Does that include snacks?

Try "Civilisation and Anarchy are only seven missed meals apart."

Is this why school kids get so grumpy and ungrateful when they do the 40-hr famine?

No, that is standard behavior these days, fed or unfed.

That's the issue isn't it. If these people behave like this over such trivial concerns, what will it be like when you have to venture out to compete with them in a food shortage? Throw in the cops who also need to keep their families fed and the hard core criminals and you don't stand a chance if you haven't prepared.
 
So much stupid in one small video but they're all laughing like it's a normal thing.

I'm not sure what the store gains from it though. Obviously the prices are good so they're going to sell out anyway but I guess it creates the desire in animals to want to go there and if they can't get what they wanted they can "save money" by buying other shit they don't need.

If it was a fight for survival items like food or water, I doubt they'd be laughing.

Things can and will get pretty bad when the people get desparate.

You have some 46 MILLION US citizens currently on Food Stamps in a country that's literally going broke.

Can you all see what's coming there?

Not good, not good at all...

"But the end is not yet"
 
So sad to see.

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how
infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and
admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like
a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animalsand yet,
to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me
nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.

Sad, very sad.
I don't even know where to start commenting on this stupidity. As some one who has not been to a shopping mall in over 2 years (for my closest one and 4 years for the other redeveloped one in Newcastle) i have serious contempt for these businesses and superchains.

This was the third time i wrote a response to this thread, the other two i deleted
