JSIS: Drinking Beer Woes-- Gas Gouge-- McDonald's

JSIS--  Just Some Interesting Stuff

From the May 25, 2018, Chicago Tribune.

1.  DRINKING BEER WOES--  The beer industry is blaming lagging sales on all this cold spring weather we're having.  Yep, not much fun being outside and having a beer when you're already cold.  Beer share of alcohol peaked in the 1990s and part of the reason for the decline is growing interest in spirits and wine.

Well, I drink inside most of the time anyway.

2.  GAS GOUGE--  Just in time for the Memorial Day Driving Peak.  National average for regular is at $2.96 and that has jumped 19 cents in the last month.  Of course, the Midwest is highest in price and especially in Chicago.

Sure hurting more to fill up these days.

3.  McDONALD'S--  McDonald's will be keeping plastic straws for now, even though environmentalists are against it.  There is still the Fight for $15 going on as well.  The way I look at it, working at a fast food place is an introductory job, not one to remain at your whole life.  Either go up to management or another job.
