Understand yr feeling. Gotten such treatment and sentiment also. For me, didn't support the shop anymore and learned the smart way, buy thr their regulars if I got no choice. Lol, my advice from friends, scold the person who quote as this seems effective for some lfes but not for all. . . Lol. Just don't like the feeling of being carrot headed and their pricing strategy. For some lfes that have standard pricing, I am ok for their premium price. However, most shops do try to mark up for special and unique stocks. . Even though their cost price maybe the same.
