Kudos to you. Everyone should be so lucky, intelligent and skillful, plus have the time and good judgment. Like I said, we ain't all born equal.

I'm not "obligating" authorities to come to my rescue simply because I think I should be able to buy things willy-nilly with no negative repercussions for doing so.

It is not about obligating anyone. They have a reasonable obligation regardless of how I feel or what my expectations are.
Fair is fair, you can't dispute what is good behavior and what is bad, if it is just a one way street.

When I take responsibilty for my own purchasing satisfaction, then the rare occasions when I do get disappointed won't cause me to overinflate the significance of such a trifling inconvenience. I'll deal with it (with the options at my disposal) and move on.

I always realistically move on, when the time is right ... just like finishing a conversation when the time is right, which many selfishly or stupidly fail at, believing they are the only qualified arbiter.
The only thing inflated here, is the notion that others can do whatever they feel like, and that no matter what happens, if you are a victim, it is your own fault.
I don't believe in such a robotic dog eat dog world ... Capitalism at its worst and human behavior at its worst.
Capitalism only really works to the benefit of all, if we are all equal. Nature & Nurture, plus Lady Luck & Gremlins, make sure that we aren't.
