Just experienced this for the first time today, but I'm sure others have ran into this before.

My wife and I have been using this same dietary supplement (in powder form) for years, and have been really happy with the product. When I went to get a new jug of the stuff today, I found it's been "new and improved!", so I turned the container around to have a look at the nutrition label, and everything looked exactly the same. I also confirmed that the container was still 25 oz. I was confused for a second, until I noticed the serving size...

What used to be two tablespoons per serving, it's now THREE. Seriously? So, for the exact same price, the exact same amount of material, and the exact same nutritional load, I now need an extra tablespoon, meaning we're going to burn through this stuff 50% faster?

I put it down and walked out. Guess I have to find a new product now. Assholes. 😠

EDIT: TIL this is skimpflation. Thank you!

I'm in IT and have only been able to find part-time consulting gigs for almost two years now, so I continue the hunt. In that time I've only had a handful of interviews, and a bunch of rejection letters. 90% of what I put out there is only met by crickets chirping. 😛

Thanks to subs like this one, none of this, sadly, is a surprise. But what I saw today honestly pissed me off. A job posted by a company was offering the EXACT SAME SALARY I was making in the same role (Systems Administrator) 21 years ago. WTF? Over two decades have passed and companies think they can pay the same, as if we're still in 2005?

I've kinda noticed this previously, but shook it off thinking I read it wrong, or misunderstood the position title, SOMETHING. But this was far too obvious and in my face. Granted this is a role I'm beyond now, but I still get notices for them, and it just confirms why the roles I AM interested in are paying so much lower than what I was making just a few years ago.

For reference I'm in the Seattle area.

Has anyone else noticed such a disgusting disconnect between salaries and cost-of-living?

Aloha!

My family and I live in Seattle and used to have several Teddy's Bigger Burgers locations here, but sadly they've all closed down. :(

We were having burgers tonight and started reminiscing about Teddy's.

I know they originated in Hawaii, and the last time we were down there on vacation we hit-up two of their locations that week, and we miss it terribly.

So, my question - does anybody there have the recipe for making Teddy's sauce? I know it would be a small consolation prize, but man, it would be nice to have at least that to dunk my fries in. :)

- Thank you from Seattle
