Original Title: I’m a cashier and the other day a customer said something I can’t stop wondering about. He said sarcastically, while chuckling, “everything is so overpriced, but we pay for it anyways”. Why do we “pay for it anyways”? Why don’t we as a society try to fight back by not purchasing overpriced items?
