Call for Price Website Frustration Meme

A two-panel meme featuring Jim Halpert from the American TV show 'The Office (US)'. In the top panel, Jim is standing and pointing at a whiteboard with the text: 'If your website says "call for price".' He is wearing a light blue dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a wristwatch. In the bottom panel, Jim is sitting next to the same whiteboard, which now displays the text: 'I'd rather just never visit your site again.' The background in both panels shows office blinds, maintaining a consistent workplace setting. The meme humorously captures frustration with websites that hide product prices behind a 'call for price' prompt, requiring users to contact the business instead of providing transparent pricing, a common pet peeve in online shopping.
