Fully agree. We are completely disillusioned with virtually everything. Not necessarily prices but crap customer service generally more than anything - but being grossly overcharged just makes the poor quality and poor service even worse.
We have 2/3 UK holidays per year and have taken to cooking our own meals for most of the time because eating out isn't enjoyable anymore and stupidly expensive for poor quality. Grumpy/surly staff, poor service, crap food quality, just not worth it. We even struggle to buy decent food - so many times pieces of meat which look OK turn out to be gristly or fatty or shrink to a fraction of their size in the counter - that's not just supermarkets, it's butcher shops too. "Fresh" fruit and veg that's gone off the day after purchase. It's awful.
Same with clothes shopping. High Street stores have bugger all in stock, so direct you to order online. Then when it comes, the quality is poor, thin material, poorly stitched, inconsistent sizing, crazy patterns i.e. short sleeves on thermal winter pyjamas, body length too long/too short, necks too tight or too gaping, etc. I finally found a pair of jeans that fitted (normal size 12!) from M&S so ordered the exact same one in a different colour (same range) in the same size, but when it arrived, leg length was 3 cm longer, thigh width was 3 cm narrower - M&S can't even manage to quality control the same size in the same range!
Customer service has gone down the toilet in the past decade or two. Firms/organisations are taking on useless staff, not training them, not supervising/managing them.
DH is still wearing work clothes that he bought in the mid 1990s before we got married as he can't find anything anywhere near the same quality in the High Street stores today. These aren't high class suits/trousers/shirts - they're all bought from the likes of Debenhams, M&S, C&S, Littlewoods, etc. - still going strong despite almost weekly wear for nearly 30 years.
I'm still wearing blouses/skirts/dresses from the same era for the same reasons.
Companies are missing a trick. We could literally spend hundreds/thousands of pounds but we don't because we don't like the quality/range of products currently available.
Same with our house, We've a list of jobs we want doing, i.e. new roof, replacement bathroom, but we go cold at the thought of having to deal with tradesmen after a series of poor experiences, so again, probably about £25k of work we've got the money for, but just can't face spending because we don't want to risk crap tradesmen so will wait until it becomes a necessity. Same with a replacement lounge gas fire that's now end of life - if we knew we could get a decent tradesmen to fit it without making an unholy mess and damaging the decoration, we'd do it tomorrow - that's another couple of thousand of spending that's not happening any time soon.
