My wife does very well in managing our sparse resources (in spite of the
efforts of the government and the Jesuits) and (I suspect) would not
patronize a Starbucks on an errand for a dying parishioner.
There are two (at least) things I do not understand about this business
(probably why I failed at it). Why do people buy "services" from people
who charge extra to annoy their customers, and why do providers work so
hard to be annoying when providing better service would actually be
cheaper and less work?
