Maybe I am becoming a grumpy old man

I visited a coffee outlet, no prices were displayed.
I asked where are your prices? Response was, "What would you like"?
"I would like to see a price list"
"I can tell you what the price is if you tell me what you want"
"Why do you not have a price list displayed? Then we would not be having this conversation. Do you actually have a price list?"
She started to show signs of distress and started hurrying around the place looking for a price list.
"I do not understand why businesses have taken to not having prices displayed"
She eventually finds one under the counter and places it in front of me.
"This store used to have prices displayed on a board on the wall. That has been removed. I do not understand this business model."
Anyway, I ordered and paid, she went over to the "Barista"? they exchanged a few words whilst eyeballing this grumpy old man. 😄

I slammed the door on an exterminator salesman today when he wouldn't take no for an answer and I've felt guilty about it ever since.

@SW-User let it go now. Those salespeople think they have the right to invade and pester us. He will not be back.
Remember, they chose to do that line of work. You are not obligated to oblige them in any way.
I had the Mormans visit me one day, I was polite when I said I am not interested so please do not visit me again.
They were also polite and said they would write in their book, Do Not Visit.
I never saw them again.

@SW-User there is a company that sends out very aggressive salespeople here who won’t stop talking and offering deals. They start out saying that a lot of my neighbors have signed up with them and then start talking about the bugs they are seeing around the houses inside and out. I haven’t slammed a door yet but let them know I got something cooking on the stove and need to get back in the kitchen. They usually come around 5 pm or so.
