True. But look at how many people think they are getting something for nothing from a new car dealer. Fancy gimmicks such as double rebates or free gas are paid for with the money you would have gotten in a cash discount if the gimmick was not a factor. Customer service and other amenities are never free. My dentist has very comfortable waiting and treatment rooms and offers HDTV, coffee and chocolate chip cookies. I pay him more than I would pay the stark, utilitarian and lower cost dental clinic down the street because I appreciate the comfort and the cookies.
