The cost of food is not the only factor that determines it's value. It's a service being provided, not an object.
It's still a bullshit bonus and everyone who thought it was a good idea should kill themselves, but they didn't just get a raw potato.
I see your point, but labor cost for a single baked potato that was probably cooked at the same time as the rest of them would still be minimal.
A baked potato was $25 at the strip club I used to frequent, but for that you got two strippers bringing it to you while playing a rather amusing game of hot potato.
That SMCF, and yes that honestly sounds worth it to me.
What does this stand for?
Lol at the meme of the user.
SMH, I didn't connect it to the GP's username 🤦♂️
It was the cheap part of those nights.
The booze, cocaine and divorces added up though.
That sounds worth every cent.
And here I thought baked potatoes were supposed to be savoury.
