Why are they allowed to return them? This is a disgusting policy, and impacts badly on small business, which can't afford returns of unwanted goods. I think Americans get a bit of a shock when they try this s**t on in other countries.

Some of these types of practices are to abide by government food safety regulations or to protect against lawsuits

Only in the for profit health care scam in the USA.

a diamond obtains its monetary value not from any intrinsic property or usefulness, rather from the value we give it in society, which itself was manipulated by marketing campaigns from mining conglomerates advising people to gift diamonds to their partners for weddings, it's like a successful scam like the whole apple a day thing

My frames just broke for the third time and the eyeglass place told me "oh, well, you bought the cheap ones, nothing we can do unless you spend $100 to replace them." My dollar store readers have lasted longer than my prescription frames!

The last hospital bill I got was itemized. Parking: €2.50.

Depends on the store. Two of my regular stores keep stock in the back (different sizes of clothes, additional products that ran out on the shelf).

or....here's a thought, maybe not be stealing?

Profits have removed all ethics from American business.

I went to a taping of America's Got Talent with Howie Mandel and Scary (Mel) Spice as judges. EVERYTHING is completely fake, and I do mean EVERY PART OF THE SHOW. It is all pre-planned and pre-scripted. While I knew some of it was, I just didn't know to what extent. Never will watch any of those type of shows again!

Nope, not in all. Many times call center workers are grateful to put you on hold because we don't have to listen to the customer's whining, it gives us a sanity break.

Same with hospitals.

Joining a union is one of the very best things to ever happen to me. I’ll be a teamster at my new job. Union busters are untrustworthy despicable selfish people.

I heard a great analogy for this. It's like putting butter on bread. Buttered bread left overnight is still soft in morning, whereas plain bread left overnight will be stale in the morning. Just having something on your face will do the trick!

Also, why are they charging me $10 for a single generic tablet that probably costs them 15 cents to manufacture?

This is true in a lot of cases. Sometimes it takes more energy to recycle than it does to create new product so it’s technically worse for the environment. Try to create less trash in the first place

the depths we have sunk to

Apple was sued and proven that they did in fact make an update slow older phones to user would buy a new one. Never buy Apple crap.

Gross! At my place, the housekeeping is bringing down the glasses from the rooms for the dish-washer every single day.

fax!!

Its funny that people are selective over garbage bags...i reuse my shopping bags for that...

This is common practice

I always assumed it was just an animated gif. I would be amazed if it was actually connected to your pizzas progress.

I'm pretty sure that in my country they'd wake you up to avoid bad publicity. "Woman dies in Ikea show room bed. Goes unnoticed till closing time."

Airlines are stealing your s**t too. Dumb s**t also, like 1 shoe just to f**k with you.

Sounds like a lot of people should just be fired immediately. They should rather be working at a trash facility where they can throw stuff all day without ruining people's stuff. I had packaged that contained several hundred dollars that were destroyed because of these lazy bastards.

A friend of my mom's works for a local store chain, and they are told never to confront shoplifters. It's supposed to be for the employee's safety. People know this and walk out with all kinds of stuff.

Ah yes... Fraud because you don't like someone. That makes it okay.

I have actually won a few radio contests
