Business owners are told it will save them money, they're told that everyone in the "first world" is doing it, and they're told that customers love it.

All lies. But business owners routinely make foolish decisions in hopes of trimming costs by a few percentage points, only to discover they've been fucked sideways by slick marketing teams and smooth talking salesmen.
