I disagree. The “expense” for graphic design depends on WHO you hired. You do realize this is just an Adobe application and you can get almost any kid who didnt even graduate from the Art Inst. can do it for the cheap. You can find anyone on Craigslist or Fiverr for a fraction. And heck, the agreement is give us the template because we paid for it.

and you know I work in Hollywood right? We have kids in our company who didnt even finish art or film school but they know how to do their jobs.

If they tell you before you sit down, then that is their pricing.

No problem.

“It’s astonishing that people are surprised by this. I’m fine with it.”

Me, too. Maybe it would be better if they posted it on their doors as you go in. I think most people would be OK with it, rather than a “surprise” on the bill.

" Liberal/Progressive governor surcharge"

They will keep on winning as long as people mis-name them with titles like that...
They are not Liberal/Progressives... They are communists...

That wishy-washy crap is like calling brain cancer a terrible headache...

As I originally posted, there are Freepers understandably, who will be upset. Their place, their rules. There is no need to raise my blood pressure over this and there are more impt. things that pisses me off.
