Collector Problems

I suppose the obvious solution is to get a better set of pliers, something that is more comfortable to use for a longer period of time.

But of course, it would be nice if we did not have to do that at all.

They have a stapler that flattens the staples automatically. I forgot what it is called though.

I'm frustrated with:

#1 the coin store that sells magnifying glasses that short out when you put in a new battery, and when you go back to tell them about it, they say they know about the problem and there is nothing that they can do about and then ask if you need a new magnifier.
(edit) found another coin shop

#2: Going to the local coin club meeting and buying $30 worth of raffle tickets only to find out that one member buys $80 of raffle tickets per meeting (88 tickets) and walks away with half of the 30 coins being raffled off.
(edit) just don't raffle tickets anymore and am now asked why I don't buy tickets and getting lectured on why I should.
