My point was strictly intended to be about unrealistic expectations like for an
analogy expecting Cadillac quality for a Kia price.
People can have their radios fixed wherever they want to. That's their choice,
I couldn't care less, ain't my business, ain't worth my time.
People can charge however much or little they want to. I couldn't care less
about that either. Ain't my business or worth my time either.
Last time I checked we were still living in a capitalist free market economy.
But I have to draw a line when people think they're going to walk into my shop
and tell me how to run my business, regardless of what line of business I'm in.
