Stores loose money on Boxing Day sales?

[paddyob]

Well said. I also prefer to pass on over priced/expensive items.
No matter which shop you attend, it will have at least one severely over priced item. Everyshop in Edmonton has from time to time caused me to shake my head. So I don't buy it.

Hey with Canreef I now rarely need any livestock or corals anyhow! Dry goods are usually priced similarly.

Retailers must make money.

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!!!!
