This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/185335/median-hourly-earnings-of-wage-and-salary-workers/

according to this the median hourly wage is $20 in 2024, so it would take the median worker 1.25 hours to afford this overpriced pizza

if he picked it up instead of relying on delivery he could get it for $10, which is 30 minutes work

average worker does 8.4 hours of work per day

i think this all might be a bit hyperbolic ๐Ÿ˜…

the average working isn't ordering doordash everyday.

it's the person making 100K+ a year working 60 hours+ a week

1 person can make dozens of pizzas per hour, the ingredients are cheap. Its extremely abnormal for basic prepared food to be considered a luxury.
