Fountain Drinks.

I have a passion for an ice cold fountain drink, however I know for a fact that some businesses mix their drinks wrong to save money, and I can no longer put up with it.

Where is my evidence you ask? Well it is in the soda. You can fill up your cup, and see that its mostly Carbonated water that is coming out cause it’s all white. with a little brown. You can taste it, and taste little to no flavor. I feel like I should just dump it down the drain, and not even pay for it, however I feel like I have to be more honest than they are. The facts/evidence is clearly right there.

I believe they do it to save money, because the price of the syrup is more than the price of the carbonated water, however it’s screwing their customer over, and I believe it is a dishonest business practice.

It’s sad that so many business feel that they have to screw their customers, the customers that keep them in business. I hope to see a change in these faulty business practices in the future.

Tips

I’ve been thinking recently, why should we have to pay a waiter to do her job. It’s not like its a hard job to take someones order, and to bring them their food. The restaurant could easily pay them more money so they made more than minimum wage. Why should I have to pay the restaurant for my food, and then pay the waiter to take my order, and bring me my food? Why can’t I take my order to the chef, and then pick up my food, that way I don’t have to pay a tip. How about if the restaurant just pays more than minimum wage, just so we as consumers don’t have to pay a tip.
My job is much harder than a waiters job, why don’t I get a tip for doing my job. Why is the economy so messed up to think that we as consumers should have to pay a waiter to do their job? Can someone please explain this to me.

Finances, and the average person.

The average person from what I can see is always living from pay check to paycheck.  We are always trying to buy the biggest car, the best house, the best electronics, and so forth.  We are trying to one up the neighbors, as well as obtain everything that our parents have worked 30 years in obtaining.  I think part of the reason our economy is struggling so hard is because we all have a problem managing our finances.  I think we all in some degree or another are FISCALLY RETARDED!

If you are an average person working paycheck to paycheck trying to make it there is some hope for you.  I think one major thing that will help is if you have a fund that you can fall back on if you need to.  start out with saving $100 – $200.00 and then start saving up from there.   The purpose of this fund is for any time you have a struggle that you generally rely on Credit cards for.  This fund will replace your credit cards.   If you have a problem and you need to fix a leaky roof, or a flat tire.   You will use this fund, instead of going into more debt.

Second thing you can do is start paying off your debt.   Best thing to do is start with the smallest bill you have and pay as much on that as you can.  Once you have that paid off, you will need to put that money towards the next highest bill.  And continue the process till you have all your debt paid off.

Think of the money you can make once you don’t have any payments.  You can save up for big purchases, and start paying cash for those items.  You will have a much happier life.

I think if we can all work on this we could pull the economy out of the recession that we are in, and be able to thrive as a nation, as a people, as a continent, and as a world.
