Typical.

Pretty much shows that once the board finds a way to squeeze a dime there
ain't no way they are ever going to give it up. Instead of looking at
alternative non-compulsory methods for raising the money like maybe an
increased drive at sales by the stock clerk or even a bloody bake sale they
would much rather squeeze newbies (becasue that is who will be paying the
Non-member surcharge).

Scum sucking base born venal bastards.
