ludwigk commented on Supermarket Chain Adds 10% At Register, But Only In Some Stores

"So the place across the street should start charging "Plus 20%", then "Plus 505" then eventually, everything in the damned place is "Free* *plus cost of item determined at check-out". I love this part: "Given the need to attract and retain customers, our stores cannot afford to alienate its customers by charging unexplained fees or unanticipated mark-ups." This is corporate double-speak on a level that you just can't make up."

"@testsicles: Since I'm a noob, how exactly did you invest in gold? Do you buy certificates of gold like a security, or do you literally buy bouillon that sits in a safe deposit box or safe in your house?"
