Cheap Europeans
One of the big attractions to visiting America for Europeans is the fact that the Euro is kicking our dollar's ass, and therefore, even with a plane ticket (so they claim) it is cheaper to come here and make all their big purchases where their money goes farther. Well, shoot, I would do the same thing.
Only recently, I witnessed haggling - yes haggling - between one of these Europeans and a Walmart manager over a DVD / VCR combo. Seems Walmart was out of the cheaper model so this cheap euro-trash was trying to convince a Walmart manager they needed to knock down of the Magnavox model that was 10$ more - DOWN 10$ - because the cheaper model was out.
Wait, let me get this straight.
Your Euro is kicking the dollar's ass, you can buy everything almost 30% cheaper, and you have the nerve to haggle over 10$?
This is actually more than that. See, the arrogance of the rich is far-reaching. It seems the more wealth you have, the tighter you pinch a penny. In the case of the Europeans, they actually travel intercontinentally to save a buck. The arrogance of haggling a price at Walmart over 10 bucks is mind blowing. Heck, the idea of haggling at Walmart period is really kind of mindless. People get a life. It's Walmart, it doesn't get cheaper.
Come to think of it, many of these idiots are totally ignorant to the fact that if they were given half the chance, they would haggle Walmart right into bankruptcy.
Hmm....
