That might look better with a bigger table. Seems dumb that they don't have an island or something for more counter space.

Basement stair technology has not advanced in over a century. How many brain injuries can we assign to such stairs?

We sometimes get a food truck out here at the plant during lunch hours.
they charge 14 bucks for a sammich.

Sounds about right... when $12 to $15 become the norm for lunch? I was paying $9 for a same damn food just 2 years ago.

Is this an inflation thing, a higher minimum wage thing, or both?

most people don't pay those prices. Where on the planet is this?

Actually sounds like a total ripoff .... I can get a good sized & delicious Boars Head roast beef sub for like $8 in over-priced CT.

What? I feel like food costs have gone up, but its not that expensive here unless you're being a moron or splurging for some overpriced but good food (like a good burger and fries).

While I'm whining, can I complain about manbuns? Damn, that hairstyle looks stupid.

Cool, you can sound like my sister's dipshit fiance and my nephew who argued with each other about both of them hating manbuns (as in they both were trying to trash manbuns for some reason - despite them having pretty much zero reason to give a shit other than they apparently are checking out dudes and mad that the manbun was making the guys less attractive to them or something? - yet because they can't do anything but argue like morons they were arguing with each other over it despite them being in agreement).

You might think CT is over-priced, but at my job in MD everything costs way too much. I try to remember I have to get gasoline and food in Virginia and not spend any money while I'm up here.
Getting a giant roast beef sub for 8 dollars means you are doing pretty well, inflation-wise.

Connecticut is overpriced for most things, however I'll allow that MD may in fact be a bit worse!

:D


*(also I didn't say giant ... just normal size sesame-sub for $8 here but really really good!)

I'm in Connecticut as well. Here on the shoreline, that same roast beef sub would cost about $9.50. You'll end up paying about $14 once you throw in a bag of chips and a drink and add tax.

Maybe I should blame tourist season as well, along with the minimum wage hikes and inflation?

That's why most days I bring lunch from home!

Didn't have enough money for the island.
Refrigerator placement is horrendous.
Cathedral doors and captains rail are soo 1970, and putting the microwave over the stove is a CRIME AGAINST GOD! Everyone with twenty two working brain cells figured out that it's the single worst place for it 30 years ago. Why does this abomination continually show up? Why doesn't congress address this issue?

What we have here is a seriously fucked up kitchen. It's very existence offends me.

Owners been watching far too much HG TV.
This open concept BS is crap.
I don’t want to live in one enormous open room. I want to be able to sit somewhere alone to do some work or read something.

Boar's Head sandwiches here in Chicago are $10-$12 with a side (fruit or chips).

You can, but it makes you sound like an old man. Probably what it sounded like when people complained about males with ponytails a few decades ago (which for some reason didn't get a gender distinction the way the "man bun" has).

Sorry... but when I see that basement, all I see is potential. I'm imagining a giant mancave with a 90" TV and a pool table!
