Opinion of SuperCuts

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

A corporate chain for getting your hair cut?  How perverse and disgusting.  Anyone who went to Supercuts should be ******* ashamed of themselves.

[King]

I don't know how they are in business. They've been a punchline for a bad haircut as far as I can remember.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I don't like SuperCuts.  I always go to Sport Clips.  They're a little higher, but they're usually pretty good.

[Lief 🗽]

Obviously horrible. But I haven't seen one in a long, long time.

They have them at least 1 in every 4 major intersections in Oklahoma it seems like.  They seem to breed like rabbits.  (I don't know the exact number or intersection ratio, but they do have a bunch).

God damn it, Bushie.  Is your church a [Inks]ing chain, too?

Our nation's greatest city has the sense to keep parasites like SooperKuts away from fine small business owners like this;

It beats paying $50 for some frou frou salon. Supercuts is like JiffyLube. You get in. You get out. And you're done for a while. There's no need to be fussy about ambiance from a barbershop.

Yes, that is what I believe lube is intended for.

[Lief 🗽]

Do they not have $15 to $20 barber shops in Memphis? They're all over the place here. No need to go to an expensive salon.

[angus]

No strong opinion, but the one nearest me charges $8.95 for a haircut, which is $1.95 more than the place I usually go.  I get my hair cut about two or three times per year.  For me, the haircut is all about price.  There are very few things I treat like that.  Houses, cars, mayonnaise, liquor, and meat are all purchased on criteria that of course include price, but involve other considerations as well, so I may not get the cheapest one when it comes to those things, but a haircut is something I do when it just gets so long that I'm having to wave it from my eyes just to see stuff, and the only real difference between them is price.  Since supercuts is not the cheapest, I don't purchase there, even thought it is conveniently located about 500 meters from my house, in between my son's dentist and the liquor store I visit several times every week. 

When I lived in Iowa, I went to supercuts once in a while.  They were about a ten-minute walk from my crib and they often placed two-dollar-off coupons in the local circulars, which made it $6.95,  That was about five cents cheaper than the cheapest place in town.  I don't mind paying seven dollars every six months for a mowing, but any more than that is a bit too steep for my tastes.  A good bottle of wine or a good steak may want 20 dollars, but then that takes years, even decades of work from an organic organism to produce.  A hair-mowing is a 15-minute operation.  I don't really see a hair-removal specialist justifying more than about 25 dollars per hour, so supercuts here is a bit beyond my target range for such a service.  I'm not a movie star.

When I lived in California there was a fat Angolan woman--yes, apparently there are apparently a few people from Angola who are fat--who cut my hair for six dollars.  And she was only about two blocks from my apartment.  Those days are long gone.  Seven dollars is the cheapest shop I can find anymore.

I'm sorry Uncle Angus and memph, but can't there be a few things that corporate parasites don't get their greedy mits into?  The local barbershop and your favorite barber are just nice relics of small business.  It's so tasteless and disturbing to me for SuperCuts to weasel their way downtown.  I bet they tell their "stylists" to refuse tips, too.  Soulless and flashy. 

Saddening.

[bedstuy]

A haircut is all about the barber.  If a good barber has made bad life choices and works at SuperCuts, by all means go there.  Really, what you should do is find someone who does a good job on your hair and go to them every time. 

If you save $5 or $10, but have an ugly haircut, it's not worth it.  Your hair really influences how you look so you should at least try a little bit.

I've never had a Supercuts barber refuse a tip.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

I'm sorry you don't like SuperCuts, HockeyDude. Did they give you a bad haircut or something? Next time you should go to SportClips for a high quality trim.

The quality has nothing to do with it.  Nor wouls I ever go there or a "Sports Clips".  Whatever that is.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

I usually go there when I need a trim. It's fine. And there are better substitutes for interesting personality traits than bitching about chains, FTR.

[Mechaman]

Pointless.  Why go to the barber and spend ten dollars everytime when you can just plunk down $12 for this?:

Well, you suck then.  And no, interesting people can point out how lame and tasteless this country is anymore.  I don't see your point.  Have fun in the future when Olive Garden is your only option to go out for an Eye-talian dinner.

I don't really disagree with your overall point about chains killing America, but put some ice on that huge rash bro.  Don't worry, the WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE is on its way.

Better not be a chain hospital.

[Deus Naturae]

I don't get it. If you don't like them, just don't go there. I can understand not liking chains but why does everyone have to have the same preferences as you?

Is there such a thing as a non-chain hospital?

I don't know about elsewhere, but the hospitals in Oklahoma City and Tulsa are autonomous, but with several smaller physicians offices and special care facilities throughout the city.  I don't know if that's what you mean when you say "chain"?

EDIT:  The only "chain" hospital I can think of here is the Cancer Treatment Center of America in SE Tulsa which has 4 other hospitals throughout the country.

Who said you have to have the same preferences as me?  Why can't anyone in this place differentiate criticism and intolerance?  I find SuperCuts to be tasteless.  So I find going there to be tasteless.  But now we are discussing my attitude towards things.  It's not about my ideosyncracies.  It's about how this vapid hellhole of an economic system shatters even the relationship between a patron and his neighborhood barber.  It disgusts me because it's pattern with everything.  You would think the suits could leave a few small business owners alone.  But no.  They invade and conquer everything with their filthy, soulless chains.

Obviously a joke.  But thanks for elaborating, Bushie.

Hospitals are not chains, yet.

I thought it was a joke, but just felt like opining anyway.

I'm sorry Uncle Angus and memph, but can't there be a few things that corporate parasites don't get their greedy mits into?  

strip clubs, maybe?  The kind where 20-year-old women with muffs shaved to resemble a pencil just above take off one garment at a time and throw it on you in exchange for small notes.  (the tacit implication being that for bigger notes you might get a taste.)  Those places where they charge you nine dollars for a 12-ounce bottle of Sam Adams and require that you order at least one drink every 30 minutes in order to keep your chair.  I'm sure you know the type of joint.  I know of no chain version of those.

Of course some corporate exec will read this post and get the idea.  It's only a matter of time till we begin to see big neon TGIpussy signs (with a familiar child-friendly logo, "Gluten- and peanut-free complementary snacks") on every block.
