after submitting a $122,135 order

The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee.

Tesla doesn't have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels

You have to pay $350 to get the privilege to fork over a hundred and twenty grand? My jaw literally dropped.

You forget we live in a society where we have bought tickets and raffles for the chance of being able to buy Air Jordans or Yeezys or w/e fuck shoe that did that.

Actually, I missed that. And I'd rather go back to unknowing it. Shoe shopping is a chore, not a prize.

I've been wearing the same two pairs of shoes for about 4 years now. I thought one pair was failing earlier in the year, but the glue repair held and I've continued to wear them.
