It seems like everywhere you go there is a policy. A policy about how to return things, a policy about additional fees, a policy about toys on the beach, a policy about where to park, a policy about where to sit in the park, a policy about this and a policy about that. The policy police have taken over and are now adding rules upon rules to many of the simple everyday pleasures that we\u2019ve always taken for granted.<\/p>\n
The policy problem, as I think of it, has swept the nation and I don\u2019t like it one bit. This is on top of the additional charges that many corporations have come up with over the last few years: fuel surcharges, mail charges, minimum balance fees, cancellation fees, and all the others that have become the norm in the consumer society in which we live and spend.<\/p>\n
Well, guess what, I have my own policy: not to pay attention to other people\u2019s policies and fight fees and surcharges whenever they are levied. I am sick and tired of the response to anything that I question: \u201cI am sorry, sir, that is our policy.\u201d<\/p>\n
It seems that the world at large has decided to give in to the rigidness of policies and no longer has any interest in flexibility. I enjoy flexibility. Flexibility makes the world a more enjoyable place to live in; rigidness just does not work for me. Am I alone here? I can\u2019t believe other people aren\u2019t also sick and tired of this mistreatment.<\/p>\n
What burns me up even more is that when I complain about one of these injustices, I usually get a pass\u2013or at least a credit for the additional fee. What this tells me is that the company is pulling a fast one, as my dad would say, refunding the money only for those who complain those who raise a stink. It\u2019s a numbers game for them. Some bean counter somewhere has crunched the data and determined that a small number of people will complain loudly enough to get a refund while most will shut up and pay, as the company pockets the additional revenue. Well, stand up and be counted. Don\u2019t let them punish your pocketbook with their policies!<\/p>\n
