Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize? (self.asklemmy)

like I went to taco bell and they didn't even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don't get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

A lot of people are responding to the title, not to the body of the post.

Why was there no napkin dispenser? Dunno could be a lot of things.

Why does everything get progressively shittier under capitalism? It's probably not related to the napkin dispenser specifically, but everything under capitalism gets progressively shittier.

Maybe. But there's a lot of "They're coming for your napkins to maximize profit!"
