      Avocado toast is relatively cheap (especially if you make it yourself) and calorie dense

      Scooped bagels are wasteful and bougie and cringe

        if you live near where they're grown

        here they're ridiculously expensive

          I mean I live in the north-east US so they're pretty expensive here too but if you consider how filling they are it's still relatively cheap

          Like per fruit, avocados might be 2x the price of apples, but they got 2.5x the calories, so I consider that a better deal

              Yeah an 8 pack of apples and a 4 pack of avocados are both around $4 here

          What do you mean scoop out idk what a scooped bagel is I was talking about the gluten free thing.

            "Scooped out" is when you scoop out the bulk of the bread, presumably to fit more stuff in it without making it bigger. Very wasteful IMO

                      Can you explain to me, in detail, how exactly the bits from an “unscooped bagel” actually get to people who need food?

                      they don't scoop it and throw half of it away, thats it, don't waste food. Crazy I know right?

                      Like, where’s the problematic behavior? Who are they actually hurting (outside of possibly annoying the staff, but that’s a separate, labor issue, we obviously aren’t complaining about that bit even though we SHOULD be), by ordering their dumb bagel customization?

                      Don't waste food to be a bougie, thats really it.

                      Or are we just (more likely than not) getting jollies off of bullying someone because we’re so impotent we can’t get satisfaction in any form of political success?

                      speak for yourself, I organize IRL, don't project your situation on everyone else

              That is dumb as shit and I retract my previous comment lol my bad.

              I thought they like scooped the dough instead of rolling out out or something that's literally dumber than I could have imagined.

              Also seems like it would make it impossible to eat as there's already way too much fucking cream cheese on most bagels.
