Anyway, I guess I can understand why the hairdressers do what they do. I mean, you pay rather a lot these days for people who are, essentially, merely combing and trimming your hair. If they include the shampoo, and the goo, and the hairdryer, and all their wonderful other instruments, it’s seems more like you’re getting your money’s worth. But I have the same problem with restaurants – you shouldn’t jack up the price on something because you “added more” and therefore made the price worth it. Most restaraunt meals these days are so far beyond my ability to consume that it’s not even money. Don’t charge me more because you’re including stuff I don’t need, kthx.

But such is retail. What are mere systemized peons such as ourselves to do?
