| That's like a restaurant, with no prices on the menu. "If you have to ask..." I would definitely like to never have to talk to another "people person," and no-calls-but-we'll-give-you-the-info-you-need policy sounds great. |

| ▲ | TeMPOraL a day ago | parent [-] | | You mean a restaurant that gets away with serving mediocre food for ridiculous prices, because the "no prices on the menu" gimmick generates enough status/prestige to compensate for any customer dissatisfaction? I.e. the restaurant equivalent of being famous for being famous. | | |
