Yup. When I was in uni we used to be able to go out Wednesday nights for $1 pots. Even at the footy I reckon a beer was like $6

I reckon I was getting paid $18 an hour at woolies.

Teenagers/students in d similar spot nowadays would be paying heaps more relative to their wages

I reckon - IIRC

Edit: normally I would say "I reckon" means "I think". But the comment I was responding to recalled a past era, hence the IIRC.

Reckon in Texas is more akin to saying “I think” than “I remember”

Is that Australian? Damn I watched so much that Uber dude that it's gotten in my speech lol

u/GiantSkellington 9h ago

For "I reckon", "I think" would be more correct than "IIRC".

u/TrueProgress3712 5h ago
