As a business owner, I have a saying:

“The free enterprise system also allows me to go out of business.”

Or as we tell our customers who complain about the price of seeds/fertilizer/plants going up— “We can go up, or we can go out.”

And most of them never realize that if they ordered the same seeds from some catalogs, they’d be paying 3 or 4 times what they pay us, minimum. And yes, we have the best vegatable/herb/flower plants—homegrown, I might add—in our county and prob several of the surrounding counties. Not to mention the most pleasant and knowledgable staff! :)

This guy is a cheapskate. We have also asked a few of our more obnoxious customers NOT to come back. Something that happens VERY infrequently.
