The gas station down on the corner. When I first moved here, I went there all the time because it was convenient. Gas, bread, soda, you name it, I would swing through there and pick it up. I stopped every single work morning and got coffee on the way to work. I started bringing my own insulated cup, so they charged me less. Then it was bought by a new owner, and he wanted to charge me more. Okay, it was still cheaper than if I used their cup and more convenient than making it at home - they provide the coffee, sweetener, creamer, and there's no clean up on my part. One day I went in with a new cup that was the same capacity as the old cup. A different shape, but it held the same number of ounces. The owner said, "that cup's bigger, I charge you more." I tried to argue, but he didn't budge, and he charged me the same amount as a large coffee in their cup. Now, I'm not stupid, I've worked in retail before, I know the largest cost to a cup of coffee is the cup, but I paid it, walked out the door, and never set foot in there again. That's been eleven years ago, and I don't plan to go back. I hope the few cents he greedily wanted over coffee was worth all the other lost sales.

Am I the only one that sees Uncle Lewis from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation?!?
I didn’t read close enough and thought you said TikTok. I thought to myself, “TikTok has reminders?!?”
You don’t know? Sheesh, what a failure. 😀

They’ll never quit quitting!
Sadly, money can’t buy class.
I mean, to be fair, they have the meats.
I don't miss it at all, but I couldn't afford to do it today! The government is obviously trying to price people out of doing it. That's not why I quit, but it would certainly make me if I still was.
