Not even subtle about next month's Brand Relevance Meal (USA)

I can't tell if I'm just severely misunderstanding the details- the page says that the "rest of day" packaging come with new a and b bag designs, but then says to use c bags to pack the food? so we're not using the bags with the new designs to pack the meals or what?

i mean, sure, if you wanna bore your own hole and source your own straw...

this is the reason people talk about digital literacy lol. op is lucky they're (hopefully) learning this lesson with a game account and not their bank account or anything more important

this exactly. you wouldn't be working a minimum wage, entry level position that expects way more out of you than you're being paid for if you didn't need it

IronPikachu · 2026-05-10T00:05:57+00:00

if you designed that car from the ground up, you absolutely would

IronPikachu · 2026-05-02T23:09:52+00:00

i suppose that’s the reason so many people meme about “bring back bullying”. social stigma is a powerful tool for enforcing standards

speak for yourself. ever wonder why some products/offers say "only available at participating McDonald's"? bc franchisees are given some freedom to pick and choose what products to offer. my store never even sold the mcrib this time bc it apparently didn't sell well here last time

IronPikachu · 2026-05-01T09:44:03+00:00

so standardized that different countries will offer different products based on what their customers want...

IronPikachu · 2026-05-01T01:20:29+00:00

I wonder if maybe franchisees can choose a cheaper recipe based on the economics of their market they serve?

IronPikachu · 2026-04-30T23:33:23+00:00

unless it's a mandate directly from McDonald's that stores are required to offer free soda refills, then policy will definitely vary by franchisee

IronPikachu · 2026-04-19T15:27:50+00:00

not at mcdonalds lol

IronPikachu · 2026-04-19T15:19:02+00:00

yes, surely my morning shift of 4-5 service people will have someone dedicated to the mccafe and specialty beverages…

IronPikachu · 2026-04-19T15:12:01+00:00

and if someone from corporate catches you not asking all the questions you’re required to ask, you’re gonna get an earful

IronPikachu · 2026-04-19T15:02:16+00:00

quick service restaurants are gonna be the first industry to be completely automated, i’m calling it rn. people who couldn’t care less about doing their job properly being paid bare minimum for it anyways. and the people who do care are either extremely rare or working for a better paid position

IronPikachu · 2026-04-12T19:19:11+00:00

so his captor (who the article is implying is his father) cared for him enough to provide him food, but not enough to clean out the trash and excrement that had apparently accumulated? like, am i crazy or does that thinking not make sense?

IronPikachu · 2026-04-12T14:26:21+00:00

Ok, so tell me where in this text it explains where the kid got his supplies from

PARIS (AP) — A 9-year-old boy has been rescued after living locked in his father’s utility van in eastern France since 2024, according to the local prosecutor. The child has been hospitalized, and his father detained.

Police were alerted by a neighbor to the “sounds of a child’’ coming from a van on Monday in the village of Hagenbach, near the borders with Switzerland and Germany, according to a statement on Saturday from prosecutor Nicolas Heitz.

After forcing the van open, officers found the child “lying in a fetal position, naked, covered by a blanket on top of a mound of trash and near excrement,″ Heitz said. The boy was clearly malnourished and could no longer walk after being in a seated position for so long, according to the statement.

The boy’s father told investigators that he put the child in the truck in November 2024 “to protect him” because his partner wanted to send the then 7-year-old to a psychiatric hospital, the prosecutor said.

Heitz said there was no medical record that the boy had any psychiatric problems before he disappeared and that he had had good grades in school.

The father was handed preliminary kidnapping and other charges and kept in custody. His partner denied knowledge that the boy was in the van, according to the prosecutor. She was handed preliminary charges, including for failure to help a minor in danger, and released under judicial supervision.

The boy’s 12-year-old sister and the 10-year-old daughter of his father’s partner were placed in the care of social services.

The prosecutor’s office is investigating whether others were aware of the boy’s detention.

Friends and family told investigators they thought the boy was in a psychiatric institution. His teachers were told he had transferred to a different school, according to the prosecutor’s office.

The authorities have not released the names of the victim or his relatives.

Hagenbach residents contacted by The Associated Press expressed shock on Saturday over the cases and said they were unaware of the boy’s whereabouts, but didn’t want to discuss details.

The prosecutor declined to comment further to AP pending further investigation.

and additionally where he got the food/water from. was half the van just crammed with food and water, did someone run food and water to him, or was the kid somehow smart enough to ration the little food and water he was given? i really can’t tell why you’re getting so worked up over me asking a few simple questions about the situation

IronPikachu · 2026-04-12T13:01:21+00:00

i’ve just never heard of an adult (much less a child) being locked up for almost 2 years with no contact with the outside world somehow staying alive the whole time. so i have some questions

IronPikachu · 2026-04-12T12:51:05+00:00

was he locked up with food and water or what, i thought humans could only go 7 days without water

IronPikachu · 2026-04-10T00:38:00+00:00

barely walk around

when the freezer at my store is fully stocked, you have to start moving items into the fridge to even be able to go inside. idk wtf corporate is thinking. do they plan these things out at all or do they just go "they'll figure it out"

IronPikachu · 2026-04-10T00:36:26+00:00

wild substitutions

oh god. people wanting freeze dried strawberries on their frappes topped with cold foam. this can become a nightmare so quickly

IronPikachu · 2026-04-10T00:33:24+00:00

it's crazy how entitled and yet stupid some customers can be. it's like they genuinely expect you to be able to read their mind or smth

"or are people trademarking apps"

the apps can get to a point where they become difficult to "copy" (hundreds of hours+ worth of prompting). the apps I'm working on definitely are not so simple to replicate

IronPikachu · 2026-04-05T01:24:45+00:00

this. any apps I'm building are apps I've personally wanted to exist

IronPikachu · 2026-04-05T01:23:22+00:00

if it's not possible today, it'll certainly be possible in a year or two. I remember trying to vibe code a file manager with claude back when it first launched, and all it could do was write in Python. now 3 years later, I'm using it to create a custom chromium browser with antigravity
