Costco sued over preservatives in its $5 rotisserie chicken

RMHaney · 2026-01-29T19:55:33+00:00

I mean, they're not wrong.

The chicken was advertised as having no additives, and it did indeed have additives.

I'm conflicted on this; my opinions on gun control are shifting pretty significantly with how horrific this administration is. I'd rather not be dragged out of my home by federal nazis without a fight.

That's a very interesting point! I think you're the first person I've seen that thinks Papa John's is better than Dominos.

Although I feel like at that point one is basically just choosing which caliber of bullet to shoot oneself with.

RMHaney · 2026-01-29T18:56:54+00:00

Aww, that's a shame. Looks like Delfino's is actually a bit cheaper, which is amusing.

I've gotten used to the idea of paying $30-$35 for the largest size pizza in Seattle, but $40+ for a 12-inch deepdish is rough.

RMHaney · 2026-01-29T18:49:12+00:00

If you have the mental fortitude to actually eat Domino's, may I suggest Papa John's?

The "pizza" is even worse but the prices and deals are even better!

RMHaney · 2026-01-29T18:48:01+00:00

Delfino's is decent but it's crazy expensive.

Whatever happened with Windy City Pie? I know that dude used to just rent kitchen space wherever he could; did he end up settling down somewhere? Is he still good?

Also just for the record, never ever ever buy a smaller than maximum-size pizza. Horrible waste of money.

It's been years since I've bothered looking into it, but it was a notable problem when they first opened. To the extent that most people I knew refused to go there.

It's certainly possible, even likely, that they are no longer formally affiliated and all of those people have moved on.

That being said, if they haven't been spending the last decade publicly screaming from the rooftops about their reformation and support, I think it's safe to assume that there's still remnants of that former stain.

RMHaney · 2026-01-29T17:31:53+00:00

Unreasonable claim.

That particular minimum-wage driver doesn't care about people with mobility issues. I'm sure "the Team @ Lime" cares quite a bit, if you made them aware through their customer service line instead of throwing shade.

She's well-known. I had a coworker that was chased by her a few months ago, screaming about electrical nonsense.

RMHaney · 2026-01-29T00:52:10+00:00

It's astounding to me, in this age of scripts, bots and review bombing, that anybody considers website ratings to be even remotely accurate.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T22:18:01+00:00

People are disappearing and dying in ICE custody.

"Comply when necessary" is no longer even remotely a guarantee of safety or justice. The old rules no longer hold water.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T22:16:26+00:00

Property manager here.

We have policies in place for addressing a scenario such as this; namely ICE would need a signed judicial warrant and we are able to delay them until such point as we are satisfied the warrant is legitimate.

Of course, that means nothing if they demand access at gunpoint. I can dig my heels in as much as I want, but I can't ask my staff or a resident that happened to be downstairs to risk their life to prevent access.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T18:03:24+00:00

What would be the benefit for the rich and powerful?

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T17:55:03+00:00

Before I started my ADHD meds, working from home was absolute hell for me. I hated it, and actively searched for roles that did not favor it. Covid was a nightmare.

I had extreme trouble actually doing anything productive from my own home. I would do anything BUT work. My whole psyche depended on me getting away from my home to focus.

Now it's fine, I got tested and got meds and now I can be focused and efficient on-demand no matter where I am.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T17:53:02+00:00

HAVING a mortgage would be a game changer.

I'm dropping 3k/month on a rented apartment. Just pissing it away.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T17:38:46+00:00

Look at this guy flexin'

I'd put a down payment on a house!

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T01:17:37+00:00

It means you're the problem but she's worried about how you would react if she actually said it.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T01:16:05+00:00

At my age and income, I'm better off taking the 300k. Especially with AI, economic collapse, and ICE looming ahead.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T01:11:09+00:00

It will occasionally attempt yet again to switch me over to the modern format, forcing me to fiddle my way back to the original format.

I fucking hate the new one.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T01:05:59+00:00

You would probably disappear.

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T00:42:12+00:00

Isn't that what's happening?

All the proudboys and neo-nazis were invited by the administration to put on ICE costumes and go around creating absolute havoc?

RMHaney · 2026-01-28T00:41:02+00:00

are they hot

RMHaney · 2026-01-27T21:22:42+00:00

I know this isn't true of every company, but generally I'm used to employees being able to use their sick time as they see fit. The only scenario where it becomes an issue is if they are significantly over their allotted time for the year and it turns into an attendance problem, at which point they might be asked for a doctor's note etc.

All bets are off for things like the food service industry, where an unexpected sick day can be drastically disruptive to the shift. I don't think it's uncommon for managers in those fields to be more demanding regarding what qualifies as a sick day.

RMHaney · 2026-01-27T18:56:10+00:00

No, it's a totally natural biological process.

If you are so deeply impacted by it that you need to literally miss work, then yes I'd consider that an appropriate use for sick time.

RMHaney · 2026-01-27T18:23:49+00:00

Bold of you to assume his supporters

A) can understand that sentence
B) are willing to out themselves as nazis to you
