Capitalism Gives Us Crap

Bought a "Mexican"style sandwich in the Prague train station the other day.  I've been buying these sandwiches off-and-on for a couple of year.

Suddenly, they are thinner--but the price is unchanged. And there are FEWER BEANS!

Probably there's less meat too, but the beans used to be tasty.

Case number two:

Bought a pair of SANSA ballet slippers yesterday in Prague's Sansha store.  Hmmm.
They used to come with a cloth net bag.  Maybe only in the USA?  But these shoes were
brown, as if they'd been sitting in the dust for ages.  But, at least, they fit---unlike all the other shoes I own.

The moral of the story is that Markets give you crap as often as not.
