Wacomaxxing

A price tag used to tell you how much something cost. Now? It doubles as a personality test. Pay for food without complaining and you appreciate quality, respect craft, and support local business. If you have a problem with a price, the problem is apparently you—and your cheap tastebuds. Host Mark Long visits Waco’s much-celebrated new Sprouts and encounters a $1.30 organic lemon and ten-dollar-a-pound ground turkey. Then, the comments beneath a photograph of a $97 tray of food from Terry Black’s Barbecue demonstrate what happens when somebody is impolite enough to question the arithmetic. Welcome to Wacomaxxing, where living your best local life may depend on paying the price—and possessing the good manners not to ask why. ----- Hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Your Waco Weekend—and visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wacoinsider.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for The Weekly Dispatch newsletter.
