Today in the southside (HONEY TURKEY WITH EVERYTHING ON IT)

Today I had an awesome July 4th. Happy 4th everyone! I spent part of the day hanging out with a good friend from Brandeis and part of the day relaxing with my best friend. When leaving out the house to day I purposely brought $15 dollars with me because I haven't been good at budgeting lately. Long story short over the course of the day my friend and I became hungry so and we could not agree on what to get. I was really craving a honey turkey with everything on it. The first store I went to was clearly a new store so I thought to myself oh this is cool I get to support a new business. I walked to the deli section and asked how much was a honey turkey with everything on it the guy looked at me so confused. So I broke it down to him. The guy turned around looked at a chart and said $7.25.

I thought he must of made an error so I begged his pardon and the sandwich was in fact $7.25. We are not going to get in to how much money I had in my pocket left from the $15 I left with. I told the guy that every other store charges 3.50 for the same sandwich. The guy just looked at me and blinked.

I told him I hope your business fails. How dare you come to this neighborhood and charge 7.25 for a god damn hero. I feel like businesses could do whatever they want legally but it's not ethical to do that. The lower income people that remain will not be able to afford anything. Yes, there are corner stores still but they are being brought out before you can blink.

Anywho Happy July 4th everyone.
