So Target dropped a Pokémon collaboration. My sisters went to grab some things for themselves and me. They show up an hour before open and they see a bunch of scalpers who have been camping out since 2am. The doors open and sisters have to literally FIGHT to even get one thing. One of the things in the collaboration was a lipbalm pack. These pathetic men were fighting young girls for lipbalm so they could possibly scalp it. One of my sisters had to fight a guy for a notebook. A single notebook. These scalpers were so scared of missing potential profit that they were willing to throw hands over a notebook.

I couldn't imagine being so pathetic I'm fighting people half my age and size so I can shill them on ebay for 1000% the price. Good news is that my sisters were victorious and got what they wanted

The new $3 value menu.

GOOD GRIEF. People in the McDonald's sub are losing their freaking minds over this new menu. Saying how McDonald's is greedy, that they will never go back and even demanding a boycott? Yeah. They want everyone to boycott McDonald's because they got rid of the BOGO deals. They are hyping up Wendy's and Burger King, but they don't have a BOGO menu and their prices are the same. These people are melting down over a slice of cheese. And no surprise, they are also "Going to McDonald's everyday, buying every promotional item, and limited time item while complaining about prices" customers.

And don't even get me started about how they complain about the decor. Like they are mad, it's now sleek and minimalist instead of still being stuck in the 80's-90's. They fully want McDonald's to stay in the 90's. Also, a lot of them have parasocial relationships with employees. They don't want employees to just talk their order and give them food. They want employees to "talk" to them. Hang out. Form relationships (I'm not kidding). And that's so freaking weird. These grown adults want random employees HALF OF WHICH ARE MINORS to form relationships with them.

Honestly, I think this menu change was a good thing. Clearly, too many people are dependent on McDonald's and need a break.
