No. Being cheap is a choice, being poor usually isn’t

Nonsense. I grew up around a few VERY wealthy kids, and they were fucking dicks. I stopped hanging out with them when they would refuse to ever tip servers or throw their pocket change on the table. Father made obscene money, mother was incredibly giving, and their kids bring their own soft drink into a restaurant.

Why are you hating on poor people? Do you think punching down makes good comedy?

Remember when goodwill started raising prices because non poor people started shopping there?

Maybe don’t ruin the few stores that poor people can already barely afford.

Is this blaming customers who can afford increased pricing at Goodwill or is it blaming Goodwill for milking their customers once they realized they could get away with it?

It’s blaming people that go into thrift stores looking for items to immediately flip for profit online, depriving the community of needed material resources at an affordable price.

It can be both. People don’t realize how much the way they spend their money has a lot to do with why things are the way they are nowadays.

The first time a company raised prices with a bullshit reason they should’ve gone bankrupt by lack of customers. But they didn’t because people have proven they’ll shell out money regardless of the price.

There’s nothing more devastating than walking through an entire dollar store and saying “I can’t afford any of this shit”
