The crowds are so sparse at my local McDonald’s, they’re down to a skeleton crew of teenagers working behind the counter during much of the day.

Unemployment here in L.A. is around 14%.

Much of the day including - lunch time? I hear you. I just wonder what these people are doing now? Staying at home and eating baloney sandwiches? I guess MC’Ds does not take those food stamp credit cards.

The old physical food stamps created some shame for some people to go out and work harder. The modern credit card looks like a reg CC when you are in line at a grocery store. You cannot tell unless you are paying really close attention.

I just came from Food 4 Less on Sunset and every time a long weekend comes up, the Friday noon is usually packed.

Not today at noon. There were no crowds. Also the prices have gone up 30 to 40 cents.
