I get exceptional treatment (from all the stores I deal with) and have absolutely no problems with prices or their making a profit. If it's too rich for my blood, I don't buy it. Because of my attitude, they are happy to help me out, give me great service and throw me a deal, when appropriate.

IMO, it's our own attitude that creates the experience. Why on earth would anyone NOT want a store owner to make money and stay in business. They took the risk. They put in the work. they have the knowledge. etc.

Get over yourselves.

Oh...and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

In a perfect world your statement is true. However, I treated a LFS with much respect even giving him over $4000 in buisness in just a few months. The end result was promises broken, over charged on items and just overall a poor experience.

My fault though, I should of researched this LFS first, as I am not the only one to have been "had", by this individual.

You are correct though that everyone needs to make some money, so I have no issues spending money at the stores that treat me with the same respect I give them! If I was in a bind and needed help I know the stores I spend my money at would help me with no questions asked.
