We had that at a Pathmark here a few years ago. The "deposit" was a quarter or a little metal thing that Pathmark would give you to keep in your pocket. I hated the system because being a cart collector is an actual job, providing a wage to some worker. Take away the need to collect carts in the lot, and you take away someone's job.

2. Those strangers for whom you open a door for out of courtesy(anywhere) and don't say thanks. I say very loudly, "you're welcome !".
This was one of DH's pet peeves but now he has a solution. He says "here, let me hold the door open for you" and he says most people say thank you.Kay HComment

Yes, you are absolutely correct and I stand corrected. What was I thinking ?
I meant chicken-hawk neo-cons.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
And yes, I really disagree with their views, political and otherwise.
Hey Pigs, you sound familiar. Is it really you ??? Missed ya.

Hi AllOriginally posted by happymum
As I am the one that started this thred when I here the wage of $7.00 to $8.50 per hour and you say they can keep a family on that I can see why you have to tip what is the wage of a bus driver and so on
We over here in Australia that have to have staff on full time and we own a part share in a hotel for a bar man you pay $20.00 plus per hour if part time it can be more if weekends it is more then you have to give them 4 weeks payed leave per year and pay into a retirement fund alsoComment

I will limit myself....
1. I hate telemarketers, especially the recorded kind. I have to pay for my phone service, and they get to use it for their free advertising.
2. People that drive 5-10 miles under the speed limit in no passing zones, forcing me to tail-gate
3. Tailgaters when I am already going 5-10 miles over the speed limit in a passing zone
4. Diesel fuel and gasoline costing 10% to 15% more than most areas 50 miles further outside Chicago
5. What is a Neo-Con?Comment

Being on hold for "customer service" whether it's the phone company, cable, you get the idea.
I've spent hours at times holding as well as talking trying to solve a problem ( and the ones I am really angry about were not of my creation either).
What really rips me is that I am not getting paid to fix their problem, and THEY are...
(example: Cablevision: They billed us for hundreds of $ in pay per view movies that were never ordered. I had the channels blocked so I know it could not have happened. (and no one here was smart enough to override it, trust me).
Took HOURS, finally got the charges taken off, got PPV blocked by THEIR office not just on my clicker, so no one could EVER order a movie without talking to someone in their office -- and three months later, they billed us again. Really. For hundreds of $$, for a variety of movies being shown a minute apart. It was ludicrous on the face of it, but it was much harder to get rid of this time as they said i used up my " maximum lifetime credit allowance".
This was at least 6 hours of MY TIME, and as I said, NOT a problem of my creation. )
Rant over.Comment

When big company raises rates or takes away a benefit and tells you it's "value added" or "for the benefit of our customers."
About 2-3 years ago we received the usual rate increase from Comcast, our local cable company. It was a lovely worded letter that for the $10/month increase they were adding all this value...we would be receiving additional channels, on and on.
Well, after comparing the new channel line up to the old, they were REMOVING two channels . The fact that they were foreign language channels is immaterial 
. Called Comcast and asked them to explain the "additional value" we were getting for our $10 monthy increase. Without hesitation, the rep recited the party line. Once I challenged him, he pulled up our service area and said, oh yeah, you're in that service area...it doesn't apply to you. I insisted he tell me what added value we were getting for the additional $10/month.
He said "how about if I give you a $15/month credit to your account for the next 12 months?" Now that's what I call added value
