The Cost of Conviction


I had a headlight go out the other day, and I couldn't install a new one myself, because I am obviously, not really a man.

So, I called up Jiffy Lube and asked how much it would cost for them to install a new bulb that I would bring in myself. $29.

So, I called Walmart. $4.50.

Now, let's say you have a moral problem with Walmart's business practices. How high could a Jiffy Lube or other place, provided you liked their business practices, charge you before you decide to cave for the cost?

FYI: I'm traveling this weekend. See you on Monday.
