All over, consumers are getting ripped off. It started with Covid, then inflation, now it's morphed into pure greed. Prices are outrageous.

 

Two examples. I've been going to a deli on Long Island for 20 years. Good place; used to be reasonably priced. Then, a few months ago, the store began charging 13.50 for a smoothie. I talked to the owner. He had no explanation. So, I stopped buying them but continued with other stuff.

 

On Friday, I ordered chicken with rice soup. 14.25. No way. The soup costs around a dollar wholesale. Told the guy, adios. I spent a few hundred dollars in that place a year, at least.

 

It's not the money; it's the principle.

 

Then I got a notice from a car lease place to pay them $500 bucks. But the bill doesn't say for what. So I called. A guy named Monroe comes on the line but will not give me his last name.

 

What is this? I don't do business like that. They will wait a long time for the 500.

 

We need a consumer revolt in this country. Don't let them hose you. Walk away.

 

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
