How low can you go???

No, we are not playing limbo. This blog is a result of a crappy mood and too much social media for a Friday night. Here is what I have noticed while I am eating my grilled hamburger alone on Friday night feeling really crappy about that, but that's another blog. Back to the item at hand......you know what I am sick of seeing on Facebook?

"Looking for someone to___________for really cheap, I want the best job done but I don't want to pay anything."

"looking for someone to mow my 50 acre yard that hasn't been cut yet this year and has metal junk laying all around, for about $20, cuz I don't wanna pay an arm and a leg for someone else to do what I can do"

"Who works on computers for cheap?"

"best and cheapest place to have a cake made?"

"Where can I rent a ____for next to nothing?"

DEAR LORD what has Wal-Mart done to this country???? Have we really dumbed ourselves down SO much that we cant even understand that the word BEST and CHEAP are not usually found in the same place??? You want the best eh? Then you are not going to get cheap bro! Has big box America come in and blinded us with the .99 store and everyday low prices SO MUCH that we forget that there are actually people out there in the country who work and deserve to be paid for it??

Now, before you go and say, what is wrong with getting the best deal, or a fair price?? I get it. I am the QUEEN of getting a bargain. But I also know that I usually get those things on material items, not service. That is one area I don't want a coupon!! Work on my car?? You better be good, I am willing to pay. Make my computer better without messing it up? Here ya go, take the money.

Your first born is getting married and you want the perfect cake? But only want to pay $50 to serve 200?? GO TO WALMART.

You want your yard to look like a golf green? Write a check. Because it takes someone with skill, and talent to make it look like that. Never trust a guy that can fix your plumbing, update your laptop, wire a new outlet...and bake you a cake. And if you find him...PAY him well.

All I am saying is I am sick of seeing all of these I want this for nothing posts. Good work and talent is worth paying for. Don't sell yourself short if you have a service or good to offer. Let some other dingledorf do the work for half of the pay. I am not bashing walmart, I am just saying I feel like we Americans have just gotten so used to the culture of recession and going broke, or spending more than you make.... that everyone forgets that you are keeping good people in business.

Now, if you will excuse me....my mower needs worked on and I need to find the cheapest fella to fix it.....
