20 years ago???

Sir/Ma’am, 20 years ago, you had to go in, wait in line, have your order made, and you went about your business. You didn’t have an app or 2 (cause you didn’t have a smartphone) to receive orders from on top of the physical line in front of you and the drive through going around the block. And it’s not just a Starbucks problem. It’s a problem with fast food in general now.

I have the opposite experience with Wegmans - I find most of their prices -especially on meat- to be pretty reasonable, but their store brand stuff to be mediocre at best. I can still get chicken for < $2.50/lb. Pork might be $2.50-3/lb. Beef is higher, but I can still get some cuts for < $7/lb. Seafood is expensive, but that's true everywhere.

The store brand cereal and hummus are fine (and store brand is nearly all they have for hummus), but the store brand condiments are all worthless. Store brand bread and rolls are cheap but lousy. The bakery section sucks. Their frozen seafood has been kind of gross lately. The whole cheese section looks impressive, but I've tried several of their expensive store brand cheese and they've all been bland. If I'm going to drop $25/lb on cheese, I'll just go to The Wine Source.

This is the answer, but there’s a far easier number to memorize.

“#77”

That number, on any “State-owned primary roadways in Maryland” will contact an MDOT dispatcher who will send out help to your location.

They’re absolutely lovely, and made my tire getting destroyed by a pothole not the worst. :)

edited to add: for free. The attempt to reinflate my tire and put on a spare was 100% free.
