      They cost more up front between the batteries and the charger. Ya you save money in the long run but a 50 pack of Costco batteries lasts long enough until a few more paychecks down the line.

      Why richer people dont get them, I couldn't tell you. There are still AOL subscribers in the world and people are still willing to pay for cable - not just for sports either. I think some people have just literally never thought of it.

        The same reason that even wealthier people just buy nicer tissue paper instead of blowing their noses into reusable handkerchiefs.

        Society tells us that certain things are disposable and when we encounter a mild inconvenience (charging a rechargable battery or tossing a handkerchief into the washing machine) we fall into confirmation bias.

      years and years of crappy rechargeable ones souring the idea, even if the newer ones are decent people aren't trusting of them

      now that I think about it that was almost certainly intentional, knowing how big corps work and how there's just a few big battery corps
