Is Alberta having a frozen hash brown shortage? Haven’t been able to buy them anywhere in Windsor/Essex County for months! Not the patties, the regular kind. Tiny little cubes.

Basically hail-sized.

i have to send emails with explanations like above at least once/week and it gets old having to explain over and over again that your "cool" logo won't work. if the guys designing the logos had any clue about the limitations of other industries it could save future headaches.
In a similar vein, I wish "Uncle Bob" would stop dispensing tax advice to people...how often I have to explain why what Uncle Bob has told someone they can do is..illegal, not possible, doesn't really apply in their situation, is really really stupid and just asking for an audit, or is wrong on so many levels there isn't an Income Tax Act big enough to cover it all. For free, of course, because charging people for something they "can't do" (but think they can) is a good way to lose clients. As I move to retirement this process becomes easier. :-)
$75 to take my kiddo bowling for the first time. Just me and him. Couldn't pay for just a half hour, 60 min minimum. Of course after 28 mins in it was about perfect and he'd have been perfectly happy to be done. Of course we were a pretty unusual case, but still bloody expensive!

What people also don't understand is that there's hundreds of ways to file your taxes correctly/strategize for tax purposes. It sometimes depends on your situation. The answer is always "it depends". What many other people also don't seem to understand is that accountants often deals with rules and law. People think accountants primarily deal with numbers. Actually the classification is more important than the number. This is completely different than doing something that is completely wrong. Also, what some people can do for tax purposes, others cannot.
Some clients though... I've basically distilled it down to, "You can try and do whatever you want. It doesn't mean I will be helping you do it." The business relationship ceased when they actually tried to do those crazy things.

Jesus h.. $75 for throwing balls down a lane.
How are families supposed to do family things in the future with how rates for these things have climbed?
That's bordering on immoral for a company to charge a parent and child that to play a game.

Where was this? I was looking at going on a date recently and thought we would do dinner, bowling and a movie or something. I was making sure that the bowling alley was open and wen to make a reso. I saw it was like $65 an hour and was stunned.
I recall a few years ago we would go with friends and we would pay for a few games and be done with it. It wasn't expensive. Now it seems oddly expensive
In fairness to the bowling conversation. For a family or a date, the cost is probably not getting split. If you're bowling with a few friends 15-20 each for an hour isn't really that bad. There's worse entertainment that's more expensive for sure.

I hate hearing people tell me that they are allowed to deduct all sorts of things when they file taxes because so and so does it. Sure you can put whatever you want on your return, doesn't mean it's actually allowable. It's just waiting for CRA to come audit you is all.

I don't know, I don't think anyone is getting rich in having a bowling alley.
$75 for the hour. Unless you are having 20 beers I doubt they make anything.
Probably 4-5 hours of prime earning hours a day, less earlier in the week. Massive footprint, so their taxes and rent must be huge. Decent power costs to keep that place warm and functioning. Maintaining some oldass mechanical infrastructure, parts always moving and thus failing. Probably need some sort of mechanic on staff.
Maintaining the grossass shoes and balls and pins. Probably have to refloor periodically.
