I have outlived the Burger King. God curse his soul, for I did not take kindly to his chicken nuggets. They were an insult to the culinary arts.

There was this great Italian place near me I adored, but I didn't go often because it was so expensive. Then I tried KFC, and it was actually really good. But then they got more expensive anyway. Discounts that charge you the price something was last year. Reward freebies you can only get if you spend so much. In the end, everything was expensive, so there weren't any affordable alternatives to turn to, I was just choosing between convenience or quality, and being robbed either way.
