why is it so hard to buy a window

money *can't always* be exchanged for goods and services

i need to buy a new bathroom window (for my bathroom)

i visited andersen's website because i hear they make good windows

i gave them the measurements and picked out the features i wanted,
my excitement growing with each completed step


but then, an obstacle


a screenshot of a button that says 'get a quote'


can you not just tell me the price?

can i not just buy a window?


a screenshot of andersen's onerous terms and conditions just to find out how much a window costs

apparently not.

apparently i have to agree to learn more
about andersen windows and doors' products.

i have to agree to receive recurring
advertising calls, texts, and emails.

i have to agree to their privacy policy
and their terms and conditions.

APPARENTLY they don't want me to buy a window.
