......I def understand $90/hr can pinch the wallet but inflation hit everyone everywhere and mongering isn’t exactly supposed to be an inexpensive cheap hobby. When i feel I’m getting ripped off sometimes i try to put myself in the girls perspective, If i were a chick would I be willing to jerk rando dudes off for a measily $60? Hell if i were a chick, you’d have to pay me a million bucks to touch some icky schmucks crooked dicks. Its all in perspective and i can appreciate a good rub by an attractive big titty chick and i know that aint gonna be cheap.
You are at an event where you are not able to bring in beverages or food. You are really thirsty and the guy wants 12 bucks for a bottled water. It doesn't matter that his cost for that bottle went from 20 cents to 25 cents and it was 8 bucks last year. He doesn't care if you know it either as its hot out and he will sell out all his bottles. you pay the 12 bucks.
The bagel shop in Farmingdale gets $1 for a bagel. You want a couple of plain bagels to bring home it's $1 each. A short time ago it was 0.75 a bagel — inflation of raw materials, labor and all that. However if you go in 30 minutes before closing time they will sell you bagels for 0.50 each — inflation of raw materials , labor and all that doesn't matter.
anyway, from what I see there are a lot more providers and a lot less customers nowadays. There are just so many HH or 1Hr time slots in a day and when a time slot goes unused it is gone forever.
