83. My only problem is when someone HAS the choice...
...and consciously decides not to make it. I know people who decry the evils of Wal-Mart, but then shop there because it's cheaper - not because they're poor, quite to the contrary, but because they're stingy. And then they bitch about Wal-Mart destroying communities. It's not the shopping itself that aggravates me, it's the hypocrisy. It's having the choice, and blowing it off. That's a very different matter than shopping at the cheapest store because you simply can't afford to do otherwise. I've got no problem with that - or even with an honest admission that you're just looking for the lowest price, as long as you don't then get on your high horse about Wal-Mart type stores in general. ("you" generic, in this case, not addressing any particular poster)
