Settling in Sinkhole Alley: 'If you live in Florida they're just a fact of life' | World news | The Guardian
Florida had so many problems with sinkholes, and the fact that insurance doesn't cover them, that the state itself had to start offering sinkhole insurance

One word: Ticketmaster
So they now offer "event insurance" when you checkout. In the past, if an event gets canceled, you get the face value of the ticket refunded but not the service fees, which are usually significant.
So I just bought some tickets. $96 face value + $13 service charge, $109 apiece.
The "insurance" is $7 PER TICKET
So, you want me to pay an extra amount that is more than 50% of the initial service fees, in order to get the service fees refunded in the case that the event is canceled.
Holy god, that is the biggest ripoff I've ever seen.
"Here, pay us an extra $7 on the 1% chance you might need to get your $13 back"
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

There are special places in hell reserved for companies like Ticketmaster, Comcast, among others.

Pretty much. It was damn near impossible to see them in concert during the absolute height of their career, in the mid to late 90s. They were playing corn fields in the middle of bumfuck nowhere to avoid Ticketmaster, it sucked.

So I had KFC earlier for dinner. Got the popcorn chicken combo. Find out the soda machines busted so I can only get tea. Get my food, ask for honey mustard, find out they have NO dipping sauces at all. They could have told me this shit when I ordered a food I dip in stuff. My biscuit is stale and had they had no butter for it. Mashed potatoes were cold also. So I fill out the survey on the coupon to let them know how horrible that location was, get a code for a free GO-cup to use at the same location only. Jimmies set to maximum rustle.

Send an email to corporate and I bet you a get gift card out of it. As a fast food connoisseur, that entire situation is completely unacceptable. This is what happens when you franchise. Fucking KFC.
