That line about "support small business, right?" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for a guy who just talked a seller out of a whole dollar. Haggling over pocket change is one thing, but making someone count out ones from a coffee can just to feel like a big spender is where I get off the train. Small businesses get supported when you pay them fairly, not when you nickel and dime them and then hand over a bill that wipes out their whole cash drawer.

That line about them slamming shut like a storm door got me. I had a pantry job last spring where the guy bought his own hardware off one of those discount sites, swore up and down they were soft close. Turns out they were soft close if you pushed the door within an inch of closing, otherwise boom. His wife came home from work one night, let the pantry door go out of habit, and it woke the baby upstairs. He called me the next morning asking if I could "tune them." I told him the only tuning those hinges needed was a trip to the trash can. He ended up buying the good ones anyway, so we both ate the cost of learning that lesson.
