I could have gotten that drink refill on my own. Man, restaurants screw you. They spend way too much money advertising. Their volume must be too low. Too many restaurants. Hopefully the market will correct itself and drive some of these restaurants out of business so we can have lower prices. We all know less competition equals lower prices.

Someone making $72 I can live with. I've paid plumbers $200 an hour, which is tough, but sometimes you're stuck. I paid a doctor $1,200 for a 20 minute surgery. That's tough, too, but what can you do? I'm not going to pay a loan officer $6,000 for a day's worth of work if I have other options.
