one of the advantages of being a consumer is that you always get to demand the lowest price. a cashier scans your item and it comes up $29.99, but the sticker says $22.99. you get it for $22.99. you have to be watching the scanned prices, otherwise you might miss your opportunity. you can go back later, but it saves time and gas by doing it when they least expect it.
one of the disadvantages of being tall is that you don’t have much feeling in the lower extremities. so, when i bang up my toe, i don’t really notice the wound. i could cut off my toe and i wouldn’t even know until i either bled to death or blood spurted into my eye. whichever came first.
so, you see, there are advantages and disadvantages.
