that’s the rub about paying in advance. You might save a few dollars but then again they might not be around by the time it ends.
The only solace I can think of is that you take the knowledge to bed with you that this place will never truly be prosperous, and will likely be non-existent in the coming future.
I’m amazed that a business which obviously lives or dies on whether a customer continues … would be stupid enough to shit on a customer willing to pay a year in advance.
…. they won’t be around long.
