In America, a warehouse store. A fully roasted chicken costs five dollars, the raw chicken beside it costs seven, and I stood between them like a man between two truths.

Golden. Hot. Seasoned. Spinning in glory under the lights, in a line of its brothers. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents.

I checked the raw birds. Seven dollars. Pale. Cold. You must do everything yourself.

This is not commerce. Commerce does not move backward. Somewhere in this building, mathematics lies defeated.

I asked the man at the counter. "How is the cooked bird cheaper than the raw bird?"

"Been five bucks forever. They keep it that way."

"But the store loses."

"Yep. On purpose."

On purpose. I held my receipt with both hands.

In my land, a lord who lowered the price of rice in a hard winter was remembered for generations. They built him a small shrine. This store does it every day, with chicken, and tells no one.

A woman behind me grew tired of my reverence. "It's just a chicken, sir."

It is not just a chicken. It is a wound the merchant takes on purpose, so that anyone, on any day, with five dollars, eats like a lord. The bird is the message. The price is the vow.

I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious.

Some prices are not prices. They are promises.

I return every week now. I take one bird. I bow toward the deli, briefly, so as not to alarm the staff. They have begun nodding back.

The vow holds. The bird turns. Five dollars.

Long may it spin.

@LokiJarson I agree they shouldn't raise prices but I think he's just saying shareholders probably want that.

[Alont @AlexD79_]

@LokiJarson That's just not really true though

[Alont @AlexD79_]

@LokiJarson Like there weren't articles on how it's the fastest selling console ever.

@afrndfromwork @GameSpot Buggy? Since when?

What happens to the student's first app, or the privacy tool built by a volunteer? Google's mandatory registration blocks them all by default unless they play by Google's rules. https://t.co/P3VxLcWbZi #KeepAndroidOpen

@TechAddikt @BethesdaStudios @StarfieldGame Maybe they'll fix it I don't know

[Alont @AlexD79_]

@TechAddikt @BethesdaStudios @StarfieldGame Yeah I was pretty confused but after just launching the game and stopping it multiple times it just suddenly started downloading an update for the DLC

[Alont @AlexD79_]

@TechAddikt @BethesdaStudios @StarfieldGame Yeah I had it on the Xbox app on PC. I think it's probably an Xbox app exclusive issue. Maybe restart your computer and see if there's an update because I think that's what happened to me

[Alont @AlexD79_]

@SlickTheVic @BethesdaStudios @StarfieldGame They said they have a fix coming next week

[Alont @AlexD79_]

@MutsuniNaruBeam @ZephyrKibago @AnAverageGamerX He was joking

@galiban00 @HurricanePL2 @ShitpostRock2 Skyrim is also one of the 10 best selling games of all time
