We subsist in twenty first century where money is taken away from us just like anything. If the robbers deprive our money we file complaint and we feel not so secured ….but how about many smart robbers who rob our money pretty much on every day to day basis? I just sense at times it is intricate to digest some of the policies of some of the organizations we deal with on our daily lives.
Here are some of the examples which makes me speculate I have to be really careful. Bank asking us to register for ‘Auto pay’ to give us a discount for security box every year, Dish service automatically enrolling in one of their packages after the promotional period and you being charged (you wouldn’t know until later), Internet service provider automatically charging you higher amount after certain period saying promotional period is over and retail chains offering credit cards to lure customers and having them fall into the trap of high interest. ‘Auto pay’ seems to be a big culprit and many are exploiting this completely since practically it is not possible to manually go and pay every single month for the ‘n’ number of cards since every cycle is different from one another.
I just feel there has to be a line drawn somewhere between doing business smartly and exploiting customers. Well promotions are key business driver in this cutthroat world but that should not be at the cost of customers hard earned money. Apart from this when I turn on the television I hear government estimates to make so many amount of crores from collecting taxes from TASMAC wine shops. Can the government rely on other ways to make money? Also food these days are so very contaminated and artificial and everything is done to make profits at a faster pace.
So Money is the order of the day. Profit making and becoming rich are the only goals and many human values are slowly but surely disappearing. People who are honest are tagged as ‘Outdated’ …more I think more I get confused.
