wasn't whining just stating some of the humorous aspects of life. You know
like locks on places that are open 24x7x365. Place that have two door but
only open one. Are they only half open?

Karsh,
You got several options. This ain't the People's Republic of China.
(1) Don't buy things in convenience stores where you are paying for the
*convenience* (i.e. 24x7 staff, very expensive corner lots, etc).
(2) Buy huge bags of chips and huge containers of coke at Sams or Price
club and repackage at home into smaller containers and take with you when
you drive laughing past the convenience stores.
But I think given your level of initiative, this next one is the option for
you:
(3) Start your own soft drink company, sell for 40 cents instead of 90
cents. This (given your math) will still give you a whopping 700% profit.
You will blow the competition away in volume! Everyone will hail you as the
liberator of soft drinks!
Bottom line, this is America, if you don't like it, don't buy it, better
yet, *do it better*.
Good things may occasionally come to those who wait, but the best things
come to those who just do it.
No whining allowed.
:-)
