Yeh, I figured you must or he wouldn't have been so nice to you.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I didn't mean to sound like a preacher. I owned my own business for 30 years and I know how people can be. You get it, .... some people don't. They think the business man is there to give it away at all cost. They just don't understand the cost involved. If you don't take in a dime you still have to pay the $6,000 a month rent for 2,200 square feet, make payroll for 15 people, pay matching social security, unemployment insurance, $750 for property insurance, $2,000 for utilities etc etc etc every month. Good month or bad month... those cost are pretty much always there. After you get through that you start to take some home..... you hope. And then some jerk will walk in and tell you "So and So" is 5 cents a shirt cheaper. Why are you so high? And as you punch in the computer he says he'll try you because "So and So" is always ruining something or can't do it for 5 days or he doesn't get it clean. "Did I tell you I want this tonight"? I'm serious... it never ceased to amaze me. I made up my mind about 1973 that if I was going under it wasn't going to be because I was the cheapest and not getting paid a fair price. I ran about 3 sales in 30 years but did have some coupons once in a while. The guy after the bargain, I told him I wasn't the place. I hardly ever had someone walk out. I know,,... I'm preaching again.
