Like less than 10 cents

>>55880869
The price is make is less than it is to sell.
That's how profit is made.

>>55880869
less than the labor

>>55880869
what are they made of?
cheap flour
cheap sneed oil
cheap sugar
if they sell for 3 dollars they prob make 2.99 each unit (not including labour and machine costs)

>>55880874
wtf thats a scam. profiting $2.90 on sugary dough im in the wrong industry. why do people buy this shit its so expensive. thats like starbucks coffee that costs $1 and women pay $9 a cup or whatever

>>55880880
The point is that they're charging so much more to sell them than to make them that they can literally charge 1/100th what they're currently charging and still make a profit. Yet we're supposed to believe that the prices of these donuts 3x'd in the past 3 years because of "muh inflation" instead of plain old corporate greed

>>55880869
It’s flour and sugar, it costs cents to make them after you have bought the machinery

>>55880905

at least this is a non-essential junk food store. think about groceries stores who are the greedy bastards. they larped about eggs, fruit, meat, and veg being high because of covid and covid has been over for 3 years. now theyre saying muh inflation

>>55880902
bro a cup of coffee doesn't cost $1. starbucks literally buys beans directly from spics. I buy based kosher maxwell house already ground up and I'm paying $10/3 POUNDS. that's like hundreds of cups at the rate I get it from. a cup of coffee homemade shouldn't cost you more than like $0.02 max

>>55880905
It's been directly confirmed that fast food places bumped up the cost of food during the pandemic substantially because they realized that retards would keep buying it anyway. Like this isn't a secret at all, even mainstream media has talked about it. Retards eat fast food though and retards gonna retard.

>>55880919
I haven't even been to a Dunkin' Donuts a single time in my entire life. Imagine paying 10000% markup to ingest caffeine and goyslop which does nothing but deteriorate the quality of your one and only body.
>>55880933
Yeah, and it's not just fast food. It's pretty much everything. Literally most of the "inflation" that happened during covid was just corporations choosing to raise prices just because they knew they'd get more profits out of it. I recall seeing some leaked memos from a few companies where they basically openly talked about doing this.

it's approximately $0.30 to make (know someone who owns a dunkin donuts) and they are usually $10 per dozen not sure where you get $3 each. the bigger rip off are the dairy queen ice cream cones, literally 8 cents to make and sell for $3

>>55880933
its ridiculous. mcdonalds isnt even cheap food anymore. in fact, no fast food is cheap now. that was the whole point of fast food

>>55880979
I went to McDonald's only once in the past 5 years. (I'm not a big fan of the taste of their food.) I got one medium Grimace shake and some small fries. The total cost? Over $9. Fucking ridiculous. I could have gotten a full meal comprised of actual healthy food for that much

>>55880977

>>55880913

>>55881363
Back in the early '90s my town's local convenience store [Turkey Hill Minit Market] used to give away the day-old Krispy Kremes when they received a shipment of new ones in the morning.
My stoner friends and I would show up late at night and get a bounty of free donuts, but then they stopped allowing this.

>>55881410
*Early 2000s, not '90s.

>>55881013
As others have said, Covid never ended lmao. It's still around and will continue to be around forever. However, as people have predicted all along, Covid has since mutated into a less deadly disease as a result of spreading so much. Such is the natural tendency for highly contagious diseases

>>55881189
why do they want to collapse civilisation with that fake inflation if they have free food to throw away?

>>55880869
>>55880869
Moral Hazard, it incentivizes employees to stockpile then 'dispose' of the donuts at the end of the night.

Selling them on to piggeries or just donating them to homeless shelters for the tax rebate makes sense. Only makes sense to give to employees as a morale thing. Scientific management ruins working for those businesses.

>>55881211
You can thank Capitalism and Jews for this.

>>55881488
agency problem, not moral hazard.

>Selling them on to piggeries or just donating them to homeless shelters for the tax rebate

nope. it devalues their product. this is similar to home Depot throwing away a bunch of old tools nobody buys. if they give them away then people won't but new ones

>>55881381
There's something very off-putting about this picture

Probably because it's a liminal space. I'm genuinely interested in what age group you're a part of if you were unfamiliar with this concept until now

>>55881666
>liminal space
What does it mean if these spaces make me feel at ease and comfy?

>>55881706
It probably just means they activated your sense of nostalgia, which is very common.
These kinds of photos make me feel a mixture of both, personally

Dunkin is part owned by Carlyle Group, so they have near-infinite money. As long as cash flow > debt repayment per month, they can continue running. A location could have 4-5 consecutive losing months and still remain in business if the other months are profitable. The dunkin near me is always empty but they somehow remain in business.

>>55881729
>nostalgia
Can't be, I also feel this way about liminal spaces of places where I have never been to. I was watching youtube videos about liminal spaces and how unsettling they are; however, throughout the whole time I was thinking to myself how relaxing and comfy they were. I also found covid lockdowns to be amazing as there were very little people out and about.

>Can't be, I also feel this way about liminal spaces of places where I have never been to.
Yeah, most photos of 'liminal' spaces are places that people viewing them have never been to, either. It just vaguely and/or subconsciously reminds them of similar places they have been, so that's why it resonates with them so much. I've never been to any of the specific locations in these photos, but I've definitely been to places LIKE them, and something is weird about seeing them completely abandoned, devoid of life, and knowing from the crustiness of the photo that that place probably doesn't even exist anymore

>>55881737
Interesting, he company I work for basically operates like this and is part of a larger network where JP Morgan has a monopoly on companies. They care more about cornering the market than individual company performance.
I wonder just how many companies are run like this in today's economy.
Also I assume store location and employees cost more than the food expenses.

>>55881766
Why do people find them unsettling though? For me it's the exact opposite. The devoid of life aspect to me is just a euphemism for devoid of obstacles, which I prefer.

>>55880902
Consider this: jews

>>55881771
>I wonder just how many companies are run like this in today's economy.
This reminds me of some stories I read about the early days of Amazon's existence, when they would intentionally put other companies out of business by undercutting certain products at a loss and subsidizing the losses with other profitable parts of their business. Once the competitor was bankrupted, Amazon would put their own products back at full price and reap in the profits from the lack of competition. I specifically recall them doing this with a diaper company one time
>>55881776
Humans are a social species and most people do not view other life as being an obstacle to their own existence. In fact, I think that most people see a space that's completely devoid of life, and they think, "wow, this sucks, I'm all alone and I have no help here." I really believe that most people are not turned on by the idea of existing in a lifeless world

>>55881776
That means you're the guy the rest of us anticipate to pop around the corner in a clown suit saying some shit like "don't be afraid"

>>55881804
Just the thought of putting that much effort into something for the sole purpose of interacting with people I couldn't care less about is incredibly off-putting.

>>55881820
Some people really hate interacting with others like that, and that's fine. But I do have to wonder if you really do hate socializing in general, or if you just think you do because you've had a bad personal experience with the people you've happened to be adjacent to due to the unique circumstances of your life, and now you're projecting that onto the rest of the billions of people who are alive whom you've never met
I mean, I happen to be surrounded by some pretty okay people, so maybe that's why I don't take the same pessimistic outlook towards basic human interaction that you do

>>55881850
>hate
Not really hate, as that requires a great deal of emotional investment, but more like indifference. If you ask most people the definition of freedom, they would state that freedom is being able to do whatever you want to do. My definition of freedom is never doing the things I don't want to do.

>>55881798
That Amazon play is identical to uber v taxis.
It's I think why we survived covid and many others didn't too. Backed by endless money. Of course JP Morgan originated as a vehicle of the Rothschild's and more than likely still is.

>>55881032
literally every girl ive talked to has regretted getting vaxx and they cry about being infertile

>>55881870
I'm definitely an introvert, which, contrary to popular belief, doesn't mean that I hate interacting with others - it just means that I need time to myself to "recharge" after any long/intense period of social interaction, whereas extroverts can just keep going continuously without any rest period (other than sleep) in between.
But if I was someone who never wanted to interact with others for any reason, then I would say I hated interaction, and that I was more than just an introvert. I don't want to completely give up social interaction, because I don't hate it that much. I want to talk and have friends and stuff. But I don't want it to dominate my life, either. I just want a healthy balance.

Baker here.
They don't WANT to throw any away. They want to sell 100% of what they make. Duh. But better to overdo than underdo. The better way is to not finish your goods until the last second. If you could make a donut dough that would last all day in a retarder (yes we use fridges called retarders) you could just make them as you go with a little pan of oil. The ingredients cost a fraction of your time and expertise though, so the most common strategy is to just wake up at 1:00am and knock out like 10% more than you historically sell on a given day then hire wagies to shill it all day. Toss the excess, rinse and repeat.

>>55881870
To paraphrase Chris Hyatt:
The only freedoms that matter are freedom from, rather than freedom to.

>>55881974
>They don't WANT to throw any away. They want to sell 100% of what they make. Duh. But better to overdo than underdo.
Cool. I'm not going to buy any of your shit at a 10000% markup like that. That's fine, you'll still get plenty of business because most people are willing to pay a few bucks for some premade goyslop instead of turning on their own deep fryer for a few minutes to fry up their own donuts. But after seeing just how high the profit margins on donuts are, I can never go out of my way to buy one again. Making your own donuts isn't that hard, but I get that bakers have zero incentive to change their ways after realizing that they can keep charging double with no drop in sales. I would do the same thing desu

>>55880869
You're eating dust and shit.

>>55881410
not shit because any donuts they give away is lost potential clientele. nothing to do with food expiry or whatever

>>55882104
Remember when corporatism apologists used to say our system was great because all the free market competition would lead to lower prices? Except then all the prices went up instead, so now those same people are arguing that higher prices was actually a good thing all along because it means more profits for corporations and higher profits for corporations is automatically good for the rest of us because something something capitalism so now that means we should just shut up and suck it up no questions asked.

For you they are. What are production costs? OP either room temp IQ or underage

>>55880869
50lb cost $44

after adding water its 75 pounds of donuts for $44 plus the cost of oil to fry them. I guess a gallon of oil is around $10 so we'll say $54 for 75 pounds of donut


ok so each donut weights 2.5oz
thats 480 donuts for $54.00
or 11 cents per donut, this guy was right

>>55882650

>>55882692
Getting something towed costs hundreds of dollars. Poorfags can't afford it

>>55882650
They don’t around here, and even if they did cheap ass bolt cutters cost like 40 bucks. 40 bucks for a lifetime supply of free donuts.

>>55882740
Just kidding they’re way cheaper. And the small ones only cost like $10

>>55882740
is breaking a lock on a dumpster the same crime as breaking the lock on the store's front door?

>>55882798
Probably not, but now that I think about it, it would probably still be destruction of property. So don’t get caught or stay on the right side of the law and look for ones that aren’t locked.

I worked near a bagel shop and noticed at the end of their day they bagged up and threw out all of their bagels. Surely they must be the stale ones from yesterday. My curiosity got the best of me and one day I went to the dumpster and cut open a bag. I pulled out a bagel, inspected it, and took a bite. It wasn't even stale. It was the fresh ones made that day. And from that moment onward I had free dumpster bagels. My little secret.

>>55884713

Inflation is just the excuse given to the retards who are too stupid to understand that the sole purpose of a company is to return a profit for its shareholders.

>>55880869
there are more overhead costs involved than dough ffs

go start your own business if you think it's so easy

>>55885373
Exactly, and retards keep falling for it every time. Blaming higher prices on inflation is just corporate propaganda to shift blame away from companies. They tell us that somehow government made corporations go out of their way to fatten their profit margins. So then they tell us that we need to just get rid of government and let the market regulate itself, and suddenly everything will be great and prices will be lower. Except that won't happen, because like you said, a corporation's only motivation is to make money and it does not care how many externalities it generates in the process.

>>55885402
I'm trying to find it now but I remember hearing that there was a supreme court case that determined that a corporation's only responsibility is the financial gain of their shareholders.

all bakery products are like this. it's just how bakeries work. even when they sell wholesale to restaurants...most restaurants could make buns for hamburgers for 3-5¢, but instead they buy them for like 10¢...why, because it's easier to just buy versus hiring a baker and having an over and then the baker is part-time for 3hrs a day and during 90 minutes of those 3 hrs the guy is just standing there watching shit bake with nothing else to do.

It's the same thing as laundries in hotels, if you can't justify a full time daily employee and a $20k washing machine you just outsource it and pay more per pound but less overall.

>>55880905
>A hundredth
Ok, so instead of 3 dollars, they're 3 cents. And you need 100X as much foot traffic, and 100X the storage space to hold a quarter million donuts for the day. Let's pretend that the increased throughput could somehow be managed by the current staff.
Think it through. Hell, better yet, prove yourself right and start a 3 cent donut stand.

It's insane, I rarely get chain fast food anymore cause it's not worth it. The other night it was late and without much late night options here I went to a Sonic after 11pm. .

I ordered a #2 with extra cheese, tater tots, and ocean water. I was extra hungry so I got an order of jalapeño poppers as well. My total came to $19.75

I was floored. Haven't been to a sonic since 1 dollar hot dog day a year ago, and I couldn't believe it was 20 bucks for a burger drink tots and an extra side. I could get the same amount of food at a bar or sit down restaurant and it would be better quality.

I don't know how long they can keep this up. Most people I know have dramatically scaled back how much fast food they get. I used to get midnight taco bell like 2-3 times a month but since pandemic inflation it's more like 2-3 times per year, if that.

There's just no reason to get fast food anymore unless you have no other options. Why would I pay 20 bucks for fast food burger and fries when I can pay roughly the same amount to have a high quality burger from a restaurant delivered to me through doordash?

>>55885757
this anon is right. all of you are forgetting that labor, rent, taxes, and insurance eat into a lot of the profits of small businesses and franchises. also their margins might be good but they dont sell a million donuts a day. everyone crying about muh 10000% profit are the same people who think they can start a potato farm because each subsequent harvest yields free exponentially multiplying potatoes.

>There's something very off-putting about this picture

It's the color scheme on the walls. All those consoles were from the 90s when N64 came out. That installation was probably put there in 1998 or 1999.

The beige and green color scheme I think was when McDonald's was trying to be more "adult". Basically McDonalds was always heavily geared towards children from the 70s/80s onward but by the mid 2000s they started losing customers to Starbucks type places. So they introduced a variety of coffee drinks and then repainted and redecorated the interiors.

Pic related is what the inside of McDonalds used to look like. All the seats would be red or yellow and there would be plastic statues of Ronald and other characters. At McDonalds with a play place they would even hire people to dress up as Ronald and greet children and multiple times a day every day there would be kids having organized birthday parties there. It felt like magic, like a mini Disney world and you were transported to this place with delicious food and fun characters and games and slides/etc. Only place more fun as a kid was Chuck E Cheese...but their pizza was nowhere near as good as burgers and fries from mcdonalds

That image has one remnant from when mcdonalds was a child's wonderland, an N64 that's probably over 10 years old...but all the rest has been stripped away, thus it seems unsettling and out of place

I worked for Quidsi (aka diapers.com) when this happened. The CEO, Marc Lore, agreed to fold in exchange for the #2 exec spot at Amazon behind JB. After a few years, Marc left and founded Jet.com. amazon was so alarmed by this that they created the first Prime Day on the grand opening date of Jet.com. It didnt work, jet was a mega success. Walmart took note and bought out Jet.com, making Marc a Billionaire and I am now a single-digit millionaire.

Marc got his revenge by making Walmart competitive in the online space.

If this upsets you, go find some vids about what supermarkets throw out every day.

I worked as a night stocker while in college.

We threw away hundreds of pounds of perfectly fine food every night, and then kept it in a padlocked, ultra-secure dumpster+ security fence to prevent people from dumpster diving.

Average sized supermarket, 15 isles + deli/bakery/butcher.

It's the norm everywhere. Every supermarket in your town throws away hundreds of pounds of food every day. Every day.

>>55885964
back to plebbit at once

Not just stale bread / damaged produce.

Packaged things shipped from half way around the world. Imported shit. Cheeses from europe. Meats from europe/south america.

Shipped thousands of miles just to be thrown away in some backwater nothing town on a highway in the middle of the USA.

No, we never reduced things in price if they were nearing their shelf expiration date. There was some game theory involved that described the behavior that would result from this, in that customers would simply just wait to buy things till they were almost expired to get them 25% or more off. So you had to maintain the 'value' of the items by keeping them full price, or simply throwing them out and making them unavailable.

I was just a stocker but our manager explained this type of thing to us sometimes. We also took a lot of 'thrown away/destroyed' food home. Just set aside on a pallet while dumping the stuff. Managers turned a blind eye to this since finding people who weren't drug addicts to do night stocking was almost impossible.

Don't you guys have a section in your supermarkets where soon-to-expire products are placed? I shoppe from there almost exclusively.

>>55886294
You should also note that the dates on the packages are almost never "expiration" dates, either (as in, if you eat it after this date, you're likely to get sick). They're generally "best by" dates, and can mean something like, "Doesn't taste as good as we like after a certain amount of time," or something. The vast majority of the time, these items are still nourishing.

You only have memories of the play place during daytime with people, maybe even in the summer

>>55881014
Even around 2010 I remember donuts at Dunkin Donuts costing 60 cents.

>>55881014
They managed to keep prices low long enough to shift the behavior of an entire generation to eating out/door dashing 5+ nights a week and now a huge portion of people don’t know how to cook and they can jack up the prices because groceries aren’t actually competition anymore

this is an affront to god unironically

I actually JUST went to mcdonalds, for the first time in a month or so. I go maybe three times a year total. I always get just chicken mcnuggets. This time I got 9. When I get 20 I'll be a bit more adventurous with the sauces, because you get to pick 3. But this time I only got 9 nuggets, as I've said before, therefore only getting to choose 2 sauce packets. Therefore, I played it safe, and got BBQ sauce for both. I ended up not even needing the second. Who needs that much sauce for 9 fingerfood bites. All in all I paid 3,75 EUROS for it.
Going into the mcdonalds was hellish, it was about midnight, and the only place that is open at this time. It was filled with youths, many of which (second generation) minorities. Loud music, and constant advertisements.

they do the charity drives in europe too?

>>55880905
You don't sell based on a "fair value" that's how you go out of business, retard.
You sell based on what people can bear to pay.
It costs pennies to make those things, especially at scale. Scale is how these mega companies crush their competition. The more you make of something the cheaper suppliers will sell to you and the more efficient your entire business becomes.
So while it costs them pennies, a customer walks in and to them $3 is not that much, especially if they are hungry or having a sugar craving. You use their own psychology and cravings against them. $3 does not sound that much even though you are charging them literally 3000% of what it costed you, but it's ultimately irrelevant because they are willing to pay it plus they don't have the ability to acquire one for what you can make it for anyways.
In other words, communist hacks remain retarded and fail to understand even the most basic economic principles as usual.

>>55888061
dunno what the charity drives are
I know a lot about america because I've been watching The Simpsons for 30 years.
I'm a very special euro

>>55886029
And was your fast food "fast", or would it have taken the same amount of time at a bar or sit down restaurant? I remember a time when the burgers and fries were ready to go and all they had to do was make the drink and put it on a tray or bag it.

>>55886294
>here was some game theory
jew economics/apoligists.
>yeah let me just wait a week and not eat so I can get a deal.
there will always be people paying a premium for convience and timeliness. the rest can be offered a discount.
I think it's mostly bums suing companies for getting sick from stale food that encourage mass food disposal. I'd find this more reasonable than crapitalist explainations.

>>55886072
Your picture ignores beef and pork in the protein section, and animal fat (brain, tallow,etc) in the fat sections , therefore is gay and you are gay too for posting this. The only nutrition you need is BEEF, the whole animal, the rest is optional.

>>55882232
I have not checked your math and logic but I trust you. This is why I still am here in this hell hole.

>>55880869
Why are they throwing Sirgeys order of doughnuts in the garbage bin? Does he actually ask them to do this?

>>55880880
Is that legal? I thought prices were set by the central committee

>>55880869
This is not just fast food but grocery stores, auto businesses literally everything works in this way. This is because of the Jews. Jews have constructed the world this way to maximize profits for themselves

I hate that my wife never understood this. Why do we support Starbucks bs coffee? It's all marketing

>>55887986
This. I have always loved to cook because as a poor kid being able to create my favorite food without relying on a reasturaunt was life changing. I have gotten many of my family and friends to start cooking buy showing them easy recipies and youtube videos.

>>55888943
What YouTube you recommended

>>55880869
Should be feed to the homeless every night so they can die of diabetes

Never forget like dis post if u cry everytim

>>55880869
the cost is nothing
no one would go to dunkin if they were selling day old donuts
and the cost of the donuts they don't sell is factored in
the business model is convenience, when you walk in, you're only going to buy what's immediately available and fresht

>>55888948
Something normie friendly. Foodwishes is good but can get a bit advanced for newbies sometimes. I usually findout what their favorite kind of food is and give them simple video recipies of that cuisine. Once people make food for themselves once it usually snowballs and they free themselves from eating out every day.

He's not going to end up saving anything with costs of the colon cancer surgery from what ever unholy substance the McDonalds "cheese" is made from

>>55880905
a lot of pseudo intellectuals are going to try to convince you that it's anything other than greed. you're right, and they don't even donate any of this wasted food to any shelter or food pantry. people seem to think most people enjoy being poor and taking handouts.

>>55888124
>blah blah blah im a bootlicking faggot

okay, got it bud

remember anytime someone tries to talk to you about iNfLaTiOn that businesses make so much money they literally burn and dispose of extra product just to fuck over customers and create artificial perception of lack of supply

>>55880979
I just don't get it. If you want to poison your population you don't charge them big-bucks to do it. Local is cheaper now

>>55889039

It's made out of stuff that's rigorously checked for safety because any meaningful contamination would absolutely ruin the business and cost shareholders billions.

You should be concerned about the fact that there's nowhere near the scrutiny or oversight at those "small family farms". Those are the places where the illegal day labor shits in the fields and then goes back to picking lettuce. Same goes for the "Small family restaurants". 7 seasons of Kitchen Nightmares and you've still got people trusting places like these.

>>55888124
Communism is just based for fantasy. In reality, I want my dog coins to go up.

grocery prices have normalized a lot. some things are still outrageous, but they can be easily avoided. eggs are back down, produce is back down...not ideal but nowhere near the price hikes you've seen for other things.

>>55880869
Let the homeless STARVE.. throw out all this processed food instead of donating it to a homeless shelter!

>>55890024
Hey that food you donated made us all sick, We're suing you for 6.7 million dollars, 6.6 millions dollars of which goes to Goldstein and sons firm

>>55889088
It isn't greed, it's called fat fucks and there's a lot of them and they make generous donations to places like the OP bakery because they need to eat junk 24/7. You're lucky I'm not in change, because I would grind you and all the useless millionaires into a fine paste and use it to feed my slave caste (also known as goyim) as they toil in the mines breaking rocks apart.
