The Bitching thread

Honestly unless you're a relentless consumer of returnable bottles I don't understand why people bother at all. I feel like people never put a price on their own time and consequently undervalue themselves and the use of their day. When I lived in Vancouver you had to go to these bottle return depots as well. They stank of sour beer all the time, they were frequently busy with the shopping cart can and bottle collectors which sometimes meant a long'ish wait and at the end of the process the average person would leave with somewhere between $2-10 after saving their bottles at home for a month. I always figure my time was worth more than the hassle of saving and returning the cans and bottles for the pittance I received so I'd just dump then into the recycle bin or leave them in a bag outside for the nearest "collector" to pick up. After doing the experience a couple of times I just said to hell with it because there was no value to me in participating in the system and I had better things to do that offered a greater return on my time.

It adds up especially at 10 cents and with the cost of groceries. I live in an apartment so I cannot just leave things in the curb, they would end up in the trash. I thought about just throwing them in the trash I think I will do just that. Loosing too much.

I'm pissed that my local Walmart is closing. As much as I'd rather support local businesses, they mostly closed down because they couldn't compete with Walmart. So now we'll have no Walmart and no small businesses, just a sad almost empty mall that will probably close down within the year. Hopefully the local businesses can bounce back.

Can’t feel sorry for a US store closing lol.
It may suck for convenience but they don’t deserve our business.
I feel guilty every time I shop at Costco even though I try to avoid buying any product made in the US.

Canadian small businesses are closing faster than they’re opening: report

A new report shows small businesses in Canada are closing faster than they’re opening.

^^^^ As per the latest report more businesses are closing down in Canada then opening up. Canada is just not the best place to start a business. Too high taxes, too much red tape, increasing costs are not good combinations for a small business.
