I've been struck by how ugly some stores catering to the poor are. Not ugly because they are cheaply decorated, but intentionally ugly, using things like black on yellow coloring for signage, etc. I guess it's eye-catching, but not in a good way.

I seem to be the only one in our family that realizes that we're the ones that paid for that. Better than charging the same amount for a dumpy office, but makes me wonder how much we've been overpaying. Even a fancy restaurant will follow the 5second rule in the kitchen, but it will be a nicer floor they're picking it off of. (I never understood granite countertops... they're porous! The last thing you'd want in a kitchen).
