Do you expect the same courtisey from Walmart?
Walmart gives me the "best" price right upfront so to answer your question, Yes.
How much money do you have to spend there each year before you think you are one of these "good customers" that should get discounts.
If I bought a bow every year for the past 5 years I'd expect to get prefered treatemnt. That's the beauty of the situation. If the shop owner dosen't care to (assuming he can lower his price and still make a profit) give me a good deal I can drive down the road and save $120.00. For some $120.00 may not be a big deal but to others like myself who support a wife and two young boys, $120.00 to spend on myself is quite a bit of money. Espically if I need not spend it to get the same exact product down the road a bit.
