Receipt Found Under Dishwasher From 2015, Shock Over What It Reveals
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
The internet is in disbelief over a 10-year-old receipt a Redditor discovered tucked away beneath their dishwasher.
Reddit user u/Herrinfold shared a photo of the vintage receipt from a Chipotle order dated July 3, 2015, in the "mildly interesting" subreddit. The location was the 3227 West Addison Street branch of the popular Mexican fast food chain in Chicago, Illinois. The total included two chicken bowls for $13, a chicken burrito for $6.50, and guacamole for $1.95. After tax, the subtotal came to $23.49.
"Found a receipt under my dishwasher from exactly 10 years ago," they wrote. The post quickly took off, garnering over 6,500 upvotes, with many users stunned at how much prices have climbed in the past decade.
One commenter, John Templeton, broke it down with a comparison from the current Chipotle menu at the same location.
"Today's price:
Chicken Bowl (2 @ 9.35)
Chicken Burrito $9.35
Guacamole $2.75
= $30.80 before tax (43.58% increase)
That is about CPI ($28.89)."
The CPI, or Consumer Price Index, is a measure that examines the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for goods and services. It's one of the key indicators used to gauge inflation, and according to Investopedia, it reflects the cost of living and purchasing power of a currency over time.
Reactions to the post ranged from nostalgic to amused. One user wrote: "I remember always thinking Chipotle was overpriced. Still I thought the 10 year old receipt would be cheaper than that."
Another added: "I remember vaguely, Chipotle was less than $5 and if you felt saucey you could an extra dollar for guacamole.
"A new Chipotle opened up behind my dorm and for the first Halloween they gave free burritos to those in costume, the next year it was free between 5 to 10 p.m., after that you had to pay a dollar with your costume.
"I think there wasn't any more after that? But man that was a good alternative to the redundant food they gave to you at the cafeteria."

Others focused on the shock of the price hike, with one writing: "I didn't even notice OP got 2 for $13 WTF!"
"Thanks for doing the math! You did what we all wondered in our minds but too lazy to expend effort. Really well done!!" another said.
"My biggest mistake was not buying land in high school."
One user joked: "I was gonna say, 'inflation, what inflation? that chicken bowl costs the same today as it did 10 years ago!' then I saw the receipt was for 2 chicken bowls. Insert crying emoji here."
But for some, the timing was the most surprising part.
"Everyone's talking about the price but i just find it crazy you found it a decade later to the day," one user noted.
The original poster replied: "It's hard to convey the spookiness of such a mundane coincidence to other people so I'm glad you get it."

'The World Is Set Up Against Families With Two Working Parents' – A Couple Earning $260,000 Per Year Shares Their Struggle With Summer Camps
Many children look forward to summer getting started. After nine months of sitting at desks, writing notes, and taking exams, they're ready for a more flexible schedule. However, these summer vacations are stressful for many parents. They have to plan camp trips and keep their children busy while juggling full-time work. This concern recently made its way into the HENRY Finance Reddit community. This group is filled with high earners who aren't rich yet, and many of them explained how challenging it is to take care of the kids during summer. "The world is set up against families with two working parents," the original poster mentioned. Don't Miss: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: Invest early in CancerVax's breakthrough tech aiming to disrupt a $231B market. The couple, with one of the spouses being the original poster, earns a combined $260,000 per year. They have a 3-year-old in daycare and a 6-year-old in a summer program that has been disappointing so far. Other Redditors shared their experiences with raising children during the summer and how they are navigating the current environment. One of the top comments came from a Redditor who encouraged the community to give gyms a try. Many gyms have activities for children and offer structured activities. The commenter specifically mentioned two gyms that offer a wide range of activities. "Both the YMCA and Lifetime Fitness do full summer camps with drop-off and pick-up flexibility. All day programming, but time by the pool, weekly fieldtrips, etc." If you work out at the gym each day, you may want to take your kids with you during some of those days. That way, they're getting in good exercise, which will let them use their energy early in the day. Trending: GoSun's Breakthrough Rooftop EV Charger Already Has 2,000+ Units Reserved — Many Redditors emphasized the value of creating structure in your children's schedules. Some parents were stay-at-home moms until they saw it was too hard for them to commit to structured schedules for their children at a consistent rate. It's also an uphill battle since many parents in the neighborhood may also have their kids in a summer camp. This trend plays out in many areas, and it gives parents fewer options for their kids if they don't want to embark on a summer program. "We would all be miserable with an extended period of no structure," one Redditor stated. Another person commented right under that post in you have to work to put food on the table, you don't want to overdo it either. It makes more sense to work extra hours and pursue every good opportunity when you are single, but the dynamic shifts for many people when they become adults. One Redditor summed this trend up nicely. "Make sure you are spending time wisely at work and not just working for work's sake. Cut back rigorously on [stuff] that doesn't matter. When I had no kids, I put in 60 hours regularly; as a parent, I put in 35-45, depending on the situation. My performance reviews never got worse." The original poster responded to the comments with some thoughts and a career journey that encapsulates many individuals who are grappling between their work and being present for their children. "My current work is actually closing in the middle of July. And I've already lined something else up, but it's gonna take a little [time] to be credentialed, and so I am going to pull the kids from everything and spend some nice weeks with them at home. But the new job is definitely gonna be longer hours at first. But, it's also good for the career. But, I don't want to forget what's important for sure."

Millennials Are More Patriotic Than Boomers In Car-Buying Habits: Study
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Millennials are surprisingly more patriotic than their baby boomer counterparts—at least when it comes to their car-buying habits, according to a new study. In the report from 65 percent of millennials were willing to pay more for a vehicle if it created more U.S. jobs, whereas just 37 percent of boomers said the same. Why It Matters Baby boomers have garnered a reputation for being more traditional and patriotic in nature, but their actual spending habits may reflect different priorities. Millennials, known to be more critical of traditions and patriotism, actually want to create more U.S. jobs through their vehicle purchases, the study found. On average, Americans spent $12,078 on car ownership costs in 2023, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A Tesla charges up in the Silicon Valley town of Mountain View, California, on August 24, 2016. A Tesla charges up in the Silicon Valley town of Mountain View, California, on August 24, 2016. Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images What To Know Millennials were by far the most patriotic car buyers, scoring 65 percent, with Gen X finishing second at 50 percent, Gen Z coming in third at 48 percent and boomers finishing last with 37 percent, according to the generational study. "The generation that gets labeled as unpatriotic snowflakes is actually the one putting their money where their mouth is," Michael Ryan, finance expert and founder of told Newsweek. "Meanwhile, Boomers, who'll lecture you about supporting America all day long. They balk at paying an extra $50 for something made here." President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs have impacted car manufacturing, especially as many Americans historically purchase vehicles built by non-U.S. companies. More than half of those surveyed said they've accelerated their vehicle purchase timeline to avoid tariff-driven price hikes, and 73 percent of shoppers would consider an American-built vehicle to avoid added tariff costs. When it comes to which vehicles and car brands contribute the most to the U.S. economy through manufacturing, parts sourcing and employment, Texas-based Tesla claimed the top four spots, with its Model 3 topping the list. The Jeep Gladiator and Kia EV6 also ranked high, while Honda vehicles took three spots in the top 10 list. What People Are Saying Patrick Masterson, lead researcher for American-Made Index, said in the report: "As import tariffs shake up the auto industry and influence consumer priorities, our 2025 American-Made Index [AMI] offers a timely snapshot of which vehicles and automakers are truly driving U.S. economic impact. Tesla continues to lead, claiming the top four spots and showcasing its commitment to domestic production. About 25 percent of the more than 400 vehicles on sale in the U.S. made this year's AMI, and whether a vehicle is No. 1 or No. 99, it contributes to the U.S. economy." Ryan added to Newsweek: "Millennials aren't being patriotic in the flag waving, anthem singing way their grandparents were. They're being patriotic with their wallets. That's way more practical. Millennials came of age watching factories close, friends struggle with student debt, and entire communities devastated by job losses. "So when a millennial pays extra for an American made car, they're not thinking 'America, hell yeah!' They're thinking 'Maybe this keeps someone's dad employed' or 'Maybe this helps my town stay alive.'" Alex Beene, financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "While I'm sure there are some millennials willing to pay more for vehicles out of a genuine feeling the action would be patriotic, the reality is many millennials - particularly those on the older side of the spectrum for their generation - are entering years of their working life that result in higher pay. Financially, they may feel they can handle these price bumps at their elevated salaries and support workers in America." What Happens Next Millennials choosing to buy from brands that support American workers could have broader effects on the economy. "What this really reflects is that millennials understand something their elders missed: it's about action," Ryan said. "And when you're facing a housing crisis, climate change, and an economy that feels rigged against you ... They're not buying American cars to make America great again. They're buying them to make America work again."

UPS Cutting Staff: What Move Means for Your Deliveries
Produced [by our journalists] with financial support from an organization or individual that did not approve or review the work. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. United Parcel Service (UPS) is laying off thousands of front-line employees and shuttering dozens of facilities as part of what it calls the "largest network reconfiguration" in company history. UPS confirmed Thursday that it would be offering voluntary buyouts to its union-represented U.S. drivers for the first time as part of this sweeping restructuring effort, aimed at increasing efficiency in response to a decline in package volumes. Why It Matters UPS is the largest courier in the country, delivering an estimated 19 million packages in the U.S. every day. The leaner workforce could impact UPS's operational capacity and affect the businesses and everyday customers who rely on its services. However, the company has expressed its continued commitment to ensuring the same level of service and confidence in its ability to navigate changing industry trends. The job cuts and buyout plan—which has sparked a confrontation with the Teamsters Union, representing over 300,000 UPS employees—are taking place against a backdrop of shifting trade dynamics that have created uncertainty across global supply chains. What To Know In April, UPS announced that it would be cutting 20,000 jobs and shuttering 73 facilities in 2025 as part of its ongoing "Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined" initiative, which aims to streamline the business through automation and consolidation of its U.S. operations. The announcement followed earlier news that UPS would be reducing reliance on Amazon as a customer and experiencing a decline in shipping as a result. In January, UPS unveiled this "glide down" plan to cut transported order volumes with the e-commerce giant "more than 50 percent by the second half of 2026."

Charly Triballeau/AFP via Getty Images On Thursday, UPS announced that it would be offering voluntary buyouts to full-time drivers as part of its "largest network reconfiguration" ever. "We are looking to offer our full-time U.S. drivers the opportunity to participate in a voluntary program that would provide an opportunity to receive a generous financial package if they choose to leave UPS," the Atlanta-based company said in a statement shared with Newsweek. In addition to this unspecified payout, drivers would also receive earned retirement benefits, including pensions and health care. Sean M. O'Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, called the plan "an illegal violation" of the contract it struck with UPS in 2023 to create 22,500 jobs over five years. "UPS is trying to weasel its way out of creating good union jobs here in America by dangling insulting buyouts in front of Teamsters drivers," O'Brien said on Thursday. UPS told Newsweek it remains "committed" to the agreements reached with the Teamsters Union in 2023 and that it has approached the union regarding the matter. Newsweek also reached out to the Teamsters Union via for comment. Will UPS Restructuring Impact Deliveries? While it did not comment on how the restructuring process would impact deliveries and delivery times, UPS told Newsweek: "As we work through our network reconfiguration, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing our customers with the reliable, industry-leading service they expect from UPS." As well as the increased incorporation of automation into its business, the layoffs are motivated by the planned decline in Amazon shipping volumes, according to UPS. As a result, the decrease in staffing could be balanced by a reduced workload, therefore preventing major interruptions to customers' shipments. In April, Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes said the layoffs and closures were "in line with the total Amazon volume decline," adding that package volumes from Amazon had already dropped by more than had been expected during the first quarter. While sizeable, the cuts announced in April will also only affect slightly more than four percent of UPS's 490,000-strong workforce. Given the recency of the announcement, it remains unclear how many employees will accept this buyout offer or whether union resistance could force UPS to scale back its restructuring plans. What Happens Next? UPS has not announced a timeline for when union drivers will receive formal buyout offers. Labor tensions are expected to persist as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters signals further resistance. No specific disruptions have yet been confirmed as a result of the layoffs, though U.S. consumers and businesses may see changes in delivery operations as the restructuring unfolds.
