I Survived a Live Dating Auction -- Guess How Much I Sold For! (Lemondrop)

Five EXTREME Savings: How I got $91.97 worth of stuff for $5! And other great coupon deals (WalletPop)

Oct 11th 2009 5:34PM I ABSOLUTELY AGREE. I really don't think that Cheerios meant for its product to be given away for free. I (personally) feel that the coupon wasn't meant to really be used that way, and I would feel a little guilty about just taking something from a store that I didn't pay for.

People now are so GREEDY, not only wanting everything for free, but feeling like they have done something to deserve everything for free.

So this bitch went to CVS and scammed eighty-five dollars worth of free stuff. GREAT JOB. She should be real proud of herself.

NYC Coffee Shops Shutting Down Laptops (Switched)

Aug 7th 2009 9:31AM FUNNY! That is FUNNY! Know what's really funny? The fact that Dunkin' Donuts has monopolized the coffee market over Starbucks as long as Starbucks has been in business. The fact that Dunkin' Donuts' stock is growing steadily, even in this recession, while Starbucks is in the toilet is REALLY funny! So that must mean that by encouraging non-customers to come loiter in their store all day and take up space without generating revenue, while it has the supposed benefit of looking like it's busy, like what you claim to see, that all these free-loaders are not actually helping the company.
Maybe if you got up early enough to get coffee you would see the morning rush of hard-working people filed up at Dunkin' Donuts getting their coffee before most Starbucks customers (IE; unemployed free-loaders) even start their day.
Dunkin' Donuts is mobbed during the day because that's when most people are AT THEIR JOBS. For some reason lazy free-loaders without jobs gravitate towards Starbucks. Sorry if you mistook them for customers, just don't give them your spare change or trip on them on your way out.

NYC Coffee Shops Shutting Down Laptops (Switched)

Aug 7th 2009 9:21AM Exactly how much do you think the mark-up on a bottle of water or a fountain soda is? Do you think that after the cost of rent, electricity, payroll, product, product shipping charges, and shrink, that a coffee shop is making money off of that dollar twenty-nine?
Now add-in additional electricity for computers, paying for wireless service and factor in how many legitimate customers are driven away by the fact that they can't get tables to sit at because the whole coffee shop is full of free-loaders, do you think that this is a profitable business?
Ooooh people may buy a soda or a water, WHOOOPEEE! That really covers the cost of operating a coffee shop. Try owning your own business and see if you continue feeling the same way.

NYC Coffee Shops Shutting Down Laptops (Switched)

Aug 7th 2009 9:13AM Hello! It's a BUSINESS, they are there to make MONEY. Internet is a service that they provide to their CUSTOMERS, not unemployed losers. Starbucks is not a charity, people without jobs are not coffee-shop's problems. People who can't afford internet can just as easily go to THE LIBRARY, and if someone is so poor that they can't afford the internet service, they should really sell their laptop and use the FREE COMPUTER at THE LIBRARY.
Stupid Americans expect everything for free and feel entitle to things that they shouldn't. No one has the right to get mad that they're not permitted to take advantage of a service that a business provides to it's PAYING CUSTOMERS.
You stupid idiot, who do you think you are?

Tips for Tipping: What's Your Gratuity IQ? (AOL Jobs)

Aug 2nd 2009 4:57PM I would like to say that this article is WAY off in regards to hairdressers' salaries.

Hairdressers usually work on commission which is usually fifty percent. Occasionally, if the place is cheap, they will pay only forty, which is still a KILLING.

Hairdressers make out like bandits! The bulk of their income is not tips, it is commission. When they charge you a hundred dollars for a chemical service that takes them an hour they keep forty to fifty dollars of it.

Cheapest food this side of the dumpster: Salvage grocery stores (WalletPop)

Jan 22nd 2009 8:36AM Does anyone else take issue with the fact that this alleged "journalist" is referring to someone as a "klod"?

Seriously, how does he know exactly how the cans got dented, and who is he to judge someone like that and imply such a thing.

Tact, anyone? Manners? This article was written by a jerk.

McDonald's: Over 20 billion served...then trashed? (WalletPop)

Jan 19th 2009 6:47PM Do you also agree with Celeste's comment about "type of person that would eat McDonald's or fast food?" It seems to me like she was judging people who get takeout, and you would technically be included in that.
