You would think more people would be willing to make this kind of effort for 
their customers. Unfortunetaly, at the retail level the customer has no 
loyalty and the attitude of many retailers has sort of become do it to them 
before they do it to you.
Don't get me wrong anyway I can stretch my hobby budget I will even though 
my wife will deny that.  I understand we all have to eat but I didn't think 
they would eat so well.
