I wasn't criticizing the employees.


Man, the area you live in? What a **** hole.

And the company you work for? Jeez they don't know what they are doing.

Your Pet? Man that thing is ugly!

Don't get me started on the Car you drive.

OH! I'm not making fun of YOU. Just the things around you.




Get it?

I get your point.

Like to point out. 4/5 things don't apply to me ;)

Is that because you're not old enough to drive....or have a job?

Do you see the owner pull up outside, get out of a Ferrari, and strut in the door wearing a fur coat and a platinum, diamond encrusted Rolex?

No, because he/she is spending that money made on the "high" markup to pay for the building, the advertising, pay the employees, pay for electricity, gas, insurance, merchant account fees, taxes, and membership fees. Then you have to consider the inventory they buy which doesn't sell well, so they have to discount it so much to move that they lose money on it. Now consider kids like you who come in and laugh inside the store when other customers might hear you, thus costing sales and wasting the time of the employees. Now consider that after all of that, they still have to turn a profit, at least enough to pay themselves a decent salary at the end of the year.

So yes, it is bad to go in and criticize the prices. Find something better to do with your time.

Their other customers were put off last time you jerk-offs were there playing grabass and giggling as you said "peener" out loud to each other.
