They had a great store in my area in the Sixties-Eighties, then they went out of business. It was a high end store specializing in electronics and consumer goods.
Their return policy was a no questions asked policy. I used to buy there all the time, because if you had any issue, you just brought the thing back, and they would give you a refund or exchange, no hassle.
I found out there were people who would purchase a large format TV to watch some sporting event, and return it the next week.
I had an acquaintance who purchased a high end SLR camera and lens to take with him on vacation, and he returned it when he got back for a refund.
I was appalled. I couldn’t believe the guy would do that.
Turns out a lot of people did stuff like that to them. And that is why you cannot depend on people to do good. You have to not plan on it, because they have a name for it if you do plan on the good in people to do what is right:
Liberalism.
I’ve seen the same crap going on. Lots of democrats out there.
Used to be (still is) a problem with expensive suits and tuxedo, prom dress, wedding dress. EBay has serious problems, because they seem to think they are LL Bean now as well. Liberals are usually a “want somethin’ for nothin” type as my dad used to call ‘em. Whether at the national or federal level right down to local.
Ex: Some of the taverns around where I worked used to have free snacks after 5 pm on certain days to drum up business. They might cook up a few pizzas and cut ‘em up into squares. That kind of thing. Just kind of a nice gesture, ya know? What the hell.
You’d hear some idiot or two bragging about how they skipped breakfast and lunch to take advantage of “free food” and inhale almost all of it. Result? No more free food nights. Stupid fu&@ers.
