I’m sorry in advance for this post but I really had no choice and no one else to talk to about this.
2 weeks ago I bought two tickets to an evening Halloween event at a theme park over $140. A week later the commiefornia county enforces the mask mandate and the theme park is now forced to check the vaccine card of every visitors. Obviously I don’t and will never take the vax. But this park has an absolute no refund policy no matter what. I’ve not been going out since last year at all and I thought I would have some fun with my family and then these commie forces the mandate again. So should I go to the theme park tonight or should I stay at home? It was such a mistake purchasing these 2 tickets.
UPDATE: thanks everyone for your advices. But I ended up staying at home instead. I think it’s safer in general and the idea of going to the Hollywood devil den is just not a smart idea ☠️
Maybe this anecdote will help you.
When I was selling memberships at a healthclub/gym (a racket-club, spelling intended), many prospective membership purchasers would be hesitant to pay the upfront cost of joining (which was peanuts compared to the monthly fees added up over time, but hoo-mons are irrational about long term costs).
So in order to get them over the initial cost hesitancy, we would pose one question to get them to see things in perspective. It worked remarkably well. The question was:
Nearly everyone would think about it for a moment and realize that the $150+ cost was chickenfeed when compared to living a potentially longer, healthier, more active and fullfilling life. Out came the checkbook and another sale was made.
So my question to you is this:
$140?
$200?
$10,000?
Priceless?
A lot of people have sold it for much less than $140. The choice is yours to make.
May God bless you.
Hopefully the message reaches beyond the OP.
