Mine was yesterday, I bought a papa john's pizza of medium size and some garlic knots. I was feeling like shit because my job and store is very good at that, so I stress ate. I contemplated in the car which would've been more valuable for my buck to dine with. I picked pizza.

$20 (more like $27 but I took away the price of the knots) was what it cost for a meats-based medium sized pizza from there. The problem I had with the pizza was that it didn't look like a medium, it looked like the smaller-end of a medium. Secondly, the person cutting the slices did a shit job, because I had two smaller slices than the rest. And I felt there wasn't enough meats spread evenly.

I honestly should've picked a chinese buffet because at least I would have variety and I could eat as much as I wanted. Plus saving a few dollars.

This is the first and last time I'm ordering something out of my comfort budget.

I sympathize. The A0 line of Samsung phones, holy shit they suck. I have an A02s but it's not my main phone, thank god. It's sluggish, takes 3 whole minutes to finally boot up, everything on it runs slow, the keyboard interface takes 10 seconds to finally pull up. It's technically not even that old when I got it and a year after, it did this.

Oh and it's battery goes from 100% to 94% in a few minutes with NOTHING running.

The fingerprint scanner never worked properly, i had to register the same finger 3 times to make it kinda usable. Now a few months later it doesn't work at all.
