Now multiply this by 7 days a week 52 weeks a year for one person. My other favorite is all the addicts who show up with a toothache or stomach pain and ask for percs. Get some and leave and then show up again the next day.
I see that too whenever, infrequently, I need services, I pay 150 bucks to get in the door, the above are serviced before me and pay nothing, get everything they need. This makes me upset
