This is the primary reason (but one of many) why I quit practicing law. The practice of law = mental prostitution; you bill by the hour, you must work to get paid, you are often treated like crap/a commodity, and shaky client loyalty. Lucrative, but tough life sometimes.

It’s brutal. I’m working on a sentencing memo on New Year’s Eve when I could be kicking back for the month of December with the Heritage boys. I also recall doing an arraignment at 1 am on Memorial Day morning last year. I may have to raise my BP a couple points next year like Heritage.

The card (1954 Topps Ernie Banks) I won from Heritage on Dec 8th, got to me on Dec 27th.

All considered, that's decent for Christmas shipping.

Immediate payment but no reciprocity on shipping, a higher BP etc. Heritage is a rich company. All this just smells like corporate greed.

Whether it’s greed or just good business practices is probably in the eye of the beholder. If 20% was cool but 22% is greed, the dividing line seems very thin to me.

And for better or worse, about the only meaningful way to express your displeasure is to take your business elsewhere. I’m guessing Heritage won’t experience a measurable downturn in business from this 2% bump.
