FIVE tables at once!? Damn girl. That's hard. That's rough. Forget a tip, you should get danger pay. Yeah, fuck that guy who only tipped 10%, you should tell us all that harrowing story again, and how you even went out of your way to be a fucking cock to him because of it.

I hope a restaurant/"casual dining" revolution comes soon.

I didn't say that people should automatically choose the best possible paying career.

My point was that they need to ask themselves deep down: "can I actually make a living at this". I'm all in favor of chasing your dreams, but many people don't understand just how risky a situation it is to blow a ton of money on a degree that has only a very very tiny chance of even getting you a job at all.

A person who really loves art and who wants to work in the art business as a career would be much better served by getting their foot in the door via working for an art dealer, gallery, auction house, or even an art supply store while taking a more useful degree, perhaps in business management, accounting, etc. The adage "it's not what you know but who you know" is even more important in a niche field like that.

Didn't pay attention to the rest of your conversation/argument, but THIS.

I fucking love acting. Theatre is fun as hell and I love getting into character and putting on accents and voices and postures to convey a fictional character to people in the most believable way possible. I took theatre through most of high school and a little into University.

But I had to stop. Why? Because live theatre won't put a roof over my head or dinner on my plate every night. At best I have a 0.001% chance to get noticed in Hollywood or become a huge Youtube celebrity, enough to make good money. I stopped paying for theatre courses and started getting into education (being a teacher is actually viable in Canada since we have a decent education budget). I just got accepted into the faculty of Ed, whereas I would still be getting my headshots taken, updating my portfolio, and wandering from film school to film school, trying to catch minor productions, and hope to shove my portfolio through the door for the one-second chance that the casting director will notice me.

I still love acting, I always will. Maybe once I get settled into my career I'll look into local theatre productions and do some of that in my off-time. But unfortunately, you can't always follow your passions to a cozy life. Eventually you have to realize that passions are great, but as an independent adult, you need a fucking job to survive.

There are still plenty of human workers in those plants, doing QC, feeding parts to the robots, etc. Not to mention the massive amount of staff involved in testing and R&D in the auto industry. Even the tiniest little things have an army of people working on them.

A company I used to work for designed and sold machinery that was used to test the scratch and wear resistance of interior plastic panels used in cars. Our company had a couple dozen employees, and our machines were at all of the major auto makers, each of which had and army of scientists and techs using the machines. I know a guy in the industry whose entire job is to supervise testing of electrical connectors. They have teams which test their electrical insulation properties, another which tests their ability to resist water spray. Another does chemical resistance. Another studies their ability to withstand heat. Another does UV light stability testing, and so on.

It might not be obvious, but the auto industry employs a staggering number of people despite the assembly line itself being largely automated.

I've been applying to different things constantly, including service. If I could get in anywhere easier than my position, I would, especially considering how it's minimum wage with no room to move up. I would lose nothing by changing jobs, but for now it's a paycheck until something better comes up.

No, that specific discussion doesn't prove that. But there hasn't been a net job loss, which is easy to see in the shareholder data released by the large automakers. Specific jobs were lost. More jobs were added in other areas.

I was pointing out where those workers were.

And this is completely disregarding the jobs created at the companies which supply and maintain the automation equipment.

Because it's low grade fast food pretending it is medium grade actual dining, and generally people either stop falling for it/get sick of it, or they wont have the price hikes that places like BWW are doing.

It seems it's monumentally harder to do a chain that isn't fast food and make it work.
Skyline Chili strikes me as a casual dining place that actually works, and it's probably because it's local to the Cincinatti area, is only like a hundred or so places, and to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong), not reheating Sysco junk.

Sure it does. It fucking *has* to.

If you're a rich mofo then what do you do with your money? If you spend it on expensive luxuries then the money goes to the companies who produce said luxuries. It gets paid out to parts suppliers, building rent, insurance, marketing firms, salaries of workers. It even trickles down to the poor people that Expensive McMemebrand pays to clean their toilets, wash windows, mow the lawn outside their fancy corporate headquarters, etc. If the rich mofo instead puts his money in the bank then the bank lends out that money (actually, 10 times as much money given the fractional reserve system in the US) to people who are buying houses, cars, equipment for their business, or using a credit card.

Where do you think this money goes if it doesn't trickle down? Does it magically vanish?

>this is why your grandpa could afford a house, a car and a family straight out of school at 18 and you can barely afford to pay rent at 28
My grandpa had a job at Shell Oil. He had to live with his parents for years while he and my Grandmother saved up money to buy a house. they did, but they had to pinch pennies like mad. Grandma was a master at shopping cheap and stretching what food they could afford to feed the family. She couldn't afford to buy clothes so she had to make them herself. Same for house furnishings like curtains. When my father (and his siblings) was old enough to work he was expected to pay my grandparents rent for his room and board. In fact, between bus/train fare and paying my grandparents for room/board he had very little money.

That generation could afford a house (and eventually a car) because they budgeted carefully. They had very little money left over once you took away the house payment, food, and utilities.

The people I see bitching about "why don't I have enough money" today are that way because they are idiots and spend it on luxuries. They go out to eat (even if it's just fast food) every day. They have a fancy big TV, video game systems, trendy clothes. They happily pay a $100/month or more subscription for their phone toy. Ditto for a fancy cable package so they can watch sports. They certainly could afford a home and a car--they just needed to do what my grandparents did: cut out the luxuries, cook for yourself instead of paying much more money to eat out, save, learn to repair things rather than throw-away-and-replace all the time, and so on.

>>They are literally hoarding it right now and doing nothing with it

So it's just sitting in a big pile in their home somewhere? Because if they have it in the bank, securities, stocks/bonds, etc, then that's the very definition of trickle down.

That article describes the money being invested in banks. Banks loan out their money--that's how they stay in business and make a profit.

Thus, the money trickles down via the loans given out by said banks.

Suppose some company wants to do a major project, like constructing a massive building, amusement park, shopping mall, etc. They go to one of those banks for a bigass loan. That money then gets paid out to the workers who are constructing said building, the truckers who deliver materials to the building site, the guys operating the heavy machinery, the wageslaves who operate the concrete plant, the guys who are selling tools, materials, and food to all the workers....

Even if that were true and these banks weren't making money via commission for being tax havens (which is actually how they make their money) it still cuts off a massive portion of the trickle you're referring to by evading taxes. No money goes to whatever government is due, which means that government then has less money to work with which can lead to budget cuts, which means government employees lose their jobs.

Sounds like it was dumb decision to take out that college loan then. Your grandpa didn't take out some silly loan, he went to work.

That's not "the man keeping people down", it's people making dumb decisions and having to deal with the consequences of those decisions.

It increases the trickle to normal people because the money goes directly to the people instead of to the government.

That's a good thing. The government is constantly growing like some kind of mutant monster, and it does a very poor job of spending money. Wasteful government spending is completely out of control. Anything which forces the government to cut back and spend LESS is a great thing.

>>9045791
No, the money is still there, it's just spent on different things. On one side the gov might take it and spend it buying more tanks that even the Army says it doesn't want or need. On the other side, if that money never went to taxes then the people would spend that same money on other things. The difference is that the latter spends the money on what people actually want, rather than what the government thinks they want (usually because of some shady deal--"vote for me and I'll make sure that companies in your state get this big fat military contract")

Of course it is. Those rich bankers spend their money on all sorts of things. That is literally trickling down.

Richy McJewBanker buys another Rolex to add to his collection? Money trickles down to the jewelry store--the employees, their suppliers, the restaurants the employees eat at, the dude they pay to keep the shop clean, the guys working for Rolex who actually built the watch, the people that supply Rolex with parts, etc.

Not only was college significantly cheaper, but it was far easier to get into, and people technically made more money doing jobs that would now put you on the poverty line.
Loans have become necessary due to the man keeping people down.
Think about it. If there was a way to guarantee that just about every adult who couldn't pay their own way (really get their parents to pay) to owe you money as soon as they become an adult, wouldn't you buy into that system?

Exactly. Which is why choosing to take out a bigass loan for college is often times a very poor decision.

The number of people attending college has gotten far too high. Earlier in the thread people talked about "your grandparent's generation". Back then, the overwhelming majority of people simply didn't go to college. They didn't have that expense.

People can do exactly what "our grandparents did" today. They can simply choose not to buy things they can't afford (college included) and eliminate unnecessary luxuries from their budget. Instead of eating fast food every day, pack a lunch. Prioritize your work over leisure activities, etc.

I never made that claim. I agree that sending millions overseas is a bad thing. I was making an unrelated claim that giving money to the federal government is also a bad thing.

>>to pay for roads, schools, and police
Except for specific interstate highways and very specific law enforcement (Customs, FBI) those are all funded by LOCAL taxes, not federal.

The cops that help you if you've been a victim of a crime? Local (i.e. sales) tax. Schools? Local property tax. Fire department? Same thing. The overwhelming majority of roads? State and local.

I'm also glad you mentioned schools. That's a great example of why we shouldn't keep funneling more money to the government. The US nears the top of the list when it comes to spending per-capita of students in school. OTOH we're much lower down the list when it comes to the quality of education the students get. Fucking Russia manages to spend only 1/4 what the US spends per student on primary school, yet they kick the shit out of US students when it comes to the quality of that education. The sad fact is that the US education system is poorly run. It's very well funded, yet performs poorly. This is true of most things under the Government. The reason is that unlike private industry, the government has nobody to answer to and no competition. The lack of competition means there is no incentive to do better--or even to do a good job in the first place. This problem does not exist in Private industry because if they do a poor job then their customers will simply go elsewhere.

Earth. You're already here, anon.

Failed companies go out of business all the time--especially restaurants. OTOH, those which do a good job survive and grow.

If you went to a business (of any kind) and you were disappointed with the product or service would you go back there and give them more of your money? Of course not (assuming you have a choice). You'd go somewhere else next time. That results in constant pressure on private business to succeed, and it doesn't exist in the Government.

Get some experience working with the government and this becomes painfully obvious. A company I used to work for once sold a piece of analytical equipment to a US Army lab. We had to bust ass to get it done by the delivery date on the contract. Even one day late would have meant automatic cancellation of said contract. We delivered on time & everything worked perfectly. Want to know how long it took us to get paid? *nineteen months*.

My wife used to work for the US Embassy in Germany. Her boss once told her: "You're processing too many passport applications per day. " She replied: "It's no problem sir, I have plenty of time and they don't take very long to do". His response? "I want you to slow down. People might get the wrong idea. Just do three a day; leave the rest for later".

I can go on and on....

FUN FACT:

In modern day 'Merica, so many Black kids kept failing basic high school English, that they eventually decided to make "Ebonics" an official language just so they can get rid of all the 5th and 6th year niggers.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On December 18, 1996, the Oakland Unified School District school board of Oakland, California, United States, passed a controversial resolution recognizing the legitimacy of Ebonics — what mainstream linguists more commonly term African American Vernacular English (AAVE) — as an African language. The resolution set off a firestorm of media criticism and ignited a national debate.

they're allowed to choose whatever product or service they want to sell, and you're given the choice of whether you want to buy it.

I'm not saying it's a good thing, but they certainly don't have an obligation to appeal you. It isn't unethical either.

I agree that students should be treated better, but it isn't an obligation and there aren't any "rights" in this area. There's not really anything you can do besides take your business somewhere that has what you want.

I think having governments regulate something like that might be your only hope changing it. Maybe threatening to cut on subsidies would force them to either up their costs/prices and lose business or just go along with the change.
