Decision Time

June 08, 2025

I enjoy eating eggs. I do not enjoy reading the research on eggs. I can't tolerate it if someone told me I had to pay just to look at eggs even if I was the person who brought the eggs to be looked at.

However, imagine I owned a shop that displayed eggs of all types, almost a museum for eggs. I have bills to pay. I have time invested. I cannot permit the world to display their eggs for free in my building.

I get it.

So, it is decision time. Do I pay to display eggs even though the museum owner locked me out with no warning, forbidding me to remove my eggs, until I pay? Or do I perform a cost vs. benefit analysis to see if I really want to keep displaying my eggs?

The cost has always been low at this museum. I've been displaying eggs here for nearly a decade. Some people like what they see. Other, not so much. It comes with the territory.

But, it just eats at me to see my eggs locked up, without any notice which the museum owner has always provided during my stay here. He has always given fair warning if and when changes were to be made.

Just not this time. And this time, it stings.

So I choose to pay the price and keep displaying my eggs.

But, I understand when others don't.

I am also hedging my bet because I am curious if there are other egg museums. I wonder what their terms are for displaying eggs.

Not all museum patrons are vocal with their intent. But, all museum patrons comparison shop. This also comes with the territory.
