Kenny...would you go to work every day if there was no profit in your business?...of course not...profit is the driving force behind this country's economy...I wouldn't be in the restaurant business (or any other) if I wasn't anticipating a profit...it's GOTTA be there for a business to stay open...the manufacturer has to make a profit, distributor (sometimes two of these) and then the place you buy from has to profit from the sale...sometimes those profit margins get too high and peeps stop buyin and the margins get cut and the price goes down...
That's the way it is, so when you can dodge margin along the way, you've done good...like The Pubah did when he wore his V-20 T-Shirt to The Red Barn...
