   Hey, "It's just business"......Heard that one?

 This shop guy, he's only doing what is right for his stockholders and his
Bottom Line.   If they CAN charge that much and they don't, they would be
'neglecting their duty to the shareholders'.  Their duty is to maximize
profit for the company...  Who would ever approve of someone who charged
less than they could?  Someone like that would be a poor CEO or a lame
business leader...   If you don't like it, go somewhere else.  (Oh,
wait..you can't?  You're stuck?  Tough luck!  It's just business)..That is
what they tell you..Capitalism works.
