I don't think many Non-business people know that each swipe cost the business owner a fee...and of course that has to be transferred to the customer at some point.
Just like when employees see all the cash you take in and they think you are so wealthy. Yet they have no comprehension of the overhead for the business
Amen to that! I'm small enough that often the staff will see me writing a 4k check for product, so they do understand to an extent, but the majority of the world has no idea.
If I had a penny for every time someone referred to how much money small business owners made, I really would be rich.
The fact my friend couldn't get into a bar last night because she was told they only had a revolving door. Then when I went with my friend, we entered through a completely wheelchair accessible door. There was some miscommunication, somewhere down the line, among the staff, that led her to believe it was inaccessible, when in fact it was completely accessible. There were ramps inside and everything. It's so common for a place to be inaccessible that I wish places that actually are accessible would do more to give accurate information and be on the same page, so that wheelchair users can give them business. If they went through the trouble of meeting ADA requirements, they may as well make sure to take advantage of it.
Standing in line at the gas station to pay for a soda, behind someone buying lottery tickets. She bought a $5 scratch off ticket, and won $2. So she used the $2 to buy a $2 scratch off which she stood there and scratched it while I was waiting in line then bought another ticket with the $1 that she won. She scratched off that one and lost, so finally she got out of the way so the people in line behind her could pay.
The inability to use the English language! There was a post on Craigslist for a hairdresser who would come to people's homes. He said, "I will DEFIANTLY work with your schedule." I'm sure he meant definitely, but I guess it could be someone who likes to be oppositional and is resistant to authority!
Our townhome neighborhood has a busybody/gossipy older woman that drives us all near crazy. Complaints include residents don't follow the "rules", they put limbs, etc in the wrong location for pickup, trashcans not brought in by an exact time of day...on and on and on.
Complaints about someone's choice of Christmas decorations...she looks into garbage cans to see who might not be recycling items...walks behind others homes peeringly, where she does not belong, just da*n nosy...then she reports this rubbish to the HOA office.
Wow, GreatBlue, that's a real invasion of privacy to be looking in other people's garbage cans. I believe in recycling, but who appointed her the recycling police????
This is only going to get worse over the years, in these HOA communities, with an ever-aging population, people with way too much time on their hands! But it works both ways, those irritated by them with too much time on their hands as well! Vengeance is best served with a laugh!

Thanks for listening.
Bloody old bag. Another reason I don't like neighborhoods and the HOA's (sieg heil). If she is sneaking around behind the houses, call the cops saying there is a suspicious person in the area peering in windows and bet she stops that pretty quick. She needs a more constructive hobby.
My turn: What is so difficult about parking within those lines at the grocery store? It's not brain surgery! And it's even worse when I come back out to my car and find 5 empty spaces around my car, but some idiot, excuse me, IDIOT!!!! parks right next to my car and even then parks VERY close to my car, so they HAVE to hit my car with their car door when they get out!
IDIOTS!
<whew!> thanks, that felt good.
