      @Mizmazzle That is the catalyst that got me on this rant, but not the reason for posting it. Our current environment (locally) is everything is getting expensive as hell and our dollar isn't going as far as it used to. Every time I go to the grocery store, hardware store, etc., I'm feeling the pinch. Pretty sure this is commonplace in many areas.

      Everyone I talk to now seems to be buying online for the convenience and doesn't think twice about returning items because it's not what they want or needed. As a business owner I try and explain that these actions are costing everyone in terms of time and money, potentially driving up the costs we see with everything.

      @WhiskeySandwich is right in that no one on here is wrong, but as I stated before, that if we all just took two seconds before making a purchase, then we might make things a little better for everyone.

      As I stated before, I applaud you in your effort to bring your friend onboard this denim journey. Again, this rant isn't directed to you in general, but society as a whole to slow down and think twice about what you are doing before hitting the "buy now" button.

        Didn’t see the post, but why not take him to Berkeley Supply @Mizmazzle ? They don’t carry 25 oz if that’s what you’re going for but they have most of if not all the cuts there. Though if used to dial in sizing for an order elsewhere I’d hope you buy something to make it worth their while.

        Think it, be it.

          @mclaincausey Hey brother. I've already checked in on their inventory. They don't have the sizes or 21oz id need.
          You've met my buddy Matt. I know you don't know him too well, but he'd walk in to a place like Berkley and just shut down haha.

            Good news on the AC unit replacement. Another company came out and was able to doctor it up a bit. We’re still going to need to replace it pretty soon. But they quoted us $4,600. Waaaaayyyy better than $15K!!!

                I don't think I've ever returned something that I've bought online, its always seemed like to much hassle. I still have a pair of jeans in the wardrobe that still have the tags etc on as they were a bit too big and sending them back to the states from OZ seemed farcical for what the cost was
                instore returns only if the stuff has failed or broke

                  Why is boarding a plane so difficult for so many people? It amazes me and makes me mad at the same time. And the blind eye turned by both cabin and ground crew to the amount of shit people carry on. It’s „hand luggage“, yet it looks as if they’re setting off on a grand tour

                      @Tago-Mago ...well, you must not have been away from home for more than a couple of days. What if I need "insert crap" while I'm gone for a week? Yes, this is sarcasm!

                          Don’t forget to immediately stand up and centipede-hump one another for 15 minutes once the plane parks.

                            I enjoy 1/3 of the airplane getting up to use the loo as soon as the seatbelt sign is turned off.

                                Boarding a plane to Tokyo from London Heathrow. I was in the queue for priority boarding (I am BA Gold card holder, and may even have been travelling business class). I got tapped on the shoulder and turned around, to be told (not so) politely by a besuited American, (looked like a lawyer) that I was in the wrong queue, it was for priority passengers only. I am not sure he could read my boarding pass because I thrust it so close to his face, but I think he got the message, and I did not have to say a thing....

                                    I love it when Karens take on the role of enforcing someone else’s policies. Especially when they’re wrong, as is typically the case.

                                          Flying is a necessary indignity. I enjoy the novelty and anticipation of travel but actually being on a plane is the worst.

                                            My problems with flying are mostly:

                                            1. smaller seats, fatter asses. I have a ton of sympathy for people who are genetically or otherwise large, but it’s not fair to have your fat rolls occupying my space

                                            2. amenity drought without corresponding fare reductions. Ever more we are cattle and there’s nothing special about flying anymore

                                            3. humanity as a whole is dispensing with basic manners. People playing videos at full volume, placing their bare feet on your armrest, farting, being Karens with the staff or other passengers, etc; it’s enough to make me borderline agoraphobic

                                            Think it, be it.
