| Before reading my guess is the shit quality of products. Edit: 1/2 right, it's also shit service. |

| I’m only surprised it does not mention the road rage most drivers might only have in their mind but a few let it get the better of themselves and make the news -that’s always been present for most adult Americans daily lives. |

| One of the lead paragraph issues, yes. You win the steak knives! |

| ▲ | zzgo 12 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I bought steak knives last year. The handles all shattered when I ran them through the dish washer. | | |
| ▲ | Filligree 11 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Please don’t run them through the dish washer. Limited heat tolerance is common even for the really good ones. | | |
| ▲ | ggm 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I wonder if those old school knife cleaners which flung silver sand all over them in some rotary manner have some utility? Bone handled EPNS cutlery was definitely not designed for the modern age. (never seen one in action, seen them in victorian era catalogues and stately home kitchen-museums) | |

| In a way, shit quality/service is basically a form of high prices. If something that costs $20 and shouldn’t break for 4 years, breaks in 2 weeks, you effectively paid a high price for a $2 product. |

| ▲ | hankbond 12 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Good point. Things cost more not just in unit cost but amortized over the item's lifetime (or I guess put differently, how much Refrigerator $ you spend over the course of your life). | |
| ▲ | fsckboy 12 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | >If something that costs $20 and shouldn’t break for 4 years, breaks in 2 weeks, you effectively paid a high price for a $2 product. not true if all the other knives on the market at that price have the same performance, in which case that's just "the price of such a knife." in order to have paid too much there needs to be cheaper options with the same or better performance. | | |
| ▲ | darth_avocado 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | > in order to have paid too much there needs to be cheaper options “Paid too much” from a consumer standpoint doesn’t need to have viable cheaper options. It’s about consumer expectations and results. If eggs in the grocery store cost $20/dozen, and you as a producer are taking a loss at that price because your producer costs arw $2/egg, consumers will still say they are paying too much. Because the expectation is coming from a market where a dozen costs $5-8. | | |
