Good, Fast, and Cheap

When it comes to goods and services,  most people want three things: they want good quality, they want fast service, and they a deal--they want it cheap. 

However, anyone who has tried to get all three of those attributes in one item or service know the truth: it's nearly impossible to get all three qualities in any product or service. 

So you can get something that's good and cheap, but it will take a while. 

You can get something good and fast, but it's going to cost you.

And you can certainly get something fast and cheap, but it won't be very good.

Visually, it looks like this:

For the most part I completely agree with this rule--for everything from a home remodel, to a haircut, to lunch, we get what we pay for...and what we wait for.

But there must be exceptions to this rule. Personally, I know that a cup of chickory coffee and beignets at Cafe' du Monde in New Orleans fits the bill for all three. But there must be more!

Do you know any other exceptions to this rule? Please share them in the comments!
