Here’s my thing. I think most of us here in the US are still adjusting to post-pandemic America. Used to Walmart and CVS and or Walgreens stayed open 24/7. Not anymore. Used to there was this thing called “fast food”. Now they can’t hire enough people to do the “fast” part.
The other day. I went to a fast food place called cookout. They got my order wrong and I was half way home before I realized it. So, I go back and after waiting 5 minutes no one comes to see what’s up. I get someone’s attention and ask to speak to the manager.
I WAIT 35 MORE MINUTES! Before I dump all the condiments in the trash steal 2 fixtures and a booster seat, and walk out the door. Then the manager wants to come talk to me. I told him “we good homie don’t you worry about it”, as I’m loading the condiment dividers and booster seat into my car. He try’s to explain that he can’t hire enough people, and he’s working the grill. I just repeated that we straight and drove off.
I won’t cuss and yell at fast food workers, because they don’t get paid enough to deal with that. But I will steal a bunch of stuff, because my time ain’t free either.
A peck is an imperial and United States customary unit of dry volume,[1] equivalent to 2 dry gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints. An imperial peck is equivalent to 9.09 liters and a US customary peck is equivalent to 8.81 liters. Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel. Although the peck is no longer widely used, some produce, such as apples, are still often sold by the peck in the U.S. (although it is obsolete in the UK, found only in the old nursery rhyme “Peter Piper” and in the Bible – e.g., Matthew 5:15 in some older translations).
