0:00.0	Today, I realized that my nail salon has been scamming me out of so much money, as they are constantly
0:05.1	changing the price.
0:06.4	So I decided to get some revenge by quite literally leading a revolt, by telling everybody
0:10.8	else around me how much I was being charged, causing all the other customers to realize
0:14.9	that they were getting scammed as well.
0:16.7	Here's what happened.
0:17.7	Okay, so I got my nails done this morning at the same nail salon I've been going to for almost two years. It has well over a thousand great reviews online, and they've
0:25.9	always done amazing work. They don't post their prices anywhere, but I've always paid about $50.

1:04.3	desk told me that it was $70. I was surprised because I got them done last month, and I'm pretty
1:09.5	sure it was only 40. The lady said
1:11.6	that the prices went up, which I felt should have been stated somewhere, but I know that businesses
1:15.8	are nervous about the economy, so I understood a hike. I paid my bill and internally decided to
1:20.9	find a new salon, not because they did anything wrong, but paying $70 for nails isn't worth it
1:26.1	for me while there are cheaper places around. After I paid,
