Whoa! Some strong feeling there!
I have no issue with the above scenario at all. I was merely pointing out that I think its a bit rude to be what those in the trade would call a "time waster", someone who would waste considerable amounts of the shopkeepers time without any intention to buy from them.
How is it fair to take advantage of a retailer in such a way and then going to the opposition who happens to be more of an importer/wholesaler for the purchase? One who is not offering the shop front facility.
Before I get my head chewed any further please accept that I'm talking in broad general terms here, without reference to the specifics in this thread. Perhaps I shouldn't have opened my mouth
There's no point getting upset with any vendor about their prices, just don't deal with them.
