Yup, it did occur to me that the $7 buck guy would have to put his money
where his mouth was, so to speak. When I was asked about my supplier, the
wording was: would I "be a good citizen" and give my competitor the name of
my supplier? When did being a "good citizen" equal being a business idiot?!
I agree with you about quality usually being linked to price. It's
amazing-and irritating- how many people want quality without paying for it
though. Certainly not the kind of customers that I want!
Thanks for the support. :-)
