You're a broke college student. You work a shitty, part-time job as a barista which pays for said college, but even then they pay shit so what's the point. You spend majority of your paycheck on rent for the student dorm and food that you're literslly living paycheck to paycheck

You usually go to this Italian-Australian style pizzeria and get literally the cheapest slice on pizza, it's usually a lukewarm, soggy, pizza slice with only cheese

It costs $2.50, virtually nothing. It's good, kind of. The pizzeria workers don't mind you coming in and taking a nap in one of the back tables, you're quiet and a good kid

One day, you come into the pizzeria and see that the price for a single slice is $5.50. You saw a woman with jaw length, black hair in a suit watch you and she chuckled quietly at your reaction. You decide to get a water instead because pizza is fucking expensive now
