You know ash that seems to be the going attitude for our local shops. Your one of the regular customers that got this guy up and running to make his shop a success. You do your business there and send who knows how many customers his way and this is how he rewards your loyalty. Once a shop get established and starts to turn a profit they have a chosen few that they favor and receive price breaks and the rest of their loyal customers pay for the hunts the chosen few take at your expense. Buy from the other guy. The word will get out from people like you and eventually the other guy will be the one with all the business. We had one shop in the area that pulled this crap. The former owner is now back to his old 8 to 5 job for being money hungry jerk.
