    this “common knowledge” “weight loss” stuff typically neglects how dieting will affect ur caloric rate. if u just starve urself, ur muscles will grow smaller and u will need fewer calories to maintain ur normal functioning body, meaning u need to eat even less again to not put on fat. but if u train ur muscles directly, they will beg for more calories so they can grow, and the calories needed to maintain them will also increase.

    for anyone interested, i suggest reading a physical education by casey johnston.











  • my guess would be that those loyal customers are the least likely to leave, so u can squeeze as much as u like out of them.

    new customers u wanna attract more of, so treat them better and they will come to u.

    those who leave and come back for the discount are probably not a meaningful enough size for a company to even think about.

    Or even worst, the elderly?

    id say this is definitely an effect of this behaviour, but i doubt its intentional. a company doesnt care abt anything but profits, so they dont care abt the impact of their actions beyond that
