Pet Peeve #1:

Panera Bread wanted to charge me $2.59 for a large cup of hot tea. Mind you, this came with the same tea bag as the $1.59 cup of tea. So for an extra $0.75 (wait - what the hell? When did we lose the cent symbol on the keyboard? I've got a keyboard that controls the volume of my speakers, hot keys for underlining, redo and italics, a separate number keypad, and no cent sign???), I get 6 more ounces of hot water.

That's right. Hot water.

Now, I realize in these current economics times with the US at the highest unemployment rate since 1994, that a mere 75 cents shouldn't chap my ass quite s much. On the other hand, since economic times are what they are, shouldn't I be looking to save money anyways?

Of course, I could just be annoyed because I only had $1.89 in my wallet and I didn't want to use my debit card for their minimum purchase.
