I wasn't trying to single out any one business as better then any other, I just believe that until you have run your own business, you dont realise what you are really up against. Running a business is hard work, the money doesnt roll in the front door in trucks.
I have never owned my own business, but I have been the right hand man of someone who does and have seen his pain when left with $100k of stock and price bottoms out due to $$ fluctuations, a manufacturer who you have bet your house on goes belly up, a store room flooded, sweltered through summers of no air conditioning as you landlord cant get the parts to fix it for 6 weeks.
It is easy to pick up a pay cheque each week, it is harder to generate the business to pay that pay cheque.
If you take your time to get to know your local retailer, then they will treat you well. If you just shop on price, then that is all you will see and all you will ever find.
