Yes this rebate plan is a bad idea, but the tone of this thread is really sad.
Waah, poor people are so lucky! They get all the breaks!
Waah, why should they get anything, they didn’t put in!
I hope you don’t live like this in real life. Are you those people who haggle over the check when you go out to lunch? “Now don’t tip too much, 10% is plenty. And I only had water to drink, so I’m paying $2 less than everyone else. And make sure I get my 13 cents change back.”
