the really serious conspiracy thread

[ronin]

some things in the universe we will never understand but sometimes we see things and think wtf or omg why oh why....
a example would be...

i walked into my local supermarket to buy some tuna and noticed it was priced at 6 pound.
i went into another supermarket and saw the same item for 3.50.

now little things like this make my blood boil as it seems they are taking the **** out of us shoppers!

one moment a item maybe on offer at less than half price.are they still making a profit on this?
when i buy a product like a sauce regularly and see it,s price fluctuate it really gets on my nerves.

oh bah humbug..........

Yes, this is very frustrating. But, everyone is a victim -- including the store owners (well, the smaller ones anyway!). We're living in a contrived world of supposed 'lack and limitation' so everyone is out to 'better' the other guy. The larger stores know what kind of game is being played and want you to be upset. We can thank the PTB for this.

First, we need to eliminate money. Then, we need to learn how to take care of each other and share everything equally. If we do not, we'll continue to be at each other's throats.

What made my blood boil recently was when I went to the post office to send a christmas gift and the woman behind the counter asked me what was in it.

I was flabbergasted. WTF has it got do with you, I thought.

She insisted she couldn't accept it without me telling her what was in it.

I told her it was a pair of headphones - "and a kitchen knife" !

Oh jeez, she whipped out her list of restricted goods and sure enough, knives were on it ( along with many other common items ).

That was it, she wouldn't post it for me. I was busting a blood vessel or two by then.

I stuffed it back in the carrier bag and walked out and got in the car and drove to town to try again in the town post office.

I was asked again. This time I only mentioned the headphones.

Then she tried to nudge me into sending it 'first-class-signed-for', for over £7 ! I resisted her intimidation ( it's christmas, and the post is chokabloc, etc ) and sent it bog standard 2nd class for about £2.50. I got an email 2 days later to say it had arrived.

a bit of humor with a pinch of truth thrown in......as in everyday things.

[ronin]
