Fair point.

Sadly, we can get good and bad there too;

Last time I went to the local computer shop, I'm afraid that what they
were offering was nearly three times more costly than it ought to be -
what should have been a £25 or so router/modem was being sold at nearly
£60.  When I asked for a discount based on evidence I provided, I was
told in no uncertain terms "We don't do discounts".

"Way to go: Put yourself out of business", I thought.

It meant I was without internet for about a week, but I simply wasn't
going to throw money away.
