Expectations vs reality for those who moved from a city to a small town?
-
Did you reply to the wrong comment or something? This doesn't make any sense.
If you don't want to understand something, then you won't understand it.
I don't expect more from you.

If you're insecure about getting taken for a ride, that's on you. There's no argument you can make to change the fact that you are being fleeced when you buy alcohol at bars. Drug addicts say the same things when they are paying 500%+ markup on their drugs. "It's worth it to them."
Keep going to bat for the people ripping you off. It's what's expected of you.
Lol I'm not insecure, nice try. When I went to a bar I had a pint or three in good company, sometimes, shocker!, we even ate at a restaurant, even if I could have been paying less for something cheap from the supermarket and eat at home.
But you do you, watch out for scurvy as you eat crappy cheap food alone at home lol, counting every penny.

Sure bud. That's why you keep trying to justify to us why you're not getting ripped off when you are.
I might as well be talking to a heroin addict. They don't think they're getting ripped off, either.
I've sold drugs to people like you before, and it's always sad when you don't realize how much money I'm making off of your ignorance.

So you're a complete asshole, a drug seller, trying to teach me a valuable life lesson, looooooooooooool
BTW you're probably not, just an angsty teenager sitting in mom's basement and have only seen drugs, bars and friends on TV.
Go touch grass.

Ask the people here trying to justify why they go to bars.
What is there to justify? Is going to bars immoral? Unethical?
-
I'm in the process of doing the above and would like to hear about your experience. Were there any surprises? What was as you expected?
The old joke, "If you want to live forever move to a small town because every day will feel like an eternity."

Re-read my previous comment.

Time does seem to move more quickly the older I get. Maybe I want it to slow down. Though I wonder what difference the size of town or city really makes?

It's the rush and hubbub of those around you. You won't expect things to happen instantly because there aren't enough people around to jump when you ask. I live in South Florida now, and if I want a tree cut down on my property, I can call an arborist and he will be there to estimate and probably complete the job in a matter of days. I am moving to NH, and the same service they are like "we only do estimates on Saturdays...and it's raining this Saturday... So maybe next Saturday we can come out for an estimate".
It's not a terrible thing. You get used to things taking a little longer. Might be a long walk or a bit of a drive to get to your favorite diner, but you know the people there now, and you can spend a bit more time on breakfast catching up with them.
Shops probably close a bit earlier too. You might as well go home for the night early since nowhere is open. Might be nice to catch up on reading that book this evening. You can shop tomorrow. Etc etc.
