appearances

You know what really hocks me off? When stores or restaurants put their "large" of whatever in front of their small so when you order you think you're getting one thing but you really get another.
Example: I'm having breakfast with my friend this morning at paradise bakery. She's running a little behind so I decide to order us coffee and I get a side of fruit. The ones in the front of the display are in decent sized bowls. Of course naïve me thinks this is the only size, so of course I'm surprised when this dinky little thing is placed up on the counter. I then realize I've been the victim of a bait and switch! Bastards! I'm already annoyed that two coffees, fruit, and a muffin are $6.51 AFTER my mall employee discount and all this does is cement the fact that corporate america will always win and it's going to be the american consumer who is going to finance their victory party.
