It's funny you say that.
I was at Ritz Camera store a few nights ago looking for a UV filter. I asked the guy about it and he took me down an isle (Weird I thought, they have all their filters out in the open (( thinking they would have them behind the counter or something)) So he grabs one and I can't even remember the name brand. I said: Who's this? I've never heard of them. He goes: It's our own brand.
Inside, I chuckle a bit. So he saunters off, back behind the counter. I paruse through a few more of the filters there and notice there aren't any prices. So I take the UV filter to him and ask how much. He scans it and says $16.
I almost spit.
No way. I smiled and mumbled, just enough for him to hear me... 'I don't think so.'
As I'm putting it back, a call comes in from a photographer friend of mine who's all like what's up? And so I tell him, just loud enough for the guy to hear me, that I'm being over charged for a measly UV filter by Ritz Camera and it's their own brand, and my friend goes:
Dude! wtf are you doing! Don't ever go tot Ritz for ANYTHING! My god man, buy it online for 10 bucks and pay the shipping on a higher quality filter and it'll still probably be cheaper!
Then he goes:
Where's a good place to get free fonts?
So I go:
Dafont.
He goes:
Cool thanks!
Then I walked out.
