There are a lot of overpriced things that do not bother me because I am either prepared for them or know what the deal is. Overpriced drinks at a stadium or hotel type of stuff never bothers me.

My better half, of whom I have no pictures safe for sharing, lost the extra key to her Denali within 12 months of buying it. I like to have an extra key on me as we use her vehicle for long trips. The dealership wanted three hunded for the key and another 150 to program it. I had never lost a key so I did not know but I researched it. I bought one on Amazon for thirty bucks and it took under a minute to program it.

For some reason this one really pissed me off.

I like it.

Uber eats, DoorDash etc up charges and fees set me off. I’ve used the service once. I go back every once in awhile and then end up picking it up myself.

A Subway combo being $17 and then asking for a tip.

Actually glad it's that high now because I haven't been back.

Everything is expensive now and most of it doesn't bother me, but $20 for a crappy Subway sammich is just ridiculous.

If they did a study I bet candy is amoung the biggest % gainers over the last 4.5 years.

They did an amazing job of increasing their margins in a low cost consumer targeted area. Most folks dont budget the $2-$10 spends.

Candy companies capitalized big time.

I’m being serious. I went to the store with my wife a month or so ago and almost fell out. I haven’t been back.

Stupid.

its the request for tipping like stated above. EVERYWHERE you go is asking for a tip now. Really pisses me off. If you provide a "service", you deserve a tip. Ringing me up at a subway isnt a service.
