It turns out that accommodating spoiled aristocrats who order shit they don't need from halfway across the Earth on a whim has a cost, and let me tell you: that cost isn't coming out of the executives' salaries!

Every time you return something, you are adding data to a spreadsheet that returns the value of "fuck you."

They will always charge the maximum amount that they can! The only limit is our ability to pay and our ability to buy somewhere else.

That's it.

You're jacking up the prices by making purchases in the first place. Or rather, they're jacking up prices because they know you'll pay it - let's be sure to put the blame squarely where it belongs! The blame is always on the ones setting the prices.
