In 18 years, have you ever seen a listed price for any service? Dry cleaners and the doctor are the only ones who get away with that.
And have you ever been charged the same price twice for the same service? I don't go all that often, but I swear I bring in the same thing and it is a different price every time.

I have no idea how they do business. I supposedly get the fifth item free on dry cleaning, but I have no idea if that happens. I don't know what they charge or how consistent their prices are. He just says a number and I give him the credit card.
One time I only had two pairs of pants, and that let me do the math. I was aghast at the price, but I have no choice.
We pay the dry cleaner about $75 a month and we pay $220 a month for a maid service at home, and we pay another company to do our yard work that runs another $100 per month. We also average about $400 per month on restaurants. I've kind of pondered if I could combine all of those at some point and hire a live-in maid, but I don't think that's enough.
