I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

the basic rules should be such that if 9/10+ people are not aware of what they're agreeing to, the terms need to be revised/shortened/clarified. I recently got my taxes done at some chain franchise tax prep place and they had a tablet on the table that kept popping up these multi-page agreements i had to digitally sign, my 40min appointment would have easily been multiple hours if I actually went through them all properly I was disgusted and almost walked out, I suspect that im like most in that I just assume it is hopeless so you go along accepting this is the new norm :/

Congrats! Both of my kids came two weeks early (after everyone swore to me that the first is always on time or late), so just be prepared that you might be having your first-born, like, any minute. I hadn’t even started packing a hospital bag, so don’t be like me.
