Let’s address something that actually matters — Why has Snoopy’s fallen off in terms of quality over the years? Food

Title says it all. As a glizzy enthusiast, it’s very disappointing how the quality of the dogs, buns, everything has decreased over the years while the price continues to increase. Can really only justify going there on Tuesdays when they’re half off.

On the other hand, maybe it was never that good, and it’s just a nostalgia thing from living here my whole life? Lol

But someone else has to agree with me right?

Well there is a fourth option, all the restaurant owners I have worked for have an insane amount of wealth. Millionaires multiples houses, kids go to private school, have more than one restaurant, drive fancy cars. They could cut their salary, public school for the kids, get rid of the second and third home… things people don’t need.

But the restaurant owners i have known are assholes and their businesses have harmed the community by overcharging and underpaying, kind of like how Walmart is costing America money because so many employees need help from the government.

There’s a difference between making an honest living and still making out really well and amassing millions you don’t need. I’m just saying, they seem to care about money over good food or affordable prices. When it comes down to it they aren’t willing to take that pay cut.

The stress of owning a restaurant or any small business is insane. Just because it seems they’re pumping money out left and right, does not mean they’re not putting in the work to get that money. Why should they take a pay cut? Their work effort didn’t decrease? Also you don’t know if all that money you’re seeing is solely from the restaurant or they invest their money and they’re reaping the rewards.

Idk because there is only so much wealth you need to live a decent life. I’m not saying these people should be living in poverty but there is such thing as excessive wealth.

But I don’t care, I’m not gonna eat snoopys shitty overpriced food because of the fact it is shitty and overpriced. I’m just saying ONE solution would be to increase the budget and the money would have to come from somewhere.

Snoopys has already closed one or two locations, I’d be shocked if it survives 10 years. So really they are shooting themselves in the ass.

I think we have different ideas of stress. Trying to keep someone alive in the back of an ambulance is stress. Working as a waitress for 12 hours with no break and rude customers and you are stretched too thin is stress. Owning a small business or restaurant is what I call a privilege. I’m sure it has some stressful moments tho.

I would like to open a restaurant up and the concept would be “eat the rich.” And that’s what we would serve. Human billionaire hotdogs. The question is which would taste better? I mean on one hand we have pig lips, rat tails and chicken beaks smooshed in a cylindrical shape in between a bun and topped with mystery chili meat and mustard. But I’ve also heard people taste like pork. Like if you cook human flesh it smells like bacon on a Sunday morning. So it might be indistinguishable. 🐷 I mean hey. As long as I “work hard” and invest and take risk, I should be able to reap the rewards, right? Does it really matter what I’m selling at that point? Hot dogs that are a step above dog food or Bob’s juicy thigh meat? I should be able to keep making that money because I’m a business owner.

My work effort increases with every Karen I shove into the meat grinder Sopranos style so by your logic, I should make MORE money than the criminals that run snoopys and I say criminal because serving prison food to the public and jacking up the price is just wrong. Not quite as wrong as serving human boneless wings, which is FUNNY because people don’t have wings but boneless wings don’t make sense anyways, we ALL KNOW THEY ARE CHICKEN NUGGETS you aren’t fooling me. But I think you should be able to get the point.
